Plus I just love two toned hats, the Oriels this year are going to look great at home.
Yeah, me too. This Hawks hat I've been rocking the last couple months is very similar.

I was at a FansEdge yesterday. I asked a guy when they were going to get some of the New Era and Nike NFL stuff in. He said the jerseys would take over a month after the designs are shown Wednesday. However, I did get a picture of one of the hats IU posted.



No Green Bay ones.

He's a character from the movie 'Animal House'. It was a joke.

No Green Bay ones.

As it should be. You want Packer stuff, get it online, or move to friggen Wisconsin!


I'm really excited about New Era finally getting an NFL deal, but I'm not a huge fan of the generic theme with the city name in a standard font they are using for the draft. I'll wait til closer to the season to get a hat.

Kansas is the destination for ex-Illini coaches, I guess....

The Bulls are a good to very good team without Rose. If he isn't healthy, this team just can't contend with the NBA's best.

Interested in seeing what Reed brings to the table this season. He's got a good live arm. Could definitely be their closer for a long time.

Express finished the year tied at 80 points for the final playoff spot, but didn't make it to the ECHL playoffs due to Reading having the tiebreaker advantage over them.

Oh well, so it goes....

You have to adjust for roids. It's a different game now. Morrison, Mayberry Jr., Viciedo, Bourjos, Trout and Harper coming soon, lots of young guys on the rise. By the end of the season, OF is going to be a stacked position IMO.

Uh, more like Trout, Harper, and then a nice drop off to Wil Meyers, Brett Jackson, Anthony Gose and Christian Yelich. All of them could be up this season with the exception of Yelich.

LoMo and Vicideo are natural 1Bs. Bourjos is nothing special. Mayberry Jr. is 28...

Viciedo's actually a natural 3B. No place for him there with the Sox though, and he's probably terrible there anyways. But yeah, he probably moves to 1st once PK leaves.

He played 3B when he was signed but he's built like a 1B and the scouting reports I've seen have him tracking back to 1B because of that.

5 years $112 million for Matt Cain. Cross him off the list for Cubs targets next year.

That's what I would say gets him signed as a UFA. No home town discount.

I love Timmy. Started following him after the Cubs drafted him out of HS. He's been a treat to watch all these years.

Bourjos I think will be a 20-40 guy (if he bats leadoff), Mayberry I see hitting 25+ bombs/15 steals, Lomo a 30/100 guy, maybe this year, Viciedo may take some time but he has a good shot at being a 25-30 home run man. They aren't superstar prospects like the others but they are in MLB right now and all of those projections could be acheived this year. I like what Mayberry has done with his swing, his stance, for a big guy, he really gets in there and gets a great look, then you add the compact swing...I think he is going to be a big surprise this year.

I think LoMo could be an All-Star, but they'll move him back to 1B soon enough. Mayberry and Viciedo could be .800-.850 OPS guys. I'm not a big believer in Viciedo though. Bourjos probably won't crack .800 OPS.

I knew Cain wasn't going anywhere.

1 less for the Cubs to possibly get and its makes the FA pitching pool thinner too.

Personally, I want Hamels and Scott Baker.
