I will throw in my two cents - and, oddly, it is a bit rosier than most folks on the board. And that is not usually my trademark. I think we have a swarming group of talented and fast guards. Pippen is obviously the star - and I do think he should, on paper, come back for one more year. It is not a ...

This kid is a great player. I wish he had stayed - we are going to have a very good o-line next year and he was going to be great again. With that said, he can move to a "contender" and play in the national spotlight. I suspect he will go to a big name program. We do have some very good rb...

I guess the logic is the draft assigns players to go play in the summer - and if there are no leagues this summer... why shell out big money and hire players not to play? There are reports, anyway, that MLB and the union seem to be discussing this. The other cost saving feature is that it would mean...

Step up, Royals.

Really good news!!!

and thank you!!!!

It may cost him some money. But it may not.

And Vandy fans should appreciate having him back. We really need senior leadership on this team. We will be talented - but verrrrrry young.

I recognize that the Yankees may pull out all the stops between now and the deadline - but it seems we at least have a fighting chance here with DeMarco - and I also see no sign that Duval has signed. It is an interesting situation. Again, both of these guys have contributed mightily to a National C...

I don't want to get ahead of myself here - but I think thanks to ESPN and the SEC (and other league) channels, college baseball is rising at a very fast pace. I think two things are happening. First, the pros are - as the ESPN announcers pointed out - learning to give draft ties to the college playe...

I note that, despite some chatter, there is nothing official about DeMarco signing yet. Obviously, I hope he stays. The draw of the Yankees has to be strong. I do think his draft status will do nothing but skyrocket next year. With Clarke gone - this is even more true. He and Martin would be the mai...

You have to appreciate those championships.

They’re hard to get. A lot of things have to fall in place.

We’ll be doing some rebuilding next year.

But no one can take that championship away. Thanks for the memories - I’ll be rooting for all these guys at the next level.

It could well be that it was the Big Ten tuning in.

But it also could be that we are "branding."

Between Rocker and Martin next year - I suspect ESPN will be preparing to play us up heavily. And I don't mind.

Rocker gets MVP. I can't argue with that.

Great team. Great win. Winningest team we've ever had.

So much pressure - and they just pushed on. Top 2 all year and never wavered.

Thank you!!!

Eder showing us to have faith. Nice statement.

Tough call for MVP.

Paul's bat came alive tonight. We'll miss a lot of these guys.

Clarke's third hit of the night. 8-2.

We will miss JJ. Imagine - 51 games in a row reaching base.

Not a pretty inning - but 7-2 going to the bottom of 8.

How nice would it be for Infante to get hold of one?

I love that run.

Big sb by DeMarco. He has had a very good game.

Nice inning by Eder. Really nice.

I have complimented several umps for their strike zones during the CWS.

We have to survive this guy.

Bleday gets called out on two pitches way outside. The announcers call one of the called strikes "a pitch out." My favorite line of the night.
