Hawks ask Caps about No.1 pick
IlliniKrush replied to EvilJester99's topic in Alex’s Olde Tyme Sports Pub
Ovechkin is almost as much of a guaranteed superstar as their has been in the draft in years (except next year in Crosby). If the Hawks somehow snab the pick, i'll have an Ovechkin jersey within a week. This would be a HUGE step in turning the franchise around. Problem is, it's probly a pipe dream. Plus even if Tallon wants to do it, it has to go through Wirtzy. In a two person draft, you will have to pay a huge price to get in the top 2 picks, i think. -

Brief summary as they talk: Says they've treated him "pretty fair" in terms of the bonus he received He is going to pay his parents house off with his money They are joking about buying some "bling" with his money He has hit with a wood bat before...once he starts playing he's going to experiment with different bats and hopefully find one that suits him well...says the adjustment from metal to wood is pretty significant because you can't just swing as hard as possible anymore with metal, hoping for home runs Football...asked how closely he has monitored other 2 sport athletes and their paths...Fields says he has looked at them, but they are not him...he could fall back on football but it's "not even in his head" and wants to "give baseball his best shot" If he fails to succeed he'll just "keep on trying" He doesn't have the prototypical QB body, he says. He's 6'2" and not 6'5". Some people tried to turn him into a free safety out of high school. His first love was baseball, his dad was a baseball coach. Football started in 7th grade. He played basketball through sophomore year of HS. His mom is a bball coach. How big of a fan are you of the game? Bernstein is disappointed in young players' recognition of baseball history, etc. Fields says he is a fan of the game, he has been watching SC since he was a kid, grew up around athletics, always wanted to play professionally, he's very passionate about it. He grew up rooting for ventura, incavaglia, and rooted for their pro teams. Sox, texas, said some st. louis because they are close. How is your glove? Fields says he was .949%. He says he is not a speedster. Says he is good at blocking the ball at third base, jumps in front of a lot of things. He doesn't mind being hit (part of what came out in football) How is your arm strength? It should be up, it's an "ok arm you could say", he doesn't throw extremely hard but usually gets the guys out at first base. Boers warns him about getting to Winston-Salem, they congratulate him, that's about it ********************** I typed that as they spoke, sorry if some of this doesn't make sense. Hope this helps for those of you who couldn't listen.

He's on right now.

Yankees "real close" to acquiring Freddy Garcia
IlliniKrush replied to redandwhite's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Wow, he's way way way way better than a 4th...i don't think he's a righthanded Schoe PS Queen Prawn did you see the Hurricanes traded Arturs Irbe last night? -
Bernstein just said Josh Fields will be joining them soon on the Score 670, for those who want to listen.

Lane will play RF, everyone wants to see him there except Jimy Williams. -
Ya, the Arnold stuff has been rumored for a few days (and even last month), good to see it happened. I don't consider the Powell stuff news. We all knew he wasn't going to go to the draft in the first place, he was just doing it to get his name out there for next year.

I for one am getting fed up with Terry Boers
IlliniKrush replied to WSoxShuf's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I haven't found anything terribly wrong with his comments today -
He didn't kill the kid like people want to think, but diving over the seat is a bit drastic. And then he showed off the fact that he got the ball, i don't think that helped. I heard last night that the guy has had a change of heart, and is giving the kid the baseball along with an undisclosed amount of Texas season tickets to see more games this year. Now they should really lay off the guy.

Peter Gammons predicted this would happen last night on BBTN. Nice timing Peter. -
I'm looking to get a flat panel monitor for my PC. I think it'd be nice to have because it would take up a lot less room on my desk at school, and i hear the picture is much more clear, etc. For those of you who have them...is it worth it to get one? If so, any recommendations on brand or size? Any help is appreciated.

Sox' Guillen leading Cubs' Baker
IlliniKrush replied to greasywheels121's topic in Alex’s Olde Tyme Sports Pub
I took a shot at both this weekend...they are both pretty good. Southsider is a bit better, all bias aside, but i thought they were worth the 2.99 for sure. -

Ah, good old Les Grobstein. Loved the show..listened to him before bed during high school. "And or that, you suck" on fridays, that was sweet. Life was good. Too bad he used the All-Star passes at Safeco But yeah his stance on the Caray thing is off.
