Not sure about CH as an NBA player. Not enough O to be a 3, not strong enough to be a 4. Classic tweener. Waiting for some honest feedback from NBA scouts before he decides on anything else is still a good idea. Coming back to IL or another college team might be in his best long term interest...

BB is heading into year 4 and it's a crucial one. After 5-7 last year he needs a bowl team to start showing some program momentum. Another losing season will place him on the warm seat going into 2025 and every loss will increase the temperature. AC's will start bailing to protect themselves...

Simply cannot lose a series to a team as bad as the Sox. Even worse at home no less. Good Grief.

Another weird stat: all Cardinal outfielders hold a bat in their hands for no apparent reason:cool:

Odd how the whole TV coverage issues are. We live across the river from StL. The stadium is less than 35 minutes away. BSMW is carried on Spectrum here. We watch prolly 150 games on Bally, there are several on Apple, mostly on Fridays. Go figure.

Be interesting to see where Nico ends up. If he wants a major role it would seem his best move would be an OVC, Horizon, Southland type destination.

Mikolas looked good, bout time. Let's hope he can string together some good starts.

More players drafted than a lot of bowl teams. Yet found a way to lose enough to get to 5-7. Illinois FB summed up not so nicely. Maybe some day it will be different.

Luke was a good team player and did everything he could to help his team win. Getting a bidness degree from UI is not easy, doing it in 3 yrs is mighty impressive and doing it in 3 yrs while playing D1 BBall is off the charts mad props. Best of luck to him when he isn't playing against us.

My ranking of fast food fries: Steak n Shake Micky D's Freddy's Sonic I like 'em thin and a little crispy.

Hopefully Gray can stop the bleeding today. I've been pleasantly surprised by most of the pitching. Gotta start rattling the bats!

Mikolas with a 6.49 ERA and .311 BAA. Nice $40m extension Mo. I can't wait for POBO to move on to another role and let someone with better talent evaluation skills take over. Early Mo was pretty darn good but from 2015 on he's been awful. The number of smart moves he's made have been dwarfed by...

Wasting a lot of good pitching that's for sure. Goldy, Gorman and Walker are killing us right now but they need to play to snap out of it. Having said that a day off for them might be a good thing right now. And getting Edman or Carlson back. CF is a black hole right now offensively. Put Noot in...

If you are Booth would you sign with IL without knowing for sure weather Hawk was coming back or not? I have no answer it just seems an odd signing at least at this time.

65 Barracuda. 318 4 bbl. Gold fastback with black interior. Loved that car until it was stolen. Got it back. Whoever stole it ran the Beejesus out of it. Engine blew up on our wedding night. 2 buddies had to bring us my new FIL's car so we could go on from there. True story.
