QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) I wish I knew how to pick up girls on the rebound when I was 13. I'm almost 30 and I still haven't learned.

I don't have ESPN insider, but it looks like Mel updated his mock draft. Does anyone have an update?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 09:33 AM) since when is pitching depth and Cleveland used in the same sentence??? Their bullpen is atrocious, and their starting rotation is average at best. I dont see it I can't wait to see how hard Millwood is going to get rocked in the AL.

National sports writers always look at big names. When we lose two of our biggest name players and gain no one of national interest, the writers will never think we improved. We've read a lot of this already and it will continue until we start winning.

QUOTE(MartePartay @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) all wierd news stories originate from either germany or florida A little Adam Corolla segment always makes me laugh.

Is it me or do these type of stories always come from Florida?

That brings back some memories.

I think the only thing that could hurt the Cardinals is thier bullpen depth. Although, that is a fairly easy place to upgrade with a midseason trade. I still think they are the favorites.

QUOTE(shakes @ Feb 4, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) I don't think anyone mentioned the obvious "Eight Men Out". I'm an idiot, I 'obviously' didn't read the original e-mail.

I don't think anyone mentioned the obvious "Eight Men Out".

I think Dye is a well established veteran, not a rookie we are developing with a team philosophy. He's going to have some freedom regarding his plate discipline. It's a new team and a new lineup, so this season will dictate his pitches/ab. I'm really getting tired of everyone thinking Billy Beane is a genious because there is a book written about his philosophy. He should be judged on how the A's do moving forward, without the big 3. Who he had no part in drafting.

I hope he goes to Detroit. He wanted big money, now hew can get it. Enjoy living in Detroit and living in the cellar.

I can't wait until Millwood posta a 5+ era in the AL. I'm tired of hearing about this being a good signing. Just like the rest of them, they're never the same once they leave Mazzone.

I didn't expect the sox to be on the list, but I don't think the Red Sox or Angels improved. How can you lose Pedro and your best starting postseaon pitcher and improve. Especially, when you replace them with a .500 pitcher, an injured pitcher, and an over the hill arm. The east coast bias will never end. It's why I can't ever watch baseball tonight.

I don't think it'll catch on , but Tad-Pole is great.

I could see the first Hawks home game recap: Hawks lose 2-1. Tonights paid attendance is 11.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jan 18, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) Mel knows his stuff about the players as well as anyone. What he doesnt know is the NFL teams choices for those positions. Generally his mock draft is about where the player SHOULD go, not where he really will go, its a glorified draft ranking made into a mock draft. There's no way of knowing right now who will focus on what exactly, outside of someone like San Fran and a QB etc. Like say the Steelers and a TE in the 1st round, the Steelers do need a TE, but they wouldn't take a TE that early, they just don't use them enough in the passing game. But Alex Smith is around the 30-35th ranked player in the draft etc. With that said, Pac Man Jones is too high, Derrick Johnson and Mike Williams are too low, and no way Justin Miller will be picked behind Bryant McFadden for CB's. I understand a lot of Mel's mock goes on where players should go, but under no circumstances will we ever see 3 RB's go in the first 5 picks. With that said, if you watch Mel's board it will change drastically once the combines come and he starts talking to teams.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 18, 2005 -> 09:18 AM) Excellent analysis. In fact, I would add this for consideration: It would be better this year for a lottery pick, than a first round exit. Next year they need the experience, but this year, another high pick would be nice. Didn't we trade this years first round pick for the rights to the Deng draft pick?

I think it's a great idea. I am not a season ticket holder, but do like to attend a lot of games. I would be happy to purchase tickets from fellow members.

http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...r_cws&fext=.jsp Glad to see we got that out of the way.

Why change to 2 for 1. I guess you have to go to games with an even number of people.

Check out Employee of the Month. It's an Indy film with Matt Dillon, Steve Zhan, and Christina Applegete. Steve Zhan has some classic lines in this movie.
