  gamestop rips people off like crazy there gonna give me 4 dollars for fifa 08 and they sell it for like 20 dollars
  
  Answer:-Yours is used, and no they don't rip people off. When they sell games, they sell them more for what they bought them, or there is a set price they're to be sold at. It's called business, it's how the game company make money and so does the business who sells the game.

• Question:-How well do Gamestop refurbished game systems work?
  I have been considering buying a used PS3 for less money from Gamestop, and they have "Gamestop Refurbished Systems" online for sale. I was wondering if anyone knew if they worked well. Thanks!
  
  Answer:-I know someone who bought one of those refurbished systems and has never had a problem with it. so i'd say go for it!
  
  plus, if you buy one from them and it turns out to still have something wrong with it, take it back to them and they have to replace it for you (with i think) a brand new system as a replacement because they messed up.
• Question:-How long will Gamestop take to verify a PS3 and game order?
  I ordered a PS3 and Valkyria Chronicles early Monday morning, about 2 in the morning.
  I paid for overnight shipping. Gamestop says one business day to transit, one day to process.
  So I should get it by Wednesday, right?
  I've been reading that people have a lot of problems with Gamestop online orders, but I checked to make sure my shipping address and billing address match, which they do.
  How long will it take to verify my information?
  
  Answer:-I dont know...call gamestop cust svc dude.
• Question:-How does Gamestop get their values for when you trade in a game?
  Im curious as how gamestop gets their values on trade ins. I traded in about 7wii games and the wii zapper and i spent like over 200$ on thoes games and only got about 40$.
  
  Answer:-Probably age of the games and the price they charge for a new copy. They certainly want to make money and not undercut their new game sales.
  
  Besides, you're the one who accepted their offer of only $40. You could have said no.
• Question:-How much would gamestop buy my nintendo games for?
  I have 3 games I want to sell: Hannah Montana Music Jam; Cats; and Puppy Luv Spa and Resort. These are games that I don't play anymore. And I was wondering how much gamestop would buy them for. I dont know how much it would pay or separately and together.
  
  Answer:-It depends what the game is when its made and all that, if it was made in 08 probably half of a game that was made in 2010. And also the condition of the game.probably around twenty bucks if its not used, but if used around ten to twenty, like I said it depends on when the game was made.
• Question:-How long does gamestop hold a preordered game after release?
  I preordered Medal of Honor on Friday the 8th and it was released on Tuesday the 12th. I put ten dollars on it when i preodered it but ill only be able to pay it off and pick it up on Thursday the 14th. Will Gamestop hold it for two days after the release day?
  
  Answer:-they only hold your game for fourty eight hours unless you call them. Many times if there are extra copies they don't mind holding onto it but if there isn't they don't. You don't lose your money you just won't get your game.

ryan braun

• Question:-Ryan Braun?
  I have had Ryan Braun on my fantasy team for about 2.5-3 weeks now, and he has been ripping up my opponents. Thanks to him, I have come back from last place to a tie for 6th in only 3 weeks, and I am within distance of 4th place, and possibly 3rd with luck. But now, when his value is at its peak, should I trade him right away, and get the max value for him? Or should I wait and trade him at the first sign of trouble, or hold onto him for the rest of the season. Who knows whether Braun will continue to produce such amazing numbers? Sure he's been amazing for the last 2+ months but he could go into a huge slump, just in time for the fantasy playoffs. What should I do?
  
  Answer:-keep Ryan Braun!!
  he is amazing!
• Question:-ryan braun?
  when will ryan braun be available as an outfielder.?
  
  Answer:-due to the signing of centerfielder Mike Cameron, Ryan Braun will start at leftfield this season as Bill Hall will reclaim his third baseman starting position after playing centerfield last season. Corey Hart will start at rightfield
  
  in Yahoo, Ryan Braun will have to start only five games to get his OF or LF eligibility this season.
• Question:-How much $ can I get from a signed baseball by ryan braun?
  I just got a ball signed from ryan braun (the brewers) and its in a case & everything. so how much money can I get for it?
  
  Answer:-Without a certificate of authenticity or some other proof its his signature, you can get as many $ that someone is willing to give you. Braun should be happy his gesture of taking his time to sign your ball will help the economy.
• Question:-Which is a better baseball card: a 2009 freddy sanchez topps relic card or a ryan braun upper deck spectrum?
  I am trying to trade my freddy sanchez for his ryan braun. I am also including another good card. He thinks its a bad deal. I am trying to convince him to trade. Please tell me if its a good deal or its bad either way. And who is a better baseball player overall. Thanks
  
  Answer:-The Braun spectrum card is the better card but neither one is a high dollar card. Don't let him screw you over. Braun is the better player too.
• Question:-Who Is Better Mike Lowel or Ryan Braun for a H2H Fantasy baseball league with 12 teams?
  My thirdbaseman now is Ryan ZImmerman, and i currently own Ryan Braun, should i drop Braun for Lowel?
  
