Originally posted by headhunters: the whole issue with the big 10 imho has been the refs. heck, i see it in girls high school ball. many refs just don't call a foul a foul. i know you should not call 'em all ( they are trained to call "on advantage")- but over the years the big 10 has gotten rougher...

Originally posted by Beezman: One other thing. The word around town is that Izzo is second to Calipari on the list to succeed Billy Gillispie at UK. I bet Calipari takes the job, but if not you may have to waive your beloved coach good-bye at season's end. I just don't see it, but I could be wrong. ...

Originally posted by Beezman: RobG, I'd like to add one thing to my partners response. The "roughness" of State is not what bothered UofL yesterday. It was the excellent game plan from Izzo, man to man defense, and three point shooting that beat my Cards. Congrats to the Spartans. They whipped us. I...

Originally posted by Likewhat17: I agree that the league is very balanced, and should be exciting all year.. The one guy that I couldn't risk not getting was Chris Carpenter. If he can stay healthy, he's a steal in Round 13. Also really liked the values of Victor Martinez in the 5th and Rich Harden ...

Originally posted by headhunters: i am going to anoit rob- team 12, as the team to beat. just too many good players. got real values in connor jackson and chris young imho. lots of guys that can go 20-15 or 15-20. of course that probably means you are jinxed rob- but i do like the team. the league l...

Originally posted by Beezman: We missed out on Paul Maholm and we wanted Justin Upton in round 11. He went a few picks ahead of us. We also were planning to take Matt Capps and RobG grabbed him 2 ahead of us. We ended up disappointed with our second and possible closers/ We had a great time and it w...

Rollins and Tex to start...can't say I ever have this happen to me. Good job, this team should compete. Here is to Ervin coming back early and at last year's pace.

From the 12 spot in Chicago 3 There wasn't much value early on in this draft as everyone seemed to be dead on with their picks, great group. Wasn't initially happy with some risk, but we will see. C R. Martin C B. Inge 1B A. Laroche 2B C. Utley SS T. Tulowitzki 3B C. Jones CI E. Encarnacion MI Y. Be...

Originally posted by The Mighty Men: I'm guessing, Rob, that 12 was not your last KDS spot. 15 was our last KDS spot, so we were last out of the hat and got our last pick. Brutal. Yeah, you have me beat there. That was my 12th kds spot. The end of the round set up nicely in a satellite last night fo...

Go State!!!

MLB Radio on XM really went to the cheap this year and losing Marc Patrick, Rob Dibble, Charlie Steiner and the Fantasy Focus show really has turned me off as a listener. With local shows, like WDFN in Detroit also being cut, I have to think that podcasts will really be the new wave. One would hope ...

Tom or Greg, are you guys planning on running any basketball drafts again this October?

Not going to win first, but I will say that my pitching would have been dead had I not picked up Ryan Dempster in week one.

After doing Vegas for two years, I actually enjoyed doing the draft in Florida this year. That said, I would be in for either Tampa or Orlando as it gives me a chance to visit my parents in Sarasota and see the Tigers in Lakeland.

Originally posted by Quack: Should be interesting to see the Rodney bids this weekend as the news broke very close to the FAAB deadline I will say that I bid on him late in the process today, but as a Tiger fan am still scared to death of the prospect of Rodney as closer, as he showed today. Dependi...

Originally posted by The Mighty Men: MID-SEASON UPDATE: Well, the strategy that all the "experts" said could not work is working, so far. At the mid point, team Santana/Peavy is in first place. I did this strategy after Tom Kessenich said in a chat words to the effect that he would never start this ...

Greg,



Sign me up for the $125.00 Wednesday, July 16th @9pm draft.



Thanks

At this point, I am glad I went against my better judgement and picked Utley in the first round. Just shows how good my better judgement is. Wayne, what was your judgement telling you?



I took Holiday over Utley and was happy, not sure how that looks now.

Originally posted by Cooperstown: Would any of the 26% of Bruce "owners that started him" care to to enlighten me as to whether they played a hunch, or KNEW he was being called up. And if you knew, what freakin' website do you subscribe to. thank you I can't lie. I got the ESPN text message at about...

Well, on another note...Bruce just stole another base and scored a run. This could be the start of a nice rookie season.
