QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 06:21 PM) Of course ESPN is running with an entirely different version, and have probably tuned out when Gee started talking about the good deeds he has done for the school. And I am sure the version we are being force fed from you is completely unbiased...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 06:03 PM) @DanWetzel Two game suspension, $250,000 fine for Tressel #buckeyes That's a joke.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) Just reporting what Dennis Dodd and the rest of Twitter nation were saying. If it did happen, highly doubtful it would happen tonight. My guess is Tressel gets suspended somehwere down the line. That's a big black eye for Ohio State either way. EDIT: Also, Ken Gordon just took down his tweet say Tressel wasn't getting fired. Weird. Doubt it means anything still. That is an interesting change.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) After LeBron vs Kobe, that'd be the 1 on 1 contest I'd pay to see most. I remember as a kid being in awe of Kevin Johnson's athleticism from the PG spot. Rose and Westbrook dwarf KJ Eh, the problem would be the defending would be awful.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) I was wondering about Infante as well. I don't recall him pitching at all this spring. 2 IP 4 Er 6 hits 2BB 2K http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/sortable_player_s...amp;timeFrame=1

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) 2 questions: i havent heard much about infante so far, i thought he was going to be the last bullpen arm/long reliever. any word on him? and 2, if viciedo is sent to aaa to get regular ab's , is it millege and deaza making the team or just one of them? The bullpen situation is sort of up in the air for two reasons. Number one is Jake Peavy's status. Number two is how many pitchers they break camp with.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) Rumors swirling that Tressel is stepping down. If that is true there is a lot more today's report that it just being a rehash of old information.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 02:27 PM) Is Right field the permanent spot fo Viciedo or are they just experimenting? Hello Carlos Quentin? Your plane is boarding.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 01:36 PM) Hypothetical question: Would the "Big Three" that worked out together all summer long have better results on a team together than the Heat Big Three: D Rose Kevin Love Russell Westbrook I think so, as the team would be better balanced, if you assume really bad supporting casts.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 10:33 AM) When the f*** are they releasing season three of Breaking Bad in the US? You missed it by about three weeks on AMC. They have been rerunning them.

Google is your friend when it comes to Gatlinburg. I know my in-laws have been down there multiple times, and that is how they decided what to do their first couple of times.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 12:47 PM) Gonzo Trib hinted in an article today that the Angels may be looking at Teahen. Even picking up another bad contract of similar proportions would be cool for me.

They really are going to try to work on Teahen at 3rd. He is way more valuable if he can play over there at all. I am interested to see Escobar.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 09:28 AM) Sounds like the Sox are actually being conservative with Mitchell, and plan to start him in Kanny. I approve. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,5257600.story It is much easier to move a guy up, versus down.

If Flowers can take a step back to where he was a year ago, this becomes a real strength for us. There is some real potential at the lower levels.

Grady Sizemore is their Carlos Quentin. Everyone knows what is under the surface, its just a matter of getting to it.

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 06:03 AM) Buried in the article . . . I'm wondering what the goal is and why that goal wouldn't coincide with breaking with the team. The first goal is to not hurt himself.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) Just tell them that if their kid isn't good enough then they should put in extra effort outside of practice and games to improve. You don't complain to teachers that their kid isn't doing well in a class if they aren't studying for it. It happens a lot. Even better is when it happens with discipline. Apparently now it is the teachers fault that your kid doesn't know how to act in a classroom.

So what are the scores actually right now?

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 03:09 PM) OT: Angels put up an 8-spot on Silva. All earned. so who does he fight today?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 11:01 AM) This is actually the reason why they'd want them NOT in the Chicago area. Think of if this way... in the Chicago Metro, you aren't going to create a much larger fan base for the Sox with a minor league team. But in Charlotte, B-Ham, Winston-Salem, etc., where there is no major league team, you have a chance to market to an unaffiliated crowd and grow new Sox fans. They watch TV (ad rev), listen to radio, buy Sox gear, come to Chicago to see games, etc. Basically, you get more bang for your buck out of town, than in it. The real reason to have the team nearby, IMO, is just for ease of travel. Having your AAA team nearby would be helpful in that regard, calling up players last-minute. But really, flights from Charlotte are plenty and short, so its not a big deal. That's a good point, as I hadn't thought of it in that context at all. You could go see the cheaper White Sox instead.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) Cowley touting Jordan Danks on the Score right now. Says he's looked really good so far this spring. Heheheh. Usually if I have a radio on during Middays it is to the Danny Mac show. I had to turn it off as it was so awful. MacNeil kept trying to lead Cowley into a decent conversation, but he couldn't take a clue. It was horrible. Even a part talking about his bestest buddy in the whole wide world, AJ, came off as awkward and confusing.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) Ive driven past that Gary Railcats (I think that's the team) countless times and was always intrigued by it, is it actually a nice place to watch a game? It is a great place to see a game. It has a nice layout, great parking, and is very kid friendly.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 07:34 AM) Butler plays for a bid tommorrow and still has an outside chance for an at-large bid. And they kind of had a decent season last year too. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) Valpo got eliminated last night. Doh, and Doh. I am sad the Crusaders are out. I always love seeing them in the national spotlight.
