It's really getting impressive how many big names are getting caught, when the program originally started nabbing "Alex Sanchez's" struggling to stay in the big leagues.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 07:52 PM) Just have to laugh at anybody moronic enough at this point to take PEDs. So f***in dumb. Yup. That's Goldman Sachs quality dumb.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 07:41 PM) And that had nothing to do with their revival, which started in the last few years. Really? And selling off that 1b with the funny sounding name for players a couple years later had nothing to do with it? And their 5 years of struggling ahd nothing to do with them being able to build up that talent level?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 07:46 PM) The Bulls obviously didn't offer. That 5 mill difference is nothing given team situations. ? Can the bulls actually offer more than $20 mil over 4? They just have the MLE right? He might have taken less, but I don't think the Bulls could match that.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 07:36 PM) LOL at ESPN for having the wrong score up when the game winning shot went up (KY 75 IU 70). Way to go "Leader." I saw that, laughed, didn't care.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 07:36 PM) You mean the Rangers who never really unloaded their expensive and at times underpreforming talent, such as Michael Young and waited for them to bounce back? "They didn't?" The Rangers payroll was #3 in MLB in 2002, stayed up over $100 million in 2003, and in 2004, their total payroll was halved to $55 million.

IU's first win over a #1 since that win against Duke in 02.

THAT IS WHY YOU STORM A COURT!

Man, that would be a s***ty way to not get the last shot off, just basically dropping the ball.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 07:13 PM) At least someone admits it. The big difference to me is IU making 3s like crazy and most of them on bad shots. Then Hulls thinks he is actually good at basketball and takes an off-balance catch and shoot 3. Yeah right. Either way, invaluable experience for this IU team. They haven't had a big game in a long time. It's no worse than what an average team gets at home, but yeah i figured I'd jump the gun and say it.

For once Vitale is right...Zeller needs the ball.

BASKETBALLS DON'T BOUNCE LIKE THAT!!

Yeah, so these refs have been moderately one-sided. I don't care.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 06:30 PM) It's hard to get good value when your superstar demands a trade. Then the last thing you should do is take on a big contract coming back.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 06:17 PM) The restructured deal leaves Odom as a chip for Dwight. Not that a rebuilding Orlando team would want him, but he could be useful in a three team deal. I can't figure out how any of this setup would be a good deal for Orlando.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 05:44 PM) How did buehrle burn a bridge? Drove over it with that truck of his and the thing just ignited. Not sure exactly how, but that's how it happened.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) 3 years? No. Going from 60 innings to 200 innings in 2 seasons is a roll of the dice at best.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) So you would not do it? If I'm convinced he's going to be a starter, sure. But we dropped him down to 60 innings last year, which means he's got 2-3 years of building up his arm again.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) Split the difference between 14 and 25, say 20. And if he winds up back in the bullpen or hurt, that's a huge write-off cost.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 04:20 PM) You're against signing him for the next five years? To do so would be a much higher cost, maybe $25 million, and we're not even convinced he can be a starter since we put him in the big leagues to try to save Ozzie's job.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) It wasn't sensible for Moore to sign his deal either. Yeah it was, he guarantees himself $14 million even if he gets hurt, it would have taken him 5 years to get that kind of money. The time to do that with Sale was last year, but we insisted that he needed to go into the bullpen.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) who will win?! America.

So, it's Mitt vs. another Non-Mitt in a Repub. debate tonight.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) Judging from his comments, Chauncey's almost undoubtedly going to the Heat. He wants no part of being claimed and he's letting it be known. I don't know if it's the lockout, the stars still teaming up, or the heat being loaded, but i'm about 1/3 as excited right now about the NBA as I was last year. Last year was just anger, this move last year would have pissed me off. Now I'm just meh.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2011 -> 11:23 AM) Buehrle hasn't hit 93 in 5 years at least. Pitch FX has him getting up to 92-93 once in 2009 and a couple times in 2007. You can decide yourself whehter that is simply the effect of the margin of error on the radar gun.
