    Well, the “experts” say the Reds have a powerful lineup, Rodon is inexperienced, and the Chisox ballpark is hitter friendly.

    Thanks Wuf! Looking forward to this. All the fantasy advice says don’t start him against the Reds, but my ERA and WHIP are shot this week anyway.

    No link to link to, but the fantasy baseball note next to his name says Carlos Rodon will start Saturday against the Reds. Yes, he’s on my fantasy team.

    Wufpacker EDIT – Meant to get this up, in fact. Thx for the reminder 🙂
    Throwing it up on the main blog to increase visibility.

    So I guess adding “Tikki Tavi” would be bad form too? 🙂 (Seriously, I’m just joking. Don’t take offense. I always pulled for the cobras anyway! And how do you get a laughing emoticon thingy in here?)

    Used to love gardening when I had a house with a yard. Tomatoes, okra, many varieties of hot peppers and sweet peppers. If you like peppers and can find something called an Italian sweet pepper, plant them instead of bell peppers. They bear better, are more tolerant, tasty and grow to a beautiful Wolfpack red if you leave them on the vine long enough. And you have enough of them that you can eat plenty of green ones while you’re waiting for a few to ripen up.

    Grass, however, is an emissary from Satan. I hate cutting grass with every fiber of my soul. If I ever move back into a house, I’m looking into Astroturf.

    Here’s a silver lining: I just traded for Carlos Rodon in my 20-year-old fantasy baseball keeper league.

    Sad for us, but I hope it works for him. Didn’t realize he was that old – that really makes the decision understandable, even if does wind up in Europe or elsewhere.

    As for me, well FML.

    Yeah, that challenge game against Houston in the 83-84 season was the debut of Spud Webb to Lorenzo Charles. Loved it.

    I simply hate West Virginia basketball even more than Virginia. IF I want to see men grab and clutch and pound each other, I’ll watch … rasslin’. And I hate rasslin’.

    If you want players to grow, improve and learn to play well, they have to play against good competition, not cupcakes. I think that’s part of the reason Gott’s teams improve toward the end of the year. They haven’t feasted up to 20 wins against Sisters of the Mercy Bi-Directional Tech.

    Read one article that compared HWSNBN’s results in the desert to their previous coaches. He compared very favorably in terms of winning percentage against Arizona and in getting the team to the NCAA tourney (Hard to believe that 2 out of 9 is improvement, but hey, we had 20 years in the desert post-V ourselves). But yeah, he’s never going to bring your team a title.

    RTO has really started to rebound well in the last 10 games or so. I remember listening on the radio in one game and he wound up with 8. He got a few this game and in previous games too. Have also been impressed with Caleb’s rebounding.

    With all our rebounding problems early (think GT, Notre Dame, etc.), it seems like our guards/swingmen have made a concerted effort to help out. I mean sure, it’s better when RTO is canning 3s, but it seems he’s learning that he can do other things to help the team when he’s off. Previously, he was just a waste when the jumpers weren’t falling.

    Georgai won the SEC tourney once playing 4 games. It was the year a tornado tore through downtown Atlanta and they moved the game to the Georgia Tech gym.

    So I noticed a former Sidney Lowe recruit on Pitt’s roster: Joseph Ucehbo. Bleacher Report did a nice story on his struggle in December. You can Google it if you want, because I’ve tried to post the link 7 times or so. I’m pulling for Joe, except for tonight of course.

    This is college on the diamond, where singles, small ball and scratch and run rule. What the hey is it with all the long balls? (Other than the fact that chicks dig ’em.)
