Pretty much. Of the last 15 winners only Ricky Williams was on a non-Top 10 team and Texas was still respectable 8-3 in the regular season. The last winner on a non-ranked team was Steve Owens of Oklahoma in 1969 who went 6-4 that year and did not play in a bowl.

Warriors went toe-to-toe with the Suns and Pistons the last few nights but faded at the end both games for their first back-to-back losses of the year. Oh well baby steps to getting back to respectibility. Hopefully this won't trigger a losing streak and kill the nice early season momentum.

"Duck season!" "Rabbit season!" Anyways all I wanna know before this thread is eventually closed, is there any limit to the length of a thread title now?

I'll be here. Texans - 19 points Chicago Cleveland Houston Indianapolis New England Oakland Minnesota Carolina N.Y. Giants San Francisco Arizona Denver Dallas San Diego Detroit New Orleans

If Tejada and Hernandez hated each other it was never made public while they were Oakland so it's news to me.

Varitek will just have to learn.

I'd bet good money on Soriano having a sub-.300 OBP next year with the switch to RFK.

Probably Baltimore to become the Palmerio replacement. They tried to get him awhile back and I can see them being nuts enough to make a run at him. He should just retire but he won't. He'll probably be signing with the A's as early as tommorrow.

He's better and cheaper than Renteria.

For some odd reason I can't quote right now, but in regards to Vern's post that is a list of who signed up, not the final roster. They're obviously not going to a have a 42 man roster. Al said it will be 27 man rosters which is probably 7 more players than they need considering how short the tournament is. Obvioulsy Al Leiter ain't going to make the cut. Joe Nathan isn't on there because he didn't sign up. TRAITOR TO OUR COUNTRY!!!!

Kotsay has a no trade clause for 2006 as part of the new deal signed this past year. But that may all be meaningless at this moment as apparantly Peter Gammons says the Bradley deal may not go through. Other A's speculation by him is that they are very close to signing Frank Thomas and have become the favorites to trade for David Wells for Justin Duchscherer. Yeesh not sure how I'd feel about that deal.

They mentioned in the press conference that there will be mercy rule but didn't get into specifics. That's the thing I was wondering though is I imagine the tickets to the U.S. games aren't going to be cheap there could be some mighty pissed off fans if they end a game early. The U.S./South Africa match-up will the equivalent of the orignal Dream Team vs. Angola in '92 but maybe worse.

Awww AoO didn't read the first paragraph: Oh well. You can edit your post and PM me these if you'd like or just leave them and take them as your picks for your bowl game.

A's are very close to acquiring Milton Bradley for Kirk Saarloos and a minor leaguer. If it goes through great trade from a talent standpoint. A's have a glut of starting pitchers and even though Saarloos was solid as the 5th starter last year he walks as many as he strikes out which is tough to get by on. As for Bradley if can just stay healthy and hit well, he can choke as many pregnent women as he likes....

True but Navy was indeed not ranked in either AP or Coaches poll that year. They did beat Cal in the Aloha Bowl and Army lost to Auburn in the Independence Bowl.

Boredom strikes, here are all AP 25th ranked teams since the polls expanded from 20 in 1989. 2004: Pittsburgh 2003: TCU 2002: West Virginia 2001: BYU 2000: Iowa State 1999: Purdue 1998: Syracuse 1997: Georgia Tech 1996: Army 1995: Iowa 1994: Texas 1993: California 1992: Wake Forest 1991: Air Force 1990: Illinois 1989: Arizona I now your lives are enriched for knowing this.

They finished #23 in the BCS and those are the only rankings that matter, so who cares?

In a sense since the rest of The Netherlands will be a bunch of nobodies. I just noticed Alex Rodriguez is listed at the bottom of the list not assigned to a country. I'm thrilled Rich Harden didn't sign up for Canada as didn't want him getting another injury. Here's a breakdown by position of who signed up for the U.S. team (including A-Rod): Catchers - Michael Barrett, Joe Mauer, Brian Schneider, Jason Varitek First Basemen - Derrek Lee, Mark Teixeira Second Basemen - Craig Biggio, Chase Utley Third Basemen - Eric Chavez, Chipper Jones, Alex Rodriguez?, David Wright Shortstops - Derek Jeter, Jimmy Rollins, Michael Young Outfielders - Lance Berkman, Barry Bonds, Carl Crawford, Johnny Damon, Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey Jr, Juan Pierre, Vernon Wells Starting Pitchers - Mark Buehrle, Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay, Al Leiter, Jake Peavy, Andy Pettite, C.C. Sabathia, Ben Sheets, John Smoltz, Dontrelle Willis, Barry Zito Relief Pitchers - Chad Cordero, Brian Fuentes, Eddie Guardado, Jason Isringhausen, Todd Jones, Brad Lidge, B.J. Ryan, Huston Street, Billy Wagner I no idea what the number of players will be on the roster.

There IS a screening process. See my previous post with the list of guys who were eligible that were left off.

Okay here's a link to what I have to assume is a list as to who has agreed to participate but not actual rosters as there are like 50 U.S. players listed and then some countries with less than five. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/wbc/rost...content=country Al Leiter has agreed to participate. USA! USA! USA!
