Holy f***ing s***!!! I never thought of that. Wow, that would be a huge benefit for Ozzie. I heard Cito has a good relationship with players too, who could he help us get?

I think everyone has done that. Some posts are just so long that we skim.

It was funny cause I was laughing my ass of when they got Randall 'I like to beat sausage" Simon. WTF, they we suppose to do nothing.

NIU has won every game. I don't see how you can bash them. Name 1 good team that TCU has beaten? Their schedule is definitely easier than NIU's. Navy and South Florida are the only winning teams that TCU has played so far. South Florida lost to Alabama 40-17 by the way and Navy lost to Rutgers 48-27 for crying out loud. If you are going to use strength of schedule as why NIU is overrated, then TCU is more overrated. I was just f***ing round with TCU. I don't care about any midconference teams which don't have any effect on me. I think both are overrated. TCU is not the 17th, soon to be higher, team in the counrty, nor is NIU 18th, soon to be higher. TCU should be ranked more 25th, and NIU should be around 25th aswell. I am not trying to say they suck, there is no way anyone, including myself, can compare them to any of the BCS teams.

Yeah, there is a million other things ya could have asked too.

Fact: Who is going to take on $14 million for Magglio. Fact: Yanks will beat out Red Sox for Bartolo's services. Fiction: Reed will come up a month into the season, he has to beat Willie and Aaron to start, and one of them to be on bench. I am not sure if he is ready. If he has a good spring training, he'll be our starter (assuming Carl isn't at CF). Fact: Seems Ozzie is main person ta hear about now. Fact: JM will be somewhere, look at O'Leary and the Vikings. Someone won't be able to resist. Fiction: I think Borchard has one more year being considered a prospect. Fact: We won't get Castillo, and we have no better options. Fiction: We will be the best team on paper, but they will rip our hearts out again. I hope I am wrong.

Bama and Maryland eh. A 3-4 Alabama teams scares me so much. Maryland is okay, but that WEAK ACC doesn't prove a thing. Clemson is really Maryland's only win over a tough team, sorry I don't consider the Citadel a tough team. NIU isn't even the best undefeated non-BCS team, that great? honor goes to Texas Christian University. We'll see when Michigan gets beaten by State this year. Ya guys got lucky to beat Minnesota. Don't even bring up ISU. That is an awful joke. Illinois State is 3-4 in the Gateway Conference. Maybe they should play NIU for the Division I-A National Championship.

Better than nothing. We wouldn't have to have a sock. Ya ever wonder why the Rockies have a dinosaur? How about some of the other mascots that make no sense.

:fyou Beane.

What a comment. I tried to not watch, I just couldn't. I usually lose interest in the game when the Cubs are winning.

Either Guardado or Hawkins is basically guarenteed to leave. Hawkins will have a ton of interest. I think the Twins will keep Guardado.

Here's one I have always wondered. Why the hell don't we have a mascot?

Are you saying they were high? No, that's only the A's. Atleast they weren't gettinh haircuts like their fellow New York team. Somebody help me out here, but haven't the BoSox been doing that? Isn't it some kind of luck thing or superstition with them? I meant during the game, ie Ray Sanchez. The BoSox have alot of guys with shaved heads now. They also got that 'Cowboy Up" slogan or whatever it is.

When ya pay a guy tons of money, ya need him to step up. Konerko, Koch, Magglio (to a point, that's alot of money), and some of the other guys need to show why they got those contracts.

...a pirate's life for me.

Isn't Kerry Wood a FA or something like that. Wouldn't that kick the Cubs in the balls?

Yeah, that's because they pickup the wrong guys. If we did it smartly, I wouldn't be worried, but we wouldn't do it smartly.

I have been in a ballpark full of Cubs fans, and I have been in a ballpark decently filled with Yankees fans, that would be bloody awful.

I can't see us competing with the likes of the Yankees and Red Sox to keep him. Good bye to the tub of goo.

The trades where fine in with the league, as they should have been. Ya guys say Pittsburgh should be contracted, that won't happen. PNC Ballpark won't allow it to happen. By the way, ya guys forget they traded their best player (Giles) and have been trying to get rid of Kendall aswell.

Nominees for Best Team have to win there individual sports championship first I was going off what he said. "If Cubs go all the way this year." Meaning from that, I would bet they would be best team. :banghead

Maybe, but they will win the ESPY for best team. :fthecubs

Nice.

State Basketball!!!