  Answer:-Based on H-2-H scoring, I'd keep Braun.
  
  Lowell is hot right now, and has a decent history for putting up good fantsy numbers, but Braun is predicted to one day be a top-10 guy. If he shows any of that this year, (and he already has with a HR and 2 SB in his first few games) he'll be more valuable to you. He's got 5 catagory impact potential.
• Question:-Would you rather have Grady Sizemore or Ryan Braun on your fantasy baseball team? Why?
  Yahoo thinks Grady Sizemore is better and ESPN thinks Ryan Braun is better! Regardless of what these websites think, this question is difficult to answer but I would greatly appreciate hearing many different opinions on which player will be better in 2009!
  
  Answer:-I would say it depends on your other rosters. Braun can provide you bit more in power categories while Sizemore can provide more runs and SBs. But in general, I would choose Sizemore over Braun. If you look at their 2008 statics, their numbers are almost identical when it comes to hits (170/174) and Ks (129/130). What Sizemore has over Braun is hard to come by. Power hitter with great speed. Sizemore is more of well rounded athlete and he had a bad season privously. In my opinion, Sizemore second most well rounded player right beneath Hanley Ramirez.
• Question:-Would you trade Lincecum for Hanley Ramirez or Ryan Braun?
  In a total points fantasy league, would you trade Lincecum straight up for Hanley Ramirez or Ryan Braun? It's a keeper league as well.
  
  Answer:-In a points keeper league, you can't trade Lincecum for Braun. I love Braun, I would draft him higher in a draft... but Lincecum is a stud, and in points leagues SP are more valuable than OF because it's easier to find a OF who can give you points. In a roto league, you might make the deal... in a points league, you can't.
  
  However... if your SS is weak (say, you're starting Aybar, Scutero, etc), then yes, I would move Lincecum for Ramirez. SS is a much harder position to find points scorers at than OF, and Hanley is hands-down the best option at SS. You could make a major upgrade in points by making the deal.
  
  However... if your SP is weak, I wouldn't make either deal. As I said... SP is a very important position in points leagues, especially if you deal with negative points. I would rather load up with aces on offense than hitters... most points leagues reward a great pitching performance more than they do 5 days of solid hitting performances, and Lincecum is easily the best long-term keeper option possible at SP.
• Question:-When will the Cubs realize that they are not better then the Brewers and Ryan Braun?
  Lets Face it Ryan Braun is better then the whole Cubs roaster. I just don't understand why Braun is so Freakin good.
  God. Just leave my Cubs alone Braun. PLEASE!!!!
  
  Answer:-lol well Braun is pretty good but I think you're giving him too much credit. the best ever? hmmmm
• Question:-Is the Ryan Braun extension the nail in the coffin for Prince Fielder leaving the Brewers in Free Agency?
  http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110421&content_id=18083158&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb
  
  The Brewers extended Braun's contract through 2020 for an additional $105 Million. I don't think they will have the funds for Prince Fielder since they dedicated them to Ryan Braun.
  
  Answer:-no way does prince stay in the offseason... especially with what free agents are being paid these days
• Question:-how is ryan braun doing in spring training and will he have another good year?

justin verlander

• Question:-Justin Verlander?
  On Justin Verlanders no-hitter. What other milestone was accomplished?
  
  If this isn't solved by 12:35 a.m ill give hints (i got a TON of laundry to do and my dryers really slow so i got time)
  Chris H--good answer...but I'm talking about one person doing what no other person has done in there career.
  Yeah Chris H i figured it was you. But lemme give you a hint.
  
  ~~It was a member of the Detroit Tigers.
  ~~It has nothing to do with Justin Verlander.
  
  Sure it was the first no-hitter at Comerica, but thats not it either. no other player has done this in their career.
  Hey here's a hint. It has nothing to do with the no-hitter.
  well... no one got it. pudge rodriguez got his 12,000th putout. a feet never accomplished by a catcher before.
  
  Answer:-It's me on another account. It was the 1st ever no-hitter pitched at Comerica Park.
• Question:-Is it fair to say that Justin Verlander is the Tigers equivalent to the Colts Peyton Manning?
  The Colts aren't a playoff team without Peyton Manning and the Tigers wouldn't be one without Justin Verlander.
  
