QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) Reds, Rays, Braves, Red Sox, Blue Jays. So 4 out of 30. Yeah that is pretty much my point.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) Mark Kotsay was our DH last year. The end. Mark Kotsay was in our pen?

How many teams really have 6 or 7 major league ready pitchers for their starting rotation? There is a reason pitchers are in the minors. If they were good enough to be a solid starter at the major league level, they would be on a roster somewhere.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 08:37 AM) All sites in the country are performing INPO-guided comprehensive reviews of their emergency plans, and they're doing it on a very short timeline. Yeah this is the wrong time to be caught with your pants down. I imagine we will see plenty of reaction, and over-reactions, in the United States over nuclear power.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) That's silly. That was absurd, wanted to throw something at my tv, thankfully the Bruins held on. They're a very talented team but god damn they're dumb at times. Also, good win for the Badgers. Belmont wasn't outclassed but Wiscy made their shots and were certainly the better basketball team. It is torture to watch teams that don't understand the game of basketball at all. I had to turn it off.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) 14 I believe. But ya, we got it for a while. I thought they said 14 more, but either way, yes it is a long time coming.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) Tressel suspended for the first 5 games now. I guess today is a good day to come out with it and let it be overlooked. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6230308 The Friday news dump multiplier effect.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) Having the option to watch every game is so awesome. I really hope this becomes the norm in the future. It is supposed to be a 15 year deal.

QUOTE (Felix @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 08:30 AM) Congrats! He did something that Kevin Love has done (at the very least) 34 times this season. Get his name posted in this thread?

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 05:36 PM) I'm only going by what Ozzie said regarding the end of the spring training. He said it would be the regular lineup and using the pitchers (to an extent) the way he would in the regular season. Whether they win those games obviously doesn't matter. But I think the effort will be there, and I think Ozzie will demand that effort even though they are spring training games. It is going to be a different mentality because of the money Jerry put into this team. If they start slow and attendance falls apart, they are screwed. The sell off of parts will happen very quickly this year if things don't work.

I picked Princeton in that game thinking that if they could hold Kentucky under 60, they would win. Damn.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 11:05 AM) Do you disagree? (Anyway...on principle, I simply reject the concept of a "Humanitarian war" in all but the most extreme cases. The only case in the last 25 years I think genuinely would qualify is Rwanda, and really, the scope of that wasn't understood until most of the damage had been done. You go into Libya with guns blazing, you kill plenty of people anyway.). Honestly I feel that if you aren't willing to save people's lives in desperate situations, the argument for social entitlement programs loses all of its muster. Protecting people from genocide should come before my unemployment check.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) Why does that make him a dbag? Ask his teammates who lost their runner up trophy.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) I had Louisville in the championship game. is there anything worse than having your brackets destroyed in exactly one game?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 11:09 AM) I think if he'd gone anywhere, we'd still have sat there and said "The Decision" was pretty f***ing obnoxious. Trust me, there are things I don't like about players on all of my favorite teams. I still think Derrick Rose is a Dbag for having his brother take his SATs.

Great, so get off of f***ing twitter and explain it like an intelligent adult, because both of them sound completely ignorant.

Just don't make anymore posts then.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 11:16 AM) The wrong party? Seems to me Brian Anderson went out pretty much every single night. Ozzie's been around the game for 30 years. He knows guys party. He's not going to call someone out and dislike someone based on their lifestyle if they went to the wrong party. The big difference is that someone like Omar puts in the work needed. It is one thing to not improve and bust your ass doing it. It is another to not improve and find other things to do instead of working on your game.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 02:38 AM) Be glad he didn't ask you to touch his balls. And DO NOT give him your cell phone number.

Hey, I guess that theory isn't perfect.

Funny shows don't!

I'm going out on a limb with Princeton over Kentucky as my upset. If they can play an Ivy League tempo and frustrate the Cats, you could see the big win.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 08:26 AM) One other valid point...the location and length of this rupture probably means that this earthquake has significantly increased stresses on the segment of the subduction zone off of Tokyo. Isn't that pretty much true in any earthquake though? You are moving stresses from one place to another.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 07:43 AM) Ok guys...if you all are so gung ho about military force here... First, where do we get the tens of billions of dollars to pay for it? I know it's fun to pretend that military spending is free, but seriously, stop playing that game. Which do you want to cut to pay for it, the nuclear regulatory commission, the tsunami warning network, or both? Second, where do we get the ground forces to move against Quadaffi's ground forces? The number of examples of air strikes alone failing to change the situation on the ground without ground participation is more than I can count on my hands. If I were in Quadaffi's seat and air strikes began, I'd order my ground forces to do everything they could to level Benghazi, because that's the only way I could fully break the opposition, and because I could just blame the airstrikes. Exactly what happened in Kosovo. Third, who takes responsibility (financially) for rebuilding the country whose defenses we just shattered? Have y'all learned nothing from Iraq and Afghanistan? Fourth...how much blood is it ok to spill in the airstrikes? It is interesting you have come to the conclusion that some peoples lives are worth less than others.
