QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 19, 2007 -> 09:53 AM) Even though there hasnt been many upsets, the games have been absolutely awesome, close, last second shots, overtimes, there is no shortage of excitement and drama. totally. i think it's been an excellent tournament.

Obama ad. i liked it

i'm totally in the Dead Brackets Club now.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 17, 2007 -> 05:47 PM) Except Weaver hated to bunt, and never called for a SB. If he had a player he thought could steal, he would give them a sign saying they had the green light IF they wanted to go. He would only bunt if it was for the winning run, and you are playing for that one run to win. His "Fundamentals" more went back fielding, and making sure all his players knew where they had to be, where to throw it, and how to catch it. The 3 run homer talk wasn't a joke. He wanted a team based on OBP and power. He didn't care if you didn't have any speed at the top of the order, if you could get on in front of guys like Boog Powell, Lee May, Eddie Murry, Don Baylor, you are helping your team alot more than stealing a few bags. well, let's hire Earl Weaver! he'll make Brian Anderson team captain! just messin with you guys

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Mar 10, 2007 -> 11:59 AM) I'd argue that Hollywood is already in ruins because the standards aren't high enough. what, Dukes of Hazzard II wasn't up to your standards?

wow, total choke by illinois

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 08:01 PM) Only because they got the refs in their backpocket seemingly. I've seen 2 crap calls (and non calls) the last few minutes. no, they'll win because they're better

Illini gonna pull off the upset

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 05:22 PM) This is insane. I'm 23 for 23, and Oregon's winning. wow, that is impressive. hope you got that sheet in some money pools.

yes!

he needs his fastball back in the high 90's

Cubs are number 1! WOOOOOOOOO!!

QUOTE(max power @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 05:44 PM) If I were trying out for the sox I would just change my name to McGrinder. Max McGrinder starting in CF

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 05:25 PM) That homeless tool was probably down there about 2 months ago prepping his woo crap. When he shows up at the Cell with his goofy cub pajamas and dumb woo call, hopefully someone wont let him in the park. that loser needs to be banned from US Cellular.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 05:24 PM) from NSBB.com referring to Brooks Boyer pfft, probably some dork posting from his mom's basement in Schaumburg. never even been into the city.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) BOOOOOONE hell yea

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) (honestly, I still wouldnt' be mad seeing him on the bench this year, but not at the expense of Anderson). i guess Ozzie said Anderson will either start on the MLB club, or be in AAA. won't keep him as a bench player.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 04:08 PM) How about one of the oldest? How many teams have three 31+ year old outfielders? (31,33,33) Outside of the Giants of course. here are the ages of the starting OF of our main rivals Cleveland (33,24,33) Minn (35,31,27) Detroit (30,25,38) so, yea, we do have a fairly old OF. but it's not that bad.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 04:08 PM) I see travis hafner and he is good, but he is no Rob Macowiak.

QUOTE(Frank the Tank 35 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) Is someone willing to keep a Soxtalk running count of how many times Hawk uses the word "grinder" during the year? I'd put the over/under at 1,620. haha

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 03:54 PM) KW/Ozzie said he'll only make it if he's a full-time starter. we'll see. i know BA is a favorite on soxtalk, but i think he sucks. i also used to be Crede hater, so my evaluation of BA could be way off.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 03:52 PM) 2 quotes from Oz confirmed what we all know really: "The bottom of the order with Erstad, then Pods healthy will do alot for us." "The defense up the middle with Uribe and Erstad really will help us out." In not exact words, but yeah... i think BA will make the club. probably be a utility guy to start season but i could be wrong

vazquez pitching well