  Answer:-no. manning plays every game - when healthy. verlander pitches in only every 5th game. no comparison
• Question:-Would you rather have Justin Verlander or Josh Johnson on your fantasy baseball team?
  I have Josh Johnson(Marlins) on my team and I am wondering if I should trade him for Justin Verlander(Tigers). Would this be a good trade for me? Why or why not?
  
  Answer:-I would rather have Verlander because Johnson is an injury risk and Verlander is still the pitcher that threw a no-hitter n the guy who went 18-6 with a 3.66 ERA
• Question:-What Would You Guve for Justin Verlander?
  The fact is pretty much established... Justin Verlander is the best player in baseball, saying that what would you give up from
  your favorite team to get JV as your ace
  
  Answer:-I would trade a couple of players for Justin Verlander
• Question:-Can Justin Verlander save the Tigers season on Sunday?
  Basically, what the Tigers season comes down to is Justin Verlander, the savior of the Detroit Tigers. But, what the Tigers really need is offense, because the Tigers are just fundamentally dumb offensively.
  
  Can Justin Verlander save the Tigers season, or will Tigers fans be asking What if? questions when the season ends?
  
  Answer:-Yes . . . Verlander is gonna shut em out on Sunday.
  
  By the time you come back to check for the best answer the Tigers will probably have clinced by then.
  
  No matter what the Twins do the Tigers will clinch tomorrow cuz of Verlander and Ordonez.
  
  Too bad for the Tigers though because now Verlander can't pitch in games one or two of the ALDS in New York against the Yankees.
  
  But if Jackson can beat the Yankees in Game 1 or 2 and then the series goes to Detroit tied at one game apiece . . .
  
  Then I would say that the Tigers would be favored because they would get Verlander to throw in game 3 and game 5.
  
  But I just realized that the ALDS has a day off in between games one and two!!!
  
  Oh snap if this happens then the Tigers can throw Jackson in game 1 and Verlander in game 2!
  
  Man . . . I think the Yankees are going down in the first round AGAIN!!!
• Question:-Do you think I can get Justin Verlander for Dan Haren straight up?
  Or do I have to add someone with Haren, like a lower tier pitcher to get Verlander?
  
  Answer:-Well it sort of depends.
  
  In public leagues a lot of the people there have no idea what they are doing, so getting Verlander for Haren and somebody else would be easy. Since Haren has the better "rank" and "O-rank" they are going to be valued higher than Verlander. In that case they would easily make that trade.
  
  On the other hand, if you get a bunch of people together who know what they are doing, Haren for Verlander is fair, but wouldn't get done. Verlander has the chance to get 18+ under 3 ERA and probably 200+ K's. Ok so they are a bit high, but I don't believe Haren would put up those same numbers.
  
  So public league, you might even be able to get a 2 for 1 since most players think that the better "O-rank" gets them the better player...Try telling that to Magglio Ordonez (ranked 4).
  
  You would win the trade if you could pull it off. Its not fair, but your getting the better end.
  
  Good luck!!
• Question:-Did Justin Verlander receive a gift from the Tigers for throwing a no-hitter?
  Since Galarraga got a new car, did Verlander get something as well? Or was it some sort of make-up gift?
  
  Answer:-Chevrolet gave Galarraga the car, not the Tigers organization.
  
  There's a difference between a no-hitter and a perfect game.
• Question:-Does anyone know how to contact Justin Verlander or Rick Porcello of the Detroit Tigers?
  I am volunteering for a non-profit and in charge of running the annual fundraiser. I was interested in contacting Verlander or Porcello for the fundraiser and I could not find any contact information regarding their booking agents. Did not know if anyone could help!
  
  Answer:-Contact the team. They can help you.
  
  Btw, if you can get them, can you get some autographs for me?
• Question:-Is there anyway to get FREE text alerts for a certain MLB Baseball Player (Justin Verlander)?
  I would like to get text alerts about how Justin Verlander has done in a game similar to ESPN text alerts...
  
  Answer:-NO!
• Question:-should i trade justin upton for justin verlander?
  i have more than enough quality outfielders( braun, manram, quentin, francouer, ellsbury, c hart and jay bruce in the minors). i was offered justin verlander for justin upton. despite verlander's struggles i am tempted to make this deal. verlander cannot be this bad, unlucky, whatever the case may be, all year, can he? if he rounds into form this trade could be huge. should i pull the trigger?
  
