X-rays are in and Crosby didn't break his wrist, it's just really swollen. He might be ready to play Opening Day. Adding to what Al said, Ellis has been a pleasant surprise this Spring. I can remember as late as January there was speculation he wouldn't be ready for the start of the season. He's not much with the bat but the A's really missed his glove last year.

btw I'm going to the A's-Phillies game in June. I'll be there to remind Bobby Abreu that he's not an All-Star.

They're shitty. They need to start bunting more and realize the intagibles Joe McEw...I mean Marco Scutaro has.

You know we haven't had a true buzzer beater in the tournament...yet. Wow what a horrible possesion to end it.

You've got to be kidding.

Actually I did that back in Round 7 with Albert Pujols who debuted a year after Santana.

I could really go anywhere with this pick. But this pick crossed my mind the last couple of rounds. I have an idea to use this guy as my primary set-up man as before last year he split time between being a starter and a reliever. Cincinatti Kelly's Killers select...

You know not everyone who uses steroids gets cancer or does every professional athlete who did get cancer got it because they used steroids. Hell even Lyle Alzado's cancer wasn't caused by steroids, even though he believed they did but there was no evidence to support it.

So instead of up to the second updates of pointless Bonds' at bats this year is ESPN going to break into reports on his rehab?

"The Clear" is not a cream, it's the steroid THG that's taken orally and yes it can help build muscle mass.

I believe Al said in extreme cases he won't use a player's best year.

I think some get McGwire and Bonds mixed up. McGwire has only been alledged to have used steroids (even in the FBI report there was no evidence collected) but Bonds is on record as confessing to "unknowingly" using steriods. Also in the BALCO case there is a long paper trail as they documented everything they gave to athletes. 2GOLD, the cream and the clear were steroids, Bonds just said he didn't know they were.

Awww how could they fire him after calling Carlos Boozer a cunt? http://cavaliers.mostvaluablenetwork.com/ C U Next Tuesday, I have to use that some time.

Wrong. Again it's the word of another less than credible source, a rat drug dealer, who alledges he gave McGwire steriods. It's disgusting the way ESPN and the media pretty much portrayed this as 100% factual evidence that McGwire took steroids.

I wasn't even thinking of taking this guy but he's apparantly locked up a bullpen spot and Billy Beane just compared him to Dennis Eckersley. Probably bullshit but what the hell, it is a keeper league. Rebels of Oakland select...

Fun fact, since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, coming into this year, #10 seed beat the #7 seed 40% of the time (32-48). But when the #10 seed has played the #2 seed in the second round they have won 44.8% of the time (13-16). It's strange as even though the #7 seed advances 60% of the time in the first round they only beat the #2 seed 25.5% of the time (12-35), although West Virginia did pull it off last night.

Looks like the West Region (screw this naming after the city crap) will be decided in the Sweet 16 with the Washington vs. Louisville/Georgia Tech match-up. Hard to imagine Texas Tech or West Virginia in the Final Four.
