QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 01:43 AM) IIRC Spring training was a disaster, then when he finally took over for Billy, he was lights out for a couple months before fading a bit at the end. As teams develop a better priofile on him, he will not be sneaking up on hitters like he did last year. I do not see him repeating last year's success. He is also going to be asked to closer out of the gate this year. The MLB season is longer than Japan's season. Let's hope he's up to a full MLB season of closing. Lots of question marks. He has the talent to work through it all, so we'll just have to hope. Pretty much if Shingo didn't have a guaranteed contract, he never would have made the team out of spring training. And his first outing against the Yankees in New York wasn't much better. But he was fantastic after that.

Election Results are in;

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 01:35 AM) deaD Time for some Coffee perhaps Tex?

Andrew Bogut dropped down 33 points from 8-14, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks in a 64-50 over Colorado State. How long until Utah goes top 10?

A good read here, from Carlos Lee's favorite writer;

I think Alex (heads) has said, we'll be having seperate game threads, and then we'll be chuckin em all into one forum, so everyone can read each game thread etc.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) So is this the beginning of a rebuilding period for the TWolves? Not really. McHale pretty much has to get this team to make the playoffs othawise Glen Taylor is going to can his ass too. If they miss out however, and start rebuilding, the Bulls could seriously have a long look at Garnett.

QUOTE(Mr. X @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) wonder where he will end up Stephon Marbury wants him in New York ASAP. I'd say he's most likely headed there, although I think if the Lakers went after him also, he could possibly go there. I'm hopeful the Magic could get him, but I think Eric Musselman is still more likely.

I got the game a few months ago, definitely recommend it. The Recruiting Part is easily the best part of the game without a doubt.

Well some people like having everything in 1 thread, but others like going around and checking all different threads, so maybe we could do both, like we've done with the rumors thread this off-season.

The Jets have been rumored to hav offered Minny, Abraham and their 1st round pick for Moss. Can you imagine Minny's D-Line if they make this move, Udeze, Abraham and Williams. Plus they can draft a nose tackle DT to replace Hovan as well, and keep upgtading their secondary and LB's.

Allen Iverson scores 60 points against the Magic and makes 24 out of 27 Free Throws.

QUOTE(silver and black @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) tired... ruined my thread, you whore... Just calm down Minny, the dude's only asking a question.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) so you've dressed up as chewie before, huh? No....... but you can always make those funny wookie noises to improvise I guess.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 04:09 AM) Having high picks certainly increases your margin for error however. But you are correct, that great players come from all over the draft and many players develop later and/or work harder than others. And there would have definitely been a great success rate for higher draft picks over the last few years, than when the draft first started.

What about a special guest appearance by Mark Hammill in a production of Guys and Dolls! "Luke, be a Jedi tonight!" "Do it for Yoda, while we serve our guests a soda!"

If you're dressed like Chewie....... fun. Othawise, nerd.

If John Weisbrod is smart, he's on the phone to him right now. I'm sick of this no defense, and no Dwight Howard in the 4th quarter coaching under Johnny Davis.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 03:10 AM) If he passed two breathalyzers, how could he be charged with DUI? That doesn't make any sense. Someone from Milwaulkee must have put a curse on him or something.

So what, he's got an excuse for sucking it up in Safeco for the next 4 years now huh?

Indy vs. Minny should be a good affair, and Illini should have the goods over Wisconsin. Anyone know when Utah's next game is? I'm on Bogut Watch. (And someone get a pic of Greasy)