  Answer:-depending-are you in a keepers league?if you are definitely dont do it -both the upton brothers will be top 10 OF by next year.id youre in a regular league-dont do it whatsoever-verlander wont get that big of a turn around-the tigers offense is struggling and which means he can not get wins-and wins equals points-upton has a great team with him so its easier for him to bring in runs and score runs-hope i helped

cutler

• Question:-Cutler????
  Safe to start jay cutler in my fantasy league this week? Or pick up Anderson, who plays miami
  
  Answer:-Cutler has a bad matchup against Pittsburgh in Week 7.
  
  Cleveland is on a bye, so you'll have to play Cutler or scrounge on the waiver wire.
• Question:-Why do the Denver Broncos want to get rid of Jay Cutler?
  Im sorry but i have not been paying that much attention to the NFL during this off-season. But why am i hearing that the broncos want to trade for Cutler?
  
  I know they didn't make the playoffs this year, but in spite of an below average season, cutler definitely showed promised. Maybe he's not kissing enough ass.
  
  Answer:-Cutler has been demanding a trade before this Cassel stuff. Better to have a decent QB than a potentially* greatone who is so unhappy you wonderif that is why he is not reaching his potential.
  
  *Even happy he has not reached that potential Mel Kiper talked of.
• Question:-How does Jay Cutler play so well behind such a terrible offensive line and with a bad offense?
  Let's face it the way he played last night was the only reason why the Bears were able to hang in there with the Lions last night. If he had a better o-line and some weapons he'd probably be even better and maybe so would the Bears. Jay Cutler has sort of earned my respect a bit because of that. *Tips my hat off to the guy*.
  
  Answer:-He earned respect from me as well. He's a lot better than most people give him credit for.
• Question:-How much are Cutler desks generally worth?
  I bought a desk from a Habitat Restore and would like to get more information about it. Inside the drawers it says Cutler Desk Co. Buffalo New York. I've tried to find information online and the only results I get are for roll top desks and it is not a roll top. I think it is what you would call an executive style desk with a leather top.
  
  Answer:-Try Google.
• Question:-What would happen if I wore a Jay Cutler jersey to a Broncos game at Arrowhead?
  I might be going to a Chiefs game at Arrowhead and they are Playing the Broncos. I still have my Jay Cutler Bronco jersey and I want to wear it to the game because he is my favorite quarterback.
  Would I get yelled at or threatened by other fans?
  
  Answer:-Chiefs fans will find it funny.
  A true Broncos fan should burn his Cutler jersey.
• Question:-Was Jay Cutler actually a bright light in the dark forest that is the Chicago Bears?
  Lets face it, the Bears suck and they proved it last night. But I have a new found respect for Jay Cutler. He is definately not the problem in Chicago. That Offensive Line is the biggest problem. Jay Cutler and Matt Forte are the only good things going for that offense.
  
  Answer:-Cutler's always been great, no question, just ask Tony Scheffler and Eddie Royal. The problem has always been the garbage they surrounded him with, everyone expected him to put up 4,000 yards with an over the hill Desmond Clark and a rookie Greg Olson + no pass protection.
• Question:-who should I start this week for fantasy football? Jay cutler vs the seahawks OR brett favre vs. the cowboys?
  Which matchup is better? Favre played well last week and if it was not for CB cromartie shadowing moss all last game and some errant throws to Harvin, favre could have had a huge week 5. Cutler is playing against one of the worst pass defenses. This is a tough one. Let me know what you all think.
  
  Answer:-Only six teams have allowed more fantasy points to QBs than the Seahawks. The Seahawks usually do not play well on the road. Farve had a decent 2nd half last week, but played poorly in the 1st half. You said it yourself - Farve could have had a huge game - he didn't and it wasn't due to drops, but errant passes which is a trend this season. Favre is hurt and there's a chance he won't even play this week (elbow). I would go with Cutler.
• Question:-Who agrees with me that Jay Cutler could outgun anybody in the league?
  I believe Jay Cutler is a tremendous talent. One bad season does not mean he is a bad quarterback. Put ANY other qb in his position and watch them struggle.
  
  Answer:-LMAO!!! "One bad season"???? The kid has not had a winning record since HIGH SCHOOL!!! Look that stat up.
• Question:-Is Cutler that most worst decision making qb in the nfl presently? What do you think about the game?
  Cutler is getting time in the pocket but he's making stupid decisions. He's throwing into double or triple coverage. It's a sleeper!
  his arm isn't as strong and precise as Favre so he can't really afford to make tight passes in those little openings.
  
