I can't decide if tonight or game 5 of the NLDS against ARI was better. Just nail biting games that came right down to the end.
-
Frickin amazing. O and that was a terrible ruling by the refs
-
Man this has been a good game. Awesome game to watch even if UW can't pull it out
-
Frank is awesome
-
Very nice start. Would love to play from ahead. This one is surely going down to the wire. They have a lot of fouls already and we are the better FT shooting team. Should be fun
-
The last final 4 team for UW had UW, MSU, Florida, and UNC in the Final 4. Kind of weird that UW's next Final 4 could also include Florida and MSU.
-
As weird as it sounds I am cheering for MSU and Michigan tonight. I want the B10 to get 3 of the 4 Final 4 teams. Plus if UW happens to make it to the Final 4 I would rather play Michigan in the semis than Kentucky or Louisville. Actually I probably wouldn't mind facing Kentucky; veteran well coached team like UW could drive that team crazy.
-
I think Arizona as a 3 point favorite is about right. Wisconsin has a much better offense IMO but Arizona is big and athletic and could cause problems. Arizona does not have a whole lot of scorers. If you keep them out of the paint (Big If) you probably win. Hopefully Kaminsky keeps playing well and UW gets better games out of Gasser and Dekker against ARI. Those two were kind of MIA yesterday; not that they needed them.

Detroit gives a bank to Miguel Cabrera
fondybrewfan replied to jerichoholicninja's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yeah this is going to be another Pujols contract. Maybe the first couple years won't be so bad but 5 years from now you are going to have an old fat untradeable DH that is making a bazillion dollars. Plus throw Verlander and Scherzer contracts in there. Detroit is desperate for a WS but this just reeks of stupidity if you ask me. They better not count on being able to offload him like they did with Fielder. -
Baylor was just pathetic; they were playing like they didn't care I think Arizona is very vulnerable if you ask me. Not saying UW will win but they have a darn good chance. Arizona just isn't a dominant team/
-
I no longer have any interest in Embiid if we end up with the 1st or 2nd pick and both Parker and Wiggins declare. Embiid has too much of an injury history and too much of a project/unknown to take him over Parker or Wiggins who will likely be in the starting lineup on Day #1. Embiid just strikes me as a slightly more skilled Larry Sanders.
-
If someone actually opened up my unit and stole parts out of it I am going to be so pissed. I hadn't even thought of that; I will check tonight. I just don't understand what would motivate anyone to steal an AC unit cover that costs $10 at Menards. Hell you could probably just use a heavy duty garbage bag. People are awful.
-
To add to the "You stole what?" conversation. Someone not only stole the $10 plastic cover I had on my outdoor AC unit but also stole the rock I had sitting on top to weight it down. Really?
-
Have they just come out and said Thornburg is the long man? If he is in the bullpen I would love for him to be a 7th or 8th inning guy. Wang, Thornburg, and Smith can all go multiple innings so I hope the best pitcher of the 3 doesn't get put in the crappiest role.
-
I am fine with how it turned out. Reynolds and Overbay surely aren't world beaters but it will almost be impossible to not substantially improve over 2013. As for Francisco there is a reason he was given up on by 2 teams already. He will have a good two week stretch followed by an entire half season of crap. Maybe he turns into Big Papi; but he is much more likely to end up playing in Japan or accepting a lesser role in the US. He would be great for a rebuilding team in the AL that needs a DH. At least those teams could afford to have some patience with him.
-
Also the Big East was a train wreck in the Tourney so perhaps Smart thinks he can get a better job then being on an above average team in a below average conference. I would take him in a heartbeat though.
-
Well Archie Miller already agreed to an extension with Dayton so he is of the board. I don't think you could go wrong with Shaka Smart or Gregg Marshall. Those would be the clear top names on my list. If you can't get either one then you probably have to re evaluate. I don't like Howland or Wardle to much for that job.
-
The UW / Baylor game should be a solid contest. It should really help that both Kaminsky and Hayes can step out and hit that mid range jumper. Baylor basically had to account for only 2 guys on Creighton and could be very aggressive. With Wisconsin they can't leave anyone. I like UW in that game. Arizona will be a really tough game for UW though.
-
Wichita St played a pretty darn good game I would hate for people to call that them overrated. Kentucky sure seemed to get the benefit of the doubt from the officials in the 2nd half. Anytime they got in the lane it was an automatic foul it seemed like. Even though my bracket is shot and I have virtually no chance of coming out ahead at least I have UW to cheer for yet.
-
Great win. Really like the matchup against Creighton or Baylor
-
Well that is more like it. Erased that deficit really quickly
-
Officiating may be iffy but when you let them shoot 60% and run all over the place it won't matter. Jackson needs to get his head out of his rear. Not a good first half at all. That being said Oregon looks like a really good team.
-
I went to bed thinking SDSU was cruising against New Mexico St only to find out they blew it and survived in OT. That would have been disastrous for my bracket. A lot of teams really struggled down the stretch, SDSU, Texas, NC State, Etc. There were a lot of nerves out there yesterday but their were a ton of great games. Well except for UW which looked better than anyone out there. Need Wichita St, GW, and Nebraska today.
-
Thanks for the choke job NC State. Blew a 16 point lead in 8 minutes because they choked at the line. That would have been a solid upset pick for me
-
AMerican was u like 19-12 midway through the 1st half and scored like 16 points the rest of the game. Ouch. I am not all that impressed with Oregon right now; BYU just isn't that good
