QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 06:38 PM) Then do away with conference tournaments. But for so long all conference champs made the tournament. Now they want to have extra games and the NCAA wants to punish the worst teams just so they can find away to add one more team that probably doesnt deserve it. One team did what they had to do to make it and the other didnt. Honestly I am pretty Bobby Knight on the conference tourneys.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 03:36 AM) I'm guessing a deal for Teahen would look something like the Milton Bradley for Carlos Silva deal did last year...

Wow is this team clicking right now. That is an asswhoopin of a pretty hot and really good San Jose team.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) Boston's really slumping. Stupid Milwaukee...why did you have to lose to them by 30? Because they suck... Just like every other non-Chicago team in the Central.

Its funny how Morel went from being a HATED pick, to being annointed as the starter as quickly as he did. At best people would say he was a massive stretch for where he was picked.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 04:57 PM) I think if you win your conference then youre in the tournament. They did what they were asked to do to make the field of 64. The play-in games should consist of the lowest at-large bids. You prove more in 30 games than you do in 4. Conference tourneys are a terrible way to rate teams as better than an entire body of a season.

QUOTE (Felix @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) And this is somehow Love's fault? I'm sorry, but when you put up 31 points and 21 rebounds and lose by one point, it's not your fault that your team didn't get the W. The same can be said about plenty of those 53 games. It always seemed like Jordan's biggest point games early in his career were losses. Once he became a better team player, and had better teammates, that was when the Bulls started rolling.

Good lord is this Zombie day at Soxtalk? I see posters returning from the dead.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) I really don't worry about pitching results in Spring Training. The key today is that Jake threw 67 pitches and has velocity. Yep. That is all that matters right now.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) Another real cool piece of soxtalk history is that I am offically part of 1000 post CLUB!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 03:57 PM) Possibly. If you had a high pressure water line that ruptured underground, it might do the same thing on video. I'd guess you're right, but I can't say for certain. The part about it being reclaimed land from Tokyo Bay is what really cinched it for me.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) I think we all know Indiana will allow pretty much anything to take business away from Illinois.

So is there liquefaction actually taking place in this video? Listening to the discription of it, and then seeing what was happening, that's what it sounds like to me. Also watching the cracks open and close was just wild. http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/wo....quake.cnn.html

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 02:54 PM) There's zero case where you guys will accept the existence of any sort of governmental responsibility for anything. That's what I take from this case.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) If you buy a doll for your kid, and it's laced with lead paint, is it your responsibility as the purchaser to have tested it or is it the manufacturer's responsibility? Especially if the specs for the item say "Does not contain lead paint"? Because the government has an agency that deals with those kind of things, the answer is yes. If our tax dollars are going to it, then they have the responsibility for it.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 02:18 PM) They essentially are. They get in as two 12 seeds though. Then the winner plays the 5 seed. Yeah, but those are just the lowest picked teams, why not the worst four overall? I would say a team that earned a birth based on a whole season, versus just winning three or four straight games at end of a season deserves it more.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) The 16th seeds are in the East My point is why aren't the four lowest seeded teams playing each other for the extra game? That doesn't make any sense to me.

So why are the 16th seeds not the ones playing the play in games? Why should the 11 and 12 seeds have to do so?

YOu want to run that by me again?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) Forte isn't on SNL anymore. And while I have been a pretty big fan of Lonely Island stuff, Samberg's representation of Dick Vitale was probably the most annoying thing I have ever seen on TV. There have been certain skits over the past couple years that I have enjoyed, but they are few and far in between, and there's no way I'm going to wade through an hour of bulls*** to find a single gold nugget. Welcome to about the last 20 years of SNL.