  Answer:-He's so overrated it's pathetic. He has NEVER played on a winning team. And his body language is atrocious. He couldn't lead a flock of flies to a pile of dogcrap.
• Question:-What do you think about the Cutler for Orton trade the Denver Broncos made?
  Do you think this trade will be McDaniel's undoing or make him worth praising? In my own opinion, I have hated watching Cutler ever since he took over as starting QB. I have always thought he was like one of those people who always blame someone else for the problems that they are making.
  
  Answer:-stupidest trade ever

verlander

• Question:-Should the Yankees start Burnett in game 3 against Verlander?
  The Yankees right now have to face Verlander tomorrow and pitch AJ in game 4. That's two likely losing scenarios. The way I see it, if they start Burnett in game 3, these two bad scenarios happen in the same game, and you can't lose the same game twice. Thoughts?
  Yeah exactly. Lose the battle to win the war. Matt gets it.
  
  Answer:-I was just thinking that earlier in the day.
• Question:-Is it fair to say that Justin Verlander is the Tigers equivalent to the Colts Peyton Manning?
  The Colts aren't a playoff team without Peyton Manning and the Tigers wouldn't be one without Justin Verlander.
  
  Answer:-no. manning plays every game - when healthy. verlander pitches in only every 5th game. no comparison
• Question:-Would you rather have Justin Verlander or Josh Johnson on your fantasy baseball team?
  I have Josh Johnson(Marlins) on my team and I am wondering if I should trade him for Justin Verlander(Tigers). Would this be a good trade for me? Why or why not?
  
  Answer:-I would rather have Verlander because Johnson is an injury risk and Verlander is still the pitcher that threw a no-hitter n the guy who went 18-6 with a 3.66 ERA
• Question:-Do you think I can get Justin Verlander for Dan Haren straight up?
  Or do I have to add someone with Haren, like a lower tier pitcher to get Verlander?
  
  Answer:-Well it sort of depends.
  
  In public leagues a lot of the people there have no idea what they are doing, so getting Verlander for Haren and somebody else would be easy. Since Haren has the better "rank" and "O-rank" they are going to be valued higher than Verlander. In that case they would easily make that trade.
  
  On the other hand, if you get a bunch of people together who know what they are doing, Haren for Verlander is fair, but wouldn't get done. Verlander has the chance to get 18+ under 3 ERA and probably 200+ K's. Ok so they are a bit high, but I don't believe Haren would put up those same numbers.
  
  So public league, you might even be able to get a 2 for 1 since most players think that the better "O-rank" gets them the better player...Try telling that to Magglio Ordonez (ranked 4).
  
  You would win the trade if you could pull it off. Its not fair, but your getting the better end.
  
  Good luck!!
• Question:-Did Justin Verlander receive a gift from the Tigers for throwing a no-hitter?
  Since Galarraga got a new car, did Verlander get something as well? Or was it some sort of make-up gift?
  
  Answer:-Chevrolet gave Galarraga the car, not the Tigers organization.
  
  There's a difference between a no-hitter and a perfect game.
• Question:-Does anyone know how to contact Justin Verlander or Rick Porcello of the Detroit Tigers?
  I am volunteering for a non-profit and in charge of running the annual fundraiser. I was interested in contacting Verlander or Porcello for the fundraiser and I could not find any contact information regarding their booking agents. Did not know if anyone could help!
  
  Answer:-Contact the team. They can help you.
  
  Btw, if you can get them, can you get some autographs for me?
• Question:-Why are so many people around here saying that Verlander didn't deserve the MVP?
  I have seen more people than I can count using the old "He only plays every 5 days" validation. While this is true that a starter with pitch somewhere around 33 games and a position player over 150 but only a moron can say that a position player will affect the outcome of a game as much as a starting pitcher will. If you were to take Verlander out of the Tigers rotation and put in an average pitcher the Tigers wouldn't have even made the playoffs.
  
  Answer:-
• Question:-Tiger fans(and others),do you think Verlander will find his groove again?
  I think he needs a better breaking ball. Maybe a nice cutter or sharper slider. The hitters are jumping on those flat fast balls. He needs a pitch to throw them off. A nice change up would be good also.I mean 95 mph fast balls are lethal-but not when the hitter expects it most of the time.We need an effective Verlander to compete this year.
  
  Answer:-If it doesn't happen soon it ain't gonna happen. I read that he and his girlfriend had broken up but by now he should be over it enough to pitch decently. I heard he gave up seven runs in yesterday's game.
• Question:-Is Verlander a virginia for not demanding the ball to pitch in ALCS game 4?
  He needs to stop acting like a virginia & start game 4 & possibly 7.
  Why dont pitchers man up like Bob Gibson & pitch on short rest anymore?
  
