Let's put it this way.

When I wake up in the morning, I look in the mirror. I try to ask myself this question: WWND.

Minors 4/11

Sidney Pintson starting for the Redhawks, with Boggs still batting 8th ... wtf? Does anyone think that is a good idea?

Ballard starts for Frisco and is dealing again with 0 ER through 3 IP with 2K's and 7 GB outs -- also striking out Cards' prospect Bryan Anderson. Teagarden and JMJ have K'd while MaxRam has singled.

Beau Jones vs. Tim Alderson as Bakersfield travels to San Jose.

Clinton, as mentioned elsewhere, is postponed.

OT: DeAngelo Hall to Raiders

Will be traded for a 2nd round pick, possibly more. That seems a little light.

Then, he'll be extended for 7 / $70 MM. That seems a little much?

What are some CB alternatives that you would like to see the Cowboys target?

OT: Cowboys / Eagles Game Thread

Matchup

     W-L    PF   PA    HOME  ROAD  DIV   CONF
PHI  5-8    271  262   2-5   3-3   1-4   3-7
DAL  12-1   423  275   6-1   6-0   4-0   9-0

The Cowboys (12-1) come in having won seven straight since suffering their only loss of the season to New England on Oct. 14. Dallas rallied to win 28-27 last Sunday against the Detroit Lions to capture the NFC East title for the first time since 1998.

The Cowboys are now setting their sights on wrapping up a first-round bye with a win or a Seattle loss at Carolina on Sunday. They also could guarantee themselves home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs with a win and a Green Bay loss at St. Louis.

The Eagles have won five of their last seven visits to Dallas, including a 23-7 win on Dec. 25, 2006.

Another note: the Cowboys signed starting nose tackle Jay Ratliff, who took over the position when veteran Jason Ferguson was injured in the opening game of the year, to a five-year contract extension. I guess that solves the "who will replace Fergie long-term" question, although we control Tank Johnson through next year as well.

Scouts' Position Advantage:

QB - Dal
RB - Phi
WR - Dal
OL - Dal
DL - Dal
LB - Dal
DB - Phi
ST - Dal
Coach - Dal

OT: Stars on a roll

5-0-1 since general manager Doug Armstrong and team president Jim Lites were fired.

Jokinen has emerged as a real threat, tearing it up on the power play. Hagman is off to a fast start with 10 goals in 23 games. Not bad, considering that Armstrong got him from Florida for a 7th round pick. Morrow is doing his thing: dropping dimes and leading the team in points with 22 and +10 when he is on the ice.

Question: should Smith play more than Turco?

Poll at right.

FOTF -- Rangers' 2007 POY

A few days tardy, but didn't see this posted anywhere else.

Benoit won the Pitcher of the Year.

Pitcher of the Year was probably a little harder to decide, considering BGL's dominance this year (149 ERA+ with 63 K's in 68.3 IP). But Benoit certainly deserves recognition for a 158 ERA+ and 87 K's over 82 IP.
