oh…

UNC just slapped the #$@$ out of ND…the #6 rated team in the country…who had just beaten the #4 team in the country…

is there any doubt that UNC and UConn (who, if Thalbeet gets in foul trouble are pretty mediocre) are the 2 best teams this year?

I think you all are outlining the problem with fooling ourselves into thinking we can compete in 2009. We start forcing round pegs into square holes. Dunn may be the best player available, but he is not the right guy for us.

Say it with me – “Two year rebuild.”

I’ll tell you what: I am thankful for this forum, Mac and everyone who contributes.

No word yet on whether my wife and/or employer agree.

We can just use the Ted Lilly “Oh, oops, it must have slipped out of my hand multiple times in a row” excuse.

There’s probably some sort of rule against that.

Dunn at $11 million per year is a bargain. Diaz can always spell him (or move Dunn to first to replace Kotchman) against tough lefties.

Maybe we should just bean Hamels until they don’t pitch him against us anymore.

The way Bobby used Boyer last year was insane coming off a surgery. He clearly has good stuff and was a good reliever before his arm fell off.