  Answer:-Verlander Is a Virginian because that's where he was born.
  Gibson is a Nebraskan.
• Question:-Should Verlander be given the day off tomorrow to play golf?
  Even if the Tigers win game 5 the series is basically over. Should he be given the day off?
  
  Answer:-Yep.

ncaa basketball

• Question:-NCAA Basketball?
  I am in the March Madness mood right now and I want to get some of that action so I'm debateing with my self which college basketball game should i get for the 360, NCAA March Madness 08 or College Hoops 2K8. I've looked at gameplay and the features of both of them but i still dont know which game is better. What game do you perfer?
  
  Answer:-College Hoops 2k8 is much better. Most magazines and websites willl agree with me
• Question:-NCAA basketball?
  how is ncaa college basketball structured. I mean, during the season, do they always play each team twice? How does the actual season structured?
  
  Answer:-Every conference is different. The ACC for example, some teams don't play each other even once. However, most others play home and away with each team in their conference.
• Question:-How do the NCAA basketball tournaments work?
  I don't really follow NCAA men's D-1 basketball that closely. But now, I'm in a fantasy game (Protrade) that deals with conference tournaments, an NIT tournament (never heard of that one) and the NCAA tournament. How does all of this work? Are all of these tournaments separate? Can someone please explain how all of this works, I'm really confused!
  It's protrade (http://www.protrade.com). They have fantasy games for pretty much every sport.
  
  Answer:-The teams that win each conference tournament automatically advance to the NCAA tournament. There are 65 teams that play in the NCAA Tournament. The other teams that dont win their conference have to hope they get in by having a good record.
  
  The NIT tournament is for the teams that are good, but not good enough to make the NCAA tournament.
  
  Also in the NCAA tourmanet every team is seeded either 1-16 with the better team having the higher seed.
  
  What fantasy game are you in? What's the website?
• Question:-ncaa basketball?
  with florida and OSU playing in the basketball championship does this make it the first time that the same schools met in both football and basketball championship?
  
  Answer:-Yes. At least in the same year from what the ESPN guys were saying last night, but I take their information with a grain of salt :-)
• Question:-How can you trade players in ncaa basketball 09?
  In ncaa basketball 09 ps3 version i started to play a quick match with my team. I realized that the team that i was on could'nt play very well and decided to trade my player. After skimming through the game no matter what i did i couldn't find out how to trade players in the game. Can anyone tell me how you can trade players in ncaa basketball 09?
  
  Answer:-I don't think you can trade in college.
• Question:-What is the record number of upsets in a NCAA basketball tournement?
  For example a 16 seed upsetting a 1 seed or 9 beating 8, ect. This would the total upsets in a years NCAA mens basketball tournement?
  
  Answer:-this one will probably break that record
• Question:-How many possible outcomes are there in the NCAA basketball tournament?
  Mathematically speaking, how many different possible outcomes are there in the NCAA men's basketball tournament? There are 64 (65 counting one-play in game) teams arranged in four different brackets. Each bracket starts with 16 teams. I am too lazy to figure out the math. Can someone explain the number of possible outcomes mathematically?
  
  Answer:-A great question at a wonderful time of the year!
  
  First notice that the 64 teams play 63 total games: 32 games in the
  first round, 16 in the second round, 8 in the 3rd round, 4 in the
  regional finals, 2 in the final four, and then the national
  championship game.
  
  32+16+8+4+2+1= 63
  
  Now let's answer an easier question.
  
  If there were four teams, and they played three games, how many
  different ways would there be to fill out a bracket? You can write
  them down. There are only eight of them. Where do that eight come
  from? Well, there are three games, and you have two possible choices
  for each game. Hence, 2^3 = 8 possibilities.
  
  Now back to the real tournament. Since there are 63 games to be
  played, and you have two choices at each stage in your bracket, there
  are 2^63 different ways to fill out the bracket.
  
  2^63 = 9,223,372,036,854,775,808
  
  That's more than nine quintillion possibilities.
• Question:-What is the best way to play ncaa basketball if you didn't play high school basketball in the USA?
  Ok i'm from the Bahamas and i've played high school basketball in my school. I want to play college basketball in the ncaa. Is it best for me to go to a junior college and play 1 year in the njcaa then go on to the ncaa.
  
  Answer:-I would say start out playing division 2 or even 3 depending on our skill level but i say don't ever be short on your confidence because anything could happen just believe in yourself and train and you could be the one i would be watching in the final four
  
  Advice: Never sell yourself short because big things could always happen

tj houshmandzadeh

• Question:-TJ Houshmandzadeh...?
  He's starting to act just like Chad Johnson, wanting to go to a different team if he doesn't get more money.
  
