QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) If any team shoots 2-21 from 3 and 15-51 from 2, they are going to lose. As I said, first team to 70 is the team who likely will win. I'll be surprised if it gets to 70 tonight. I'm thinking something like 65-53 or so.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) As predicted consensus top 40 player Jeremy Hollowell (4 star on rivals, 5 star on scout) picks Indiana. Crean had 12 visitors at the IU/UM football game back in November. He tried to sell them on being a family, playing together, and bringing Indiana basketball back to where it once was... Right now, 11 of those kids have committed, and we are waiting on one more in Gary Harris. Unreal. Is he class of 2012 or 13?

Wisconsin is the Big Tens version of Butler. There isn't a chance that Butler wins tonight. Badgers by a dozen. Butler needs to play a team that makes mistakes and takes chances. That isn't Wisconsin at all.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 08:53 AM) That Goudelocks kid from CoC? Holy s*** does he have range. Like better than Jimmer range. I swear he drained a 35 footer last night. Apparently he's 38th or something like that in the all-time NCAA scoring book. Wonder if he'll get any feelers from the NBA come draft time. Wish I knew about him before his final game. If that kid can play defense like Korver, he should have a long NBA career. He is the best shooter I have seen in the NCAA this year, and that is saying something.

Thanks for that. I like the layout, but not the movement of random things.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 11:32 AM) The Tigers are valued at less than $420M....wow. cubs will be in trouble if the cash flow drops. $532M...that has to be close to $30M a year in debt servicing at a minimum. That is an amazing number for a team that has the oldest stadium in baseball. If they ever need to do capital improvements, they are screwed.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) I thought AJ's greatest value to us was that he's widely regarded as one of the best game-callers in the league? Do we know how Flowers does in calling a game? I feel it's irresponsible to be talking about getting rid of a clubhouse leader that has great rapport with our pitchers. Replacing AJ's intangibles will be much more difficult than looking at batting averages. Not only game callers, but a guy who gets the most out of his pitchers.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 10:22 AM) EYE TEST Let me put it this way. #1 Westbrook isn't even the most valuable player on his own team. #2 Take Rose off of the Bulls, and take Westbrook off of the Thunder, which team crashes more? #3 The Bulls are the #1 team in the East. OKC is 4th. #4 The system the Thunder run is much more friendly to individual stats, versus the system the Bulls run. #5 If stats are the big deal, then we shouldn't talk about either Rose or Westbrook, take it to its logical conclusion, and make someone like Kevin Love MVP, because his stats are awesomeness.

individual statistics are a terrible measure for MVP.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 09:58 AM) Rules might be different overseas, who the f*** knows. I'm pretty sure they are. The NHL got strict about feet positioning , which was why they added the straightlines at the dot.

All of those little things totally fit AJ too, which is what really makes it excellent.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) Solid W last night. HUGE game Sat night!! The Kruger kid didn't look bad. Hopefully he gets a bit more comfortable. He needs to be a serviceable option if the Hawks are going to advance. Someone has to teach him out to take a faceoff in the NHL. How many times did he get kicked out of the dot?

The AJ is great.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 01:05 AM) That was bootyful. I think it was after that performance that I created my "please don't trade Chris Sale" thread. Now it's like, " why the hell did you draft him if he wasn't going to start?" But I digress there. Long as he's on the road to starting this time next year I'm fine. If not, beware of my wrath. It might be more effective if it wasn't like everyday that we heard it...

I'm going with a helping of Humber Pie

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) What is this "will power" people have and where can I buy some? Is that Will Smiths latest CD?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) The interview seemed to go really well. The store manager seemed to really like me, while the GM of the franchise itself was sort of on the fence. The problem I'm faced with at this point is that he (the store manager) made it seem like this was a career choice and not a stepping stone to another job. Most of it is commission based, as you'd expect, but he said the worst anybody in the store made was $45k, and the top person made $80k. My problem isn't with that, but is instead that it is expected that this would be a career choice and I don't really want to live here 5 months from now, let alone 5 years. Perhaps it was idealistic of me to assume that this would be a stepping stone kind of job. I think I would like the job, but I don't know that my heart would be in it knowing that I'd want to leave in 5 months anyways. Don't feel guilty at all. The odds are that they manager is lying to you about how much people made last year.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 06:04 PM) The below thread topics should result in a permaban for the 2011 season: Adam Dunn strikes out too much. Fire Greg Walker. Now that sounds like a great combined topic!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) The amount of street hockey, baseball, kickback, hotdog in gastank we played was insane. I can't imagine not being outside from about 10am until 9pm everyday in the summer between the ages of like 5 and 15. Did you grow up a Cub fan?

And we increased our payroll by how much from 2010 to 2011?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 05:35 PM) Remember this is a surgeon. He has no idea about normal spring training activities and normal soreness. He only sees clients when they have significant problems. I think the conversation between him and Schneider at St went something like this: AR: I hear Peavy is having problems HS: Yeah he's tender over the rotator cuff kind of like everyone else now AR: Everyone gets sore? HS: Yeah none of them really follow the off season workouts like they should but with meds it goes away. AR: Really. Huh. Well let's rest him a few weeks and see how it feels HS: It only takes a few days then he should throw to keep it strong so he can keep progressing. AR: OK let's do that. Thanks for the perspective. Again.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 05:48 PM) Sweet, I believe McCullough was the last "bad" 1st round draft pick that was still in the White Sox minor league system. Let's start anew with Beckham, Mitchell, and Sale. Poreda is making his own case to replace him...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 05:56 PM) Oh this post is excellent. And timely. And most importantly I have dibs.
