Colon has been solid this year. His ERA is higher than expected, but he is an inning eater. You gotta love that in him.

The odd thing was I heard it from ESPN, maybe I was hearing things. It wasn't a full report, it was a sketchy quote on Lance's part that opened the door to thinking that way.

It's great to see Lance win again. I heard he doesn't think he will race next year? Did anybody else hear this?

Yeah, that about describes you guys, lol. I did enjoy the fact that f*** was used as multiple parts of speech, that always a nice touch. Sorry to say I couldn't stand listening to it for more than 3 innings, lol.

I'm usually more conservative. To this day I think the Sox will win 85 games. My preseason pick was 87. I only changed it because 87 might win the division and 85 probably won't. Who knows? At times 85 looks like quite the stretch though. I have faith, these guys usually end up around .500 anyway.

Yeah, I gotta agree with Spiff here. I hate FSU and hope they suck, but I know they won't. They still have tons of talent every year. I don't think they will be a national title contender every year as they once were, but they will still have national title contenders occassionally and they will be a top 20 team every year.

Most people tend to be negative too. See Ian's and roman's posts.

Happy birthday guys!

This is my first time listening too. These guys sound too much like the typical parody of a Chicagoan. Good stuff though.

I wouldn't either because I don't know the mind of Billy Beane, but I wouldn't be surprised if I see a trade of one of those guys.

That's hilarious. I was looking at their games and they got 193 in their last home game. That's just sad. That's beyond sad, that's embarrasing. It's A ball, it's not total crap. Geez, what a shame. Those players have to feel really bad.

The A's can develop pitching, that's something we find hard to do. Beane knows his stuff. If this guy gets going their pitching will almost be too good. A superstar 4th starter isn't that important in the playoffs so I'm guessing if Harden turns into a star one of their pitchers is getting traded for a hitter, but I could be saying crap. Either way they have so much young talent, it's amazing this team hasn't won more than they have.

Haha, Manny Ramirez. That's funny. What's he doing in rookie ball?

Conan O'Brien...he follows Leno on late night....ring a bell?

Yeah, I second that. They are so cool. It's about time a Sox player got his own fanclub at the park.

He was getting total no names until the summer started. I know he's not getting A-B guests, but C guests is an upgrade from what he had. His best connection is athletes. He tends to be able to get them pretty well. I'm not sure why, but being in LA doesn't hurt and working for Fox NFL pre might have helped that. He's had Roy Jones Jr., Mike Vick, Gary Payton, Karl Malone, and Magic Johnson. His show will get better, but I still think it's the funniest one out there. I don't watch a show to see somebody interviewed, that doesn't do anything for me. I want the comedy and that's why I like Kimmel and Conan.

I'm pretty sure he went to Harvard, right?

I used to like Letterman more, but he has changed and is not as funny lately. His bits aren't that great. I'm not a Leno fan. Other than the dog, he has no good bits and is rarely funny. Kilborn used to be horrible, but he has gotten better. I never watch him because he is on when Tom Green, Conan, and Kimmel are on so he is the 4th choice. I only like his 5 questions, and even that is inconsistent. Conan is great, #2 by me. Not so great with the interviews. He says funny stuff as spiff said, but he interrupts his guests in the act. Good bits and monologues. Carson Daly's show blows, period. I just started watching Tom Green. It's a good show, but still only 3rd choice at his timeslot. Kimmel is hilarious. He is my favorite because he is just funny. The show used to suck because he was new to it and he had bad guests, but he has been getting better guests and is becoming a pretty good interviewer.

I used to collect, but I stopped mostly due to lack of $$. I kept wasting all my money on cards. Being a teenager it didn't really matter, but I need money more now. I'll probably start collecting again though. I found baseball to be the hardest to find good cards because there are so many players and only so few that have value. My best baseball cards are Barry Zito and Mark Mulder SP top prospects cards. I still can't believe I got those 2 in the same pack. My best card is an Upper Deck Slam Kenyon Martin Extra Strength 2 (type of insert) rookie card, it's #1 out of 25. I don't know it's value, but I heard that it being #1 doubles it's value. I think it's somewhere in the $150 range then, but I could be way off. I'm thinking about grading it because it's in good shape, then I could raise it's price and sell it. Anyway, I think this thread is more for the off topic board...

All I have to say is Unfortunately nobody else lost (cubs twins royals)

First of all his last name is Wheeler, not Wallace. What big talk was I talking? Did I ever say I thought NU was right in what they did? No. I just said it's funny that you are bashing NU so much when Michigan had their own problems. Both screwed up, regardless of the severeness of the situation. It's just crazy that you are going so hard after me. You can't say that what Michigan did was right because they made their own sanctions. A mistake is a mistake and that's that. And I don't know how you get off comparing NU to the Cubs, that makes totally no sense.

No, he was doing it more than once or twice. It was noticable too, not like he slurred the s.

Tell me how you do Indians, Purdue, and OSU? About NU the workout was not illegal, but I find it completely hilarious that you are talking as a Michigan fan. After all the basketball team is in so much trouble right now. Michigan lost scholarships and postseason play for multiple seasons because of thier screw ups.

Anybody else notice that Hawk sometimes says "He gone!" and sometimes he says "He's gone!" Anybody want to venture a guess as to why he keeps switching it up seemingly randomly?

I know, but when I first saw it I went to scroll up because I didn't think I was at the top of the page, lol.