  Will the Bengals restructure his contract to give him more money?
  
  If they don't, will they put the Franchise Tag on him next year?
  
  Answer:-he is still productive but the nfl is leaning heavily towards bringing in younger guys----veteran leadership doesnt mean as much as it did 10 years ago so my answer is no i dont think they will restructure his contract or franchise him----he will be cut loose after this season and i predict alzheimer al will sign him for too much money
• Question:-Why does everybody think TJ Houshmandzadeh is all of a sudden better than Chad Johnson?
  I understand that Chad Johnson is not committed to the Bengals but he will bring his A game and Chad Johnson is absolutely better.
  
  But thats my opinion, if you think TJ Houshmandzadeh is better please tell me why
  
  Answer:-Because ESPN told them so.
  
  Same thing happened in Indy when Reggie Wayne started getting stats. You've got to be delusion to think that Wayne is better than Marvin Harrison, and yet there are plenty of people who believe that.
• Question:-Question! Is the Trade Jerry Porter, Michael Turner for TJ Houshmandzadeh and Kenny Watson a good trade?
  Turner for TJ Houshmandzadeh and Kenny Watson a good trade?
  I am the one doing the trade (porter and turner is on my team) and btw my recivers are...
  Terrel Ownes
  Wes Walker
  Porter or if trade Houshmandzadeh
  
  and my RB's are
  Turner or Watson if I do the trade
  Earnest Graham
  Julius Jones
  
  What do you guys think?
  
  Answer:-Porter just had surgery that is going to keep him out of camp and ALL 4 preseason games. Who knows when he will return. If you have him and can trade him, do it right away. TJ and Kenny would be a great pick up here
• Question:-Should I trade Drew Brees and TJ Houshmandzadeh for Anquan Boldin and Brett Favre?
  I am in a point per reception league where receptions, passing completions, carries, etc. count. I am in second place. Do I give up TJ Houshmandzadeh and Drew Bres for Anquan Boldin and Brett Favre?
  
  If not then who else should I ask for in addition?
  
  Answer:-No Drew is on an MVP like season this year
• Question:-How well will Matt Hasselbeck and Tj Houshmandzadeh work together in this new season?
  I think a lot of people tend to under estimate both of these players. Houshmandzadeh is a very physical receiver who has the most receptions in the last 3 years over any other receiver. Not to mention he has not had the best QB throwing to him when palmer is out. And hasselbeck when not hurt is a great QB. I honestly feel this duo will be a top 10 this year.
  
  Answer:-Matt Hasselbeck and Tj Houshmandzadeh is going to work well this season becuse they look great togeather in the preseason
• Question:-Should i start Calvin Johnson or TJ Houshmandzadeh in Week 10?
  Seattle (Houshmandzadeh) is at Arizona and Detroit (Johnson) is at Minnesota. Im 8-1 in my league right now so this battle is important and im not sure if Johnson is 100% healthy nor has he been very effective. Any inputs?
  
  Answer:-I would start TJ Housh against Arizona, despite his so-far lackluster season. Calvin Johnson is the only weapon on Detroit's team, you know Minnesota will keep him in check.
• Question:-Who to start Dwayne Bowe or TJ Houshmandzadeh?
  I think TJ is considered the better player, but he has done very little for me this season (he did have one good game but of course that was the only game he was on my bench). Dwayne Bowe is decent, but probably won't get big points. What do you think? Thanks!
  
  Answer:-id go with housh, the jaguars will do some scoring and it force the bengals to air it out just to keep up
• Question:-Should I start TJ Houshmandzadeh, Chris Chambers or Muhsin Muhammad?
  I need to start two of them and my other receiver is Steve Smith.
  Should I hold out hope for Housh with Palmer's injured elbow?
  
  Answer:-I'd go with Chambers. Housh has a tough matchup, and a QB that isn't living up to expectations. Muhammad just isn't in league with these two. Chambers has the best producing QB on his side, and he has a delicious match up going back to play at Miami for the first time since he was traded. Between all of this, I don't see anything against Chambers' value.
• Question:-Should I start Brandon Marshall or TJ Houshmandzadeh this week?
  Housh is playing against the Lions this week, but I feel Marshall will get lots of passes if Pittsburgh stuffs the run and Denver is playing from behind. Who should I start?
  I'm starting Greg Jennings and Mike Sims-Walker. I just need to decide on my WR3 spot between Marshall and Houshmandzahdeh.
  
  Answer:-I hope you've got a third choice. Those two will net you little.
• Question:-Should I start TJ Houshmandzadeh or Vincent Jackson for week 2?
  
