QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 09:13 AM) It's also hard to judge things without radar guns and pitch tracking. Ed and DJ only mention the type of pitch thrown on the odd occasion, so it's hard to tell if someone is just working on fastball location early in ST, or just breaking breaking pitches in mid-ST. Similarly, I'll feel a lot better about our chances if Peavy is throwing ~94 right now, despite results. Actually, that'd be kinda scary for me, since I'd worry if Peavy were throwing that hard right out of the gates without having a chance to stretch his arm out over the year.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 09:14 AM) I didn't claim that the issues don't exist, merely that they may have nothing to do with the manager. But clearly, not every team gets off to a poor start. Bruce Chen doesn't have a 3.30 career ERA against every team. That means there is something which the Sox are doing different against these guys where the Sox are failing where other people succeed. Somewhere in that puzzle, the coaching staff fits in.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 11:15 PM) God, it's so annoying. Even if they had to deal Deng and Noah, Dwight and Rose is an insane combo and you have enough depth to fill out a great starting five any way you slice it. Again I'll note...Deng and Noah for Howard and Hedo really isn't the greatest deal for Dwight either...even if the pick and Mirotic are included, that deal puts a whole lot of long term money onto the Magic's roster. It keeps them basically stuck in Luxury tax territory for the near future. I don't know that I'd accept that deal if I were them.

49ers to give Moss a workout also.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 07:33 AM) If I'm Manning, I'm playing indoors with one of the best WR's in the league. Not sure how the Cards line is, but AZ is an easy choice for me. Look what Warner did. Their line has been worse the last year or two than what Warner had. They tried to fit some RT in at their LT slot and that didn't go over well.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 09:07 AM) If the exact same sorts of things occur under both Ozzie and Robin, wouldn't you then suspect that the manager has nothing to do with these issues at all? No, because there are clearly teams that can hit left handed pitching, for example.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 11:38 PM) What, over the stupid 'Quran' burning thing? So therefore those murders were 'self-inflicted' ? If we can't be incredibly careful to avoid "Cultural insensitivites", then we ought to stop occupying countries.

Tennessee actually has a real shot here, they're a much better team than they were when they started the year and that might push them to really be up to compete in this

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) They drew a very tough pod. Good luck. I just wanted the 4 seed. I'm content with this season. Now I can arbitrarily put us in teh elite 8 and pretend it will actually happen.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) Tebow on the Jaguars would be hysterical media wise. You and everyone else in the country have very different definitions of hysterical.

Anybody else thinking Harvard/Vandy 12/5 will be one hell of a game?

W00t, 4 seed.

I think that's shown up on the travel channel or something like that before.

Again, this doesn't seem good.

Yeah, AJ is in the 2 hole because no one else has earned it.

I'm watching Johan Santana against Mark Buehrle, yet the uniforms are wrong...

Kyle Korver wants you to have hot sauce on those big macs!

Christ Boozer, we have 9 players tonight and you commit a foul 0:15 in?

Oh, and look, the next 2 games for the Bulls are the Knicks on Monday and the Heat on Wednesday.

LOL Benny reading the Tribune in a lawn chair while the Jazz were intro'd.

So the Bulls are 9 deep tonight? Rose, Boozer, Taj, Omer, Brewer, Lucas III, Scalibrine, Butler, and Korver. At least Butler will get some minutes.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 07:49 PM) Is there a package out there that could net the Bulls Monta Ellis? He'd be exactly what they need. I think the Bulls need Jesus to heal the sick and injured.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 07:51 PM) Out for Bulls: CJ, Rip, Deng, Noah Out for Jazz: Harris, Bell. Rose goes for 100 tonight. Noah's out too?
