No way Scutaro signs for one year, nor would I want him for just 1 given that he is a type A free agent. Jose needs some time in the minors - remember, he has not played organized baseball since August 2008, I believe. No reason to rush him now.

Anytime Duke and the ACC loses is a great night.

Big 10 wins ACC/Big 10 Challenge for 1st time in 10 years! Also, Disaster in the Pac-10. Cal loses to NM, WAZZU blows lead to Gonzaga, Arizona headed to second OT against UNLV

Who was down by 23 at half. Unbelievable. Wisconsin up 70-69 with 5.7 left. Wisconsin to shoot 2. Edit: That's the game. Badgers win 73-69. Off topic, I love listening to Coach Knight on telecasts. Refreshing to hear a HOF coaches insights and what he would do in certain situations.

... and then lose to Florida. In response to Spudboy, I'm going to go Syracuse. Can we all agree the loss to LeMoyne meant absolutely nothing? They've blown out Cal and UNC (went on a 22-1 run to begin 2nd half vs UNC). Big date with Florida next Thursday in Tampa to show how elite they really are. But right now they're winning games by an average of 20-25 points with a roster as balanced as any. Wes Johnson is one of the premier players in America.

Wisconsin leads #6 Duke 67-65 with 1:30 left in 2nd half.

Don't forget we pretty much got Arroyo for free from the Pirates, which makes this sequence all the more unbelievable.

Was there even a chance AT ALL he would say no?

I would offer Laroche arbitration if I was the Braves. It's well known be wants a multi year deal. Why wouldn't the Yankees offer Damon arb? Rox should offer Marquis arbitration, he pitched 200 IP with a 4.00 ERA in Colorado. The Mets have been eyeing him for a while.

Oh c'mon, Lackey only has 22 chins.

Purpose of what?

Well, it is the media capital of the world. Its really not that hard to believe the New York media has better access to the comings and goings of the Boston FO than the Boston media does when you consider that John Henry used to be a small owner in the Yankees and has had ties with The New York times. If there is a source to this info its def coming via the John Henry side of things.

Marquette is up 27-18 with two to play in first half. FSU's offense might be the worst of the major conference schools. It's that bad

Seems like there is no truth to the rumor.

Once you take off Hanleys contract off the books and replace it with Lesters they are still running way in the black. Lesters contract doesnt start paying real money until 2013. Lester is a must in this deal if I'm the Marlins. Plus make no mistake about it, its not a Lester for Hanley trade straight up. Its going to take Lester plus at least two blue chip prospects and some spare parts. Hanley is an MVP candidate at 25, putting up ridiculous offensive numbers at a traditionally defensive position, and is locked up at a more than reasonable rate for the next 4 years which also happen to be his prime years. He has the highest trade value of anyone in the majors IMO and is going to cost a lot to pry him out of there I suppose you could get him out of there without Lester but the Red Sox would have to decide if they want there minor league system (including Clay B, Bard) completely ravaged because if the Marlins have shown one thing over the past decade is they know how to identify talent and they rarely if at all ever get the short end of any trade.

As I said in that thread, I have a very hard time believing the Marlins have any interest in trading Hanley away before they get into that new stadium. He's one of the top 5 players in the game and has a very affordable contract considering his talent through 2014. I imagine we called but they are going to start at Jon Lester and to be honest they have every right to

Vanderbilt's freshman John Jenkins is going to score a lot of important baskets for Vandy this year. Incredible stroke.

keizo konishi of the seattle chapter had miggy 1st.

and cuse dominates unc ... they are even better than last year.

Big test tomorrow at division leader, Buffalo

Boy, was Syracuse impressive tonight. Beat #12 Cal easily 95-73. Game was never really close. Again, as I said when it happened the Lemoyne loss meant NOTHING. They played man the whole game, if you know anything about Syracuse, you know they are all about the 2-3 zone defense. They are long on the back-line and on the front. They trapped exceptionally well. Solid, suffocating defense. No dumb turnovers. Unselfish play. Very balanced team. It's beyond me how they are not ranked in the AP, right now. UNC/OSU on now. Ohio State doesn't have the size to stop UNC in the post. UNC young team = not understanding that's how they'll win 90% of their games.
