QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 03:07 PM) update please? score? inning? who's on the hill? thx 13-9 Sox heading to the bottom of the 9th.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:01 PM) If he proved he can compete at the major league level, why the eff would you pull him with an 8 run lead? Because he had absolutely nothing today and no one is saying you pull him with an 8 run lead. But whe that lead gets cut to 5 and then 4 you probably want to pull him.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) Was AJP's deep fly out close to going out? No

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:55 PM) What did the pitch that hit Thome look like? Was there intention behind it? Cuz if it was, I would love to see Shelton get drilled back. Fastball that got away from Seay. Sure didn't look intentional especially being ahead in teh count.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) score now? 10-5 White Sox

4-1 Sox as Monroe goes yard

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 01:24 PM) What did Anderson do to get the 3rd out? Ground out

4-0 Sox on a sac fly from Crede.

Thank you Carlos Guillen. Bases loaded for Crede

3-0 White Sox. Base hit through the middle by PK.

Thome is god. Unreal

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 11, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) He's a better all around player than Horner would ever dream of being. What exactly about Freeman makes him an all around player right now? He plays decent defense but was non existant on offense. His shooting was bad and his assist to turnover ratio sucked. That is not an all around player. He may end up good but he isn't right now.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 11, 2006 -> 06:42 PM) Thompson is a decent bench player, but this isn't anything like ISU losing Haluska to Iowa or anything. As for Carlton Reed.....he's not any good and Freeman is damn good. He better go to a mid major if he wants minutes, that's not any sort of loss for Iowa. Tony Freeman is not damn good.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) hes a good player but i just hate him no reason He's a very good player and I enjoy watching play. As long as there are no closeups of his face.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) There a chat going on? Chat

QUOTE(SuperSteve @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 03:44 PM) but I have also heard so many girls say they were raped when they weren't (not involving me haha). And this is based on?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) ^^^Exactly my reaction.

Worst Tournament Ever

I don't think Dee should have won it but this year was an incredibly weak year for PGs around the country. Here were the finalists for the award Finalists. Not exactly a stellar group.

Hopefully ESPN 2 will be back on in Champaign by the time the game restarts.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) You don't think Monday's game will be competitive? That's what I mean when I say it's gonna be a good one. Gotcha. I'm just referring to the fact that there have been several competitive games in this tourney that would hardly qualify as quality basketball games IMO such as Texas/LSU and Memphis/UCLA. There just seems to be very few games in this tourney where both teams played good basketball. That also was indicative of college basketball in general this year so it's not surprising.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) We're in for a good one Monday. Maybe, but based on the quality of play thus far in the tourney I need to see it to believe it.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 18, 2006 -> 11:25 PM) We must have been watching a different game then, because I didn't see much of that in the second half. Brown, McBride, and Smith has more shots than the rest of the team combined, so that doesn't really suggest that they were taking it to the hole. When they did get inside, there generally wasn't anyone on Washington on them so they made the basket. They weren't initiating contact on the drives like Washington was. There were some crap calls on the perimeter, but most of the ones I saw were in the first half. Pretty much every foul on Illinois in the second half occurred in the paint. You can't really say that guys sitting on the bench had a major affect. Augustine still played 37 minutes and McBride was in there for 31. That's actually more than they average on the year. Randle played only slightly less than usual. The only major one was Pruitt. Rich's fouls in the second half guarding Roy were on the perimeter. Jamar's fouls in the second half were on the perimeter. And yes I can say the guys sitting on the bench had a major affect. Its not how many minutes but when you play. And when you have 3 starters on the bench with 4 fouls with under 10 minutes left in a tourney game and have to have Warren Carter and Chester Frazier on the floor at the same time as a result that has a major impact on the game. And as for Jamar, Rich, and Dee taking the majority of the shots, that is true. But the majority of Dee's shots were going towards the basket today and Rich drove the ball quite a bit as well. And you are still ignoring the fact that Jones was allowed to make contact with Dee constantly 30 feet away from the basket which makes initiating an offense much harder and the fact that Brockman was getting away with all sorts of contact in the paint. And we had 18 more points in the paint than Washington so we clearly weren't just sitting on the perimeter.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 18, 2006 -> 10:25 PM) I watched most of the game and while they were calling a lot of BS fouls in the first half, it wasn't that bad in the second. Illinois was constantly throwing the ball around the perimeter and shooting jumpers, while rarely driving into the lane or throwing the ball down low. Washington on the other hand was driving into the paint at every opportunity. It's kind of hard to draw a lot of fouls when you're not driving and initiating contact. This has happened to the Illini a lot IIRC, and I'd bet if you went back and looked at the stats from previous games it happened in most of their close games. You can keep blaming the refs, but Illinois wasn't getting easy shots in the second half and went a long time without scoring. Augustine was a complete non-factor after the 15 minute mark of the second half, which is unexcusable considering what he was doing earlier. I know some of that was foul trouble, but he stilled played for most of that stretch. Our offense attacked the basket quite a bit tonight. Jamar, Rich, Randle, and Dee all drove on several occasions. We also went inside to our bigs a lot more than usual. Usually Illinois does sit on the perimeter so we don't get to the foul line but that wasn't the case tonight until our entire starting lineup was out of the game with foul trouble. What kills me is that Randle and Rich got all their fouls on handchecks away from the basket. Yet, Jones was allowed to hold and grab Dee the entire game, which pushed Dee far away from the basket yet they didn't call him for it once. And I will continue to blame the refs thank you very much. If it wasn't for the refs UW wouldn't have even been in the game. We were getting great looks at the basket until 3 of our starters had to go to the bench with foul trouble. Augie needed more touches but Brockman was allowed to push him off the blocks and they were really making sure Augie wouldn't get the ball. Rich exploited this when we went on our run but unfortunately he got called for a couple of extremely weak fouls when he was actually moving his feet.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 18, 2006 -> 09:26 PM) Well the Mike Davis era is officially over; best of luck in the future. I hate using officiating as a crutch, but good lord. People like to say good teams would prevail from ridonkulous refs, but it shouldn't have to be like that. It should be called straight up and both ways from the beginning. Absolutely disgusting. Indiana didn't look all that horrible, but I'll never believe they got the fair shot. Duke West and Duke will definitely match up in the Final Four if they keep getting these calls. You guys got screwed Greasy. It was apparently f*** the Big 10 in the ass day.
