I am much more interested in Lohse vs Bonderman, than what the damned Cubs are doing...

By far.

What he said /\ I get the feeling when you start talking about a 275 lb guy who is having foot problems, it isn't going to heal quickly. See also Shaquille O'Neal.

If I had to pick now, I would say UNC is my preseason favorite. I also am surprised IU didn't rate a top 50 mention.

He's good all right, but lets not get silly. We are still talking about a league with ARod and Tejada in it...

My early Christmas presant for the Cubs lockerroom. Obviously they don't have one because no one seems to have looked in one for a long time...

Don't waste my time clicking if you are poor, go watch NASCAR or something

[Moving to Sex, Lies, and Politics...]

Lance wins stage 15 and takes the Yellow Jersey.

Now that's what I am talking about

They are trying to get somemore ringers for the company softball team?

Much better thread Tex!!!

You can bet if the opportunity presents itself that Tony L will have a pitcher throw at one of the Cubs stars. Most likely Sammy or Moistes. The guy is always trying to even the score.

Even that could be enough to really f*** up their season right now. They are in big trouble.

Not at all. Beltran will get his money. No doubt.

I don't think I would offer him anything longer than 2 years. I have no problem being in the $5 million a year range. I think he has more than earned it.

That's good. I will give you that.

Sorry, I honestly had no idea who was closing down there. That's why I asked.

So who is going to step in a close for the Barons? Any chance that Bull could be doing it???

Amen [high fives kap] Texas is a great place to see a game. Very well designed stadium. Too bad they haven't had better crowds down there, because the one time I was there with a full house was a blast.

And just to be clear it isn't even that I think the team is bad or a fluke (they definately aren't as good as they have been playing, but they are respectable now), but that Texas summer just beats up those Ranger teams. It seems like every year they play an awful second half, and that has always been my theory why.

Nevermind, I was thinking of Columbia. Sorry about that...

I can't believe AZ has never hosted an AS game. That is supposed to be a world class facility right? Also I found it interesting that MLB seems to be using the AS game to boost attendance at parks.

Was Mauer this injury prone in the minors??

Tell me if I am wrong here, but isn't Brazil the country where a huge piece of the country is basically particianed off into rebel control? I would call that a war myself, and I can understand the need to do something there.
