QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 19, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) For people who like to watch track meets posing as a basketball game, the Mizzou/Clemson game is for you. Yes. Mizzou is playing really well. They have 11 steals, the press is really bothering Clemson. Of course, the ACC Tigers are 8/13 from 3, but I think that's a good sign for my Big 12 Tigers that it's tied despite that.

In old news, Kramer is a douche.

2010 FutureSox Preview: Relievers Our season preview is finished with starting pitchers so we move on to the pitchers that try to hold their leads. The White Sox have a deep group of talented relievers and a few have a chance to pitch in the Majors this year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 19, 2010 -> 08:56 AM) This was written by the guy who does color commentary for me when we broadcast high school basketball together. He is also the Sports Editor at our local paper, and he pretty much hits it right on the head. AKA Parky hits it out of the park. I love the first weekend of the NCAA's. http://www.thenewsdispatch.com/articles/20...2f405229594.txt That was an excellent story. The first part of it really speaks to me haha.

Two things: We have 11 teams. Gonna have to fix that. My keepers: Ellsbury Fielder Gallardo Hanson Debating between Danks, Bay, Porcello, Rivera for last keeper. Up for trade.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 18, 2010 -> 05:31 PM) Instant win. http://www.gusjohnsongetsbuckets.com/ Thank you.Thank you.Thank you. That's going to be played to death.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 18, 2010 -> 11:19 PM) Texas/Wake are setting back basketball back a decade. As expected, I guess. LOL perfectly said. Typical for Texas, that team has been garbage for a while now.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 07:09 PM) Wait, so Viciedo sports an OPS barely over .700 at AA last year and they're going to start him at AAA this year? Makes perfect sense. For the most part, he showed month-by-month improvemen, the jump from AA to AAA isn't that big and he's a supposed power hitter that goes from the biggest pitchers' park in the system to the biggest hitters' park in the system.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 08:31 AM) I haven't been watching the TV version much since there's a better option, but has anyone else felt this year like ESPN.com is putting out quite a bit more quality articles on the non-Boston/NY teams than they have in years past? I've noticed it a bit too. I think they got tired of the Eastern Seaboard Programming Network image. Sportscenter in LA and starting these city centered Web sites (and making Chicago the first one) are signs that they wanted to shed that image. They're doing a decent job of following through on it too.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 09:49 AM) This has all of the looks of a couple of years ago with the upsets being few, and the seed being very top heavy. once you get past the top teams, it is a clusterf***. Interesting you say that because all season long I've been thinking it's going to be one of those years with complete chaos. Kansas is the only top seed I don't think is beatable and they have a tough region.

I have to say Apple is growing on me. I hated them when we had Macs in school. I hated them when my friends had the Powerbooks. I still say those were crap, but the Macbooks are good and getting better. From a quality perspective, I've had several issues with my Macbook Pro. I have had the keyboard, power cord, one of the fans and the light for the monitor replaced under the warranty, I had to buy a new battery and I had to reinstall the OS twice because so many things stopped working right. Given all the problems I've had that I never had with my old Dell, OSX is really growing on me. Most of my original complaint was with the lack of software that worked with OSX and the constant spinning wheel of death I saw my friends have. Both problems are much improved in the last few years and I'm not sure what my next computer will be. Snow Leopard is really nice and a lot more software (everything but games it seems) is making a Mac version. I'm not sure what exactly the message is here. I like the Mac more than I thought I would (I had to get it for school), but I've had a lot of problems.

Thank you. That is exactly what I wanted to know.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff picked up their first out of conference win in the NCAA tournament. Awesome. I saw them in person this year so I'm on the bandwagon, shock the Dukies! Haha.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 11:23 PM) That W&M v UNC game was awesome. The ending to the Jacksonville-Arizona State game was better. JU was down 5 with 20 seconds to go and came back to win on a bank shot 3 with 2 seconds left.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 10:12 AM) lol just should do away with anthems before games I wouldn't mind that frankly, but it's not worth pissing the people off that actually like hearing the anthem before every game ever. QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) At Orioles home games, on the line "O say does that..." the crowd yells "O!" for the first syllable, I don't think that's disrespectful either but people from Boston and New York do... I wonder why A lot of teams have something like this. The Chiefs have the 'home of the chiefs' at the end of the anthem and the fans go nuts.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) So if he is starting rehab that quickly, it must mean the tear ended up being the lesser of the two evils, I take it? Yes, that does sound like it was on the lower end of the scale in terms of starting rehab. I would like to know why rehab is expected to take 4+ months though.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 11:10 AM) he didnt impress me last night at all. i sat right behind the plate with the scouts and his location was terrible and he looked lost. hopefully it was just an off night I got the same impression. His location was poor.

2010 FutureSox Preview: Right-handed starters, low minors In the last post in this series we talked about the right-handed starting pitchers that were close to making the Majors. In this post, we take a look at the pitchers where 'projection' and 'raw' are the buzz words. We preview the 2010 campaigns for a pair of 2009 draft picks, a couple former high school picks struggling to make their mark and a more polished sleeper prospect.

De Aza has looked pretty good. I think I want him on the roster.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) I have Kentucky losing to Texas in the second round. I'm surprised to see this from a Big 12 fan. I feel like this 'what if Texas flicks on the switch?' argument is nullified by the fact that there is no switch to flick on. They haven't played a single good game since conference play started.

The thing is scheduling harder teams doesn't make you a better team. Illinois has lost to a few teams that would fit in the category of bad losses and if they played a full schedule of bad teams they would have lost a few more.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 09:45 PM) Kansas,Cuse,West Virginia,Duke Kansas vs WVU West Virginia national champs This but Kansas winning.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) Got it. No more talking about college basketball because I don't care about Illinois' performance in the NIT? That doesn't make any sense. Ugh, that's not what I said at all. Every post for the last 3 hours has been b****ing about Illinois getting robbed (which they didn't) and then you turned to s***ting on the NIT. That's fine, but it's repetitive and whiny.

MIZ. The year is already a success getting to the tournament after losing 3 starters and their best 2 players. Let's win a game for gravy.
