Georgetown fires their head coach http://sports-att.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=1761419

I think they mean red and white

They have to write about something to keep their cush jobs

Yeah, it is hard to posture, without any backbone.

Our government is incredibly wasteful. Estimates are that 10-12% of tax money is wasted, vs what the private sector could accomplish with the same money. Trust me, the way it is now (gov regulation, private mgmt) while not perfect, is way better than creating another crappy buearocracy to manage it.

Don't forget about the Kurds in the chemical attacks...

OK my picks are in. This was a rough year. The top teams aren't that clear, and the mid-majors aren't as convincing as years past. But it ought to make for a great tourney.

So did they dye the bluegrass, green in KY?

From MSNBC.com, something to think about while you are drinking tonight, Guinness bubbles really do sink. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4541606/

Honestly I think with the success of Reed, Sweeney, and Anderson that Borch is becoming more replacible than Rauch. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a deal somewhere.

It will be interesting to see how this kid responds. It looks like he will be the 25th man on the roster and finally get the chance he has been waiting 11 years for. Now what does he do with it???

I don't think a deal could be done with the O's. They don't have the young pitching that we would be looking for in a deal for Maggs. I don't think they are worried about RF because they think someone will step in, and soon enough one of the plethora of OF's we have will replace Ordonez as a superstar. They might also look at middle IF prospects in a deal, but I real suspect they are going the future star SP route.

To celebrate, all posts in this thread must be green

DBAH0, are you guys in a time warp down there???

Usually the worst you can do is 4th, but with Charlotte's expansion team getting the 4th pick this year, I wonder if they will only let you fall to 3rd or if they will let you drop to 5th. Either way this is a thin and young draft this year.

It was THE difference. It is sad when a countries politics cave in to terrorism.

Oh I am sure the Donkey Raping is Bush's fault, somehow...

SO the guy went to the city with the most cameras of anywhere in the world, Las Vegas. He has been arrested. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4536074/

LET THE HYPE BEGIN!!!! (who gets to be first to say that Sweeney will never amount to anything?)

Done.

This just in.... The Bulls quit in October. f*** them :fyou

Lots of teams do this. If they really think the guy will pay dividends down the road, hiding the guy on the roster for a year is worth it. You could be getting a huge prospect for nothing. No trade, no draft pick, just $50,000, which is way cheaper than anything else a team can do.

Majewski had a terrible spring. He needed to go to the minor league camp and get his confidence back. Did Josh Stewart get much work? Is he fully healthy again?
