QUOTE (IChaseBlackWood @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 08:11 PM) Matt Long released today. Along with CJ Retherford Wasn't Long a pretty high draft pick a few years back?

I know I am lonely on this island, but I would love to see Dunn hit 4th with Rios in front of him, getting protected.

Jeremy Reed would be a great signing and a starter... Maybe in Charlotte.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) What's with the WHITE SOX RESIGN DEXTER CARTER thread? Have the mods disabled it because it's not true or something? Don't believe it... It is a vast right wing conspiracy to destroy the Sox minor league system.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) I wouldn't even say cleaning up, I'd say dominating. Knight didn't even lock down the state like Crean has. Knight was never much of a recruiter. Routinely the top talent went else where, especially as the years got on.

I don't even need to make an MVP argument for Rose right now. Just watch the last five minutes of the game.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 04:51 PM) His career was mediocre and short. He aged quickly. His "prime" was around 5 seasons. Of which were four of Jordans seasons.

I think this would be the right time to NUKE_CLEVELAND

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 04:22 PM) Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, Smits, O'Neal, and Mutombo are the only true 7 footers who were in their prime when Jordan played. Kareem, Sampson, Walton, Malone and Parrish were past their prime (plus Malone was only 6'9"). Mourning was only 6'10", and Eaton was a huge stiff. Ralph Sampson was drafted a year before Jordan.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Radiation is not a fast killer. It is a slow, painful, godawful killer. Not in the levels these guys are getting. They are pretty much at ground zero of a nuclear bomb.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 01:01 PM) http://www.pantagraph.com/news/local/artic...1cc4c002e0.html The tax hike has led to attempts by other states, including Wisconsin, Indiana and New Jersey, to try and poach companies that don't want to stay in the Land of Lincoln. Pat Quinn's tax increases driving out business. I guess he'll just have to raise taxes again to make up for this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 12:17 PM) UK sources are reporting that 5 of the 50 nuclear workers who stayed behind at the plant have died, and another 15 may have received lethal radiation doses. I'm surprised any of them are still alive to be honest.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 11:11 AM) If I can get up there I'll let you know. Maybe we can hook up, have dinner or something. Absolutely.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) G!'s curveball wasn't just described as "plus at times" on his way up. When he was drafted, he was drafted with a legendary curveball. It was described as very inconsistent, which is exactly what it sounds like in this case.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) I'm thinking I just might get up Chicago to see on of those opening series games against the Rays. It depends on the weather forecast first and foremost. I think I am going to try to get to one of that weekends games as the weather forecast comes into focus as well.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) C'mon Yas, sometimes that's a matter of coaching, you know that. Link The pitch description sounds a lot like Gavin Floyd.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 03:23 AM) If they can't justify giving Pujols $30 million, I don't know how they could possibly justify paying Prince $20 million. I think he would be the last person I would want to offer a huge deal to. I agree with this 100%, especially for a long term deal. His deal is going to go down as one of the worst in MLB history. That is my predicition.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) Prince Fielder for $20 million a year and Buerhle for $10 million is probably a quick rebuild if they don't want to pay Pujols $30 million for 10 years. If he signs for $10 million, he'll be back here next year.

It can't be a bad thing...

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 02:43 AM) Shaq was more athletic than Hakeem. Hakeem killed him in the 95 finals and is one of my favorites but Shaq was more athletic imo. Shaq is an absolute freak of nature. The athleticism he had from that frame was absolutely unreal. Hakeems post moves were better though. Dream Shake ftw. Olajuwon was a seven foot tall soccer player who didn't pick up a basketball until he was like 16. Think about for a minute. Can you imagine Shaq spending 90 minutes on the pitch? I know Shaq was a brute force, but Hakeem was truly a freak of nature.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) Not my friend, this was a group. lol. Dumbest comment lately was this dude saying Kobe > Jordan and then attempting to back it up by asking how many legit 7 foot centers Jordan had to drive on. Such an appallingly stupid statement that I didn't know where to start. Another moron paraded in and said "Kobe > Jordan, stats don't lie." lol. I told him I'd spot him three point %, pick any of Kobe's stat anywhere and I'll trump it easily with Jordan's stat. Any one of them. That was one of my all-time favorites.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) I was wondering what happened there. Who the hell does that? Steals the ball while a player is dribbling out the clock during a blowout, even an honest steal? He must have had himself in his fantasy league and needed the steals.

What is the scouting report on the kid?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) If you'd like, I can direct you to some several hundred million year old dirt. Well that is about Flaxx's age, right?

I finally got a job offer!!! Well that only took 23 months. I'll be starting in about three weeks. Yeah!!! Thank God that the stress of the hunt is over!