  
  Answer:-I would go with Houshmanzadeh. He will have a better catching game against the San Fransisco defense.
  
  Hope this helps.

cc sabathia

• Question:-How may games did CC Sabathia Pitch that the Indians Won?
  How may games did CC Sabathia Pitch that the Indians Won in the 2007 season?
  
  I know his record in 2007 was 19-7, but that does not answer the question because the tribe could have been losing when Sabathia left the game. If another pitcher comes and and wins the game, the W goes to the second pitcher. That is one example of how the Tribe could win without Sabathia earning a W. However, he still pitched that game and the Tribe won.
  
  Please provide some proof or documentation with your answer. Thank you.
  
  Answer:-the Indians were 23-11 in games started by CC.
• Question:-CC Sabathia?
  How many wins will CC get this year, what will his ERA be, and will he win the Cy Young?
  wrestleing fanatic, he already has 11 win so 10 is impossible.
  
  Answer:-CC always seems to get run support from his team, and he pitches a lot of innings...I see him finishing the season with 23 wins (barring injury) a 3.12 ERA and the Cy Young Award.
• Question:-What glove is cc sabathia have in the subway commercial?
  what kind of glove does cc sabathia have in that commerical, the black and white nike one he's wearing?
  
  Answer:-I believe he have a black and white Nike glove.
• Question:-why is cc sabathia so good i havent seen anything that imperresed me but his stats prove it.?
  how does cc sabathia get the strikeouts,everytime i watch him he is like any ordinary pitcher but his stats prove it. is it his repition on fastball changeup or what. oh and whats his best pitch.
  
  Answer:-He's notorious for being a slow starter in the beginning of the season. Give him a chance. He will get better.
• Question:-in fantasy baseball, should i trade bobby jenks and recieve cc sabathia?
  in fantasy baseball, should i trade bobby jenks and recieve cc sabathia. i need starting pitching and i have 3 other closers besides jenks.
  
  Answer:-Even though I am a big White Sox fan, I would have to say that Sabathia is a much better fantasy player than Jenks.
  The only reason why it would be a bad trade would be if you get an insane amount of points for a save.
  But using a standard scoring system or a head to head league, Sabathia will put up much better numbers and he will give you MANY more strikeouts, IP, and wins, and a similar ERA just above 3.00.
  Good Luck!
• Question:-What would you give for CC Sabathia?
  Since CC Sabathia is getting shopped by the Cleveland Indians, how much would you give up if you were the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, or Cubs?
  He definitely is overweight, but he isn't old. He turns 28 in July.
  
  Answer:-I believe that any one of these teams would benefit from adding Sabathia. He had a real tough start which makes some of his numbers look inflated, but he's still a quality (arguably star) pitcher. The real danger with Sabathia is how much longer he will be at the top of his game. He's not getting any younger and who knows what french fry will break the proverbial camels back. The Yankees certainly have the most need to add Sabathia. Their pitching is atrocious and they have the pocketbook to sign CC. However, if the Yankees do acquire him, it is almost certain that the age/health concerns will come to fruition. This, of course, would fall right in line with the Yankees apparent philosophy of signing washed up stars to bloated multi-million dollar contracts, only to finish with a .500 record behind the Red Sox and (yes, this year) the Rays. That being said, if the goal is to win today, I would be willing to give up some considerable young talent to acquire Sabathia if I were Brian Cashman.
• Question:-Who do you think had the better overall start: Ben Sheets, or CC Sabathia?
  Pitching:
  
  
  CC Sabathia: 9 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K.
  
  Ben Sheets: 9 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K.
  
  
  Batting:
  
  CC: 1-4, 1 K.
  
  Big Ben: 1-4, RBI, 1 K.
  
  Answer:-Sheeter. He needed a good start. The Nat's are a good to to recover against.
• Question:-Who thinks CC Sabathia will flop on his face in the playoffs again?
  There go the Yankees buying their team again. CC will choke in the playoffs like he did for the Tribe and the Brew Crew. Pending that the Yankees get there.
  
  Answer:-Ok keep convincing yourself of that if it helps you sleep better,keep saying cc fails, cc fails, cc fails,.But here in ny we're all saying
  CC WILL BE JUST FINE!!! LOL LOL LOL
• Question:-Why doesn't CC Sabathia want to become a Yankee?
  Let's forget the team. At $140 million, does it matter what team you go to? Apparently the answer is yes for CC Sabathia--but why? Do you guys think he is afraid of the big stage?
  
  Answer:-CC wants the west coast and to be able to hit. With the Yankees, there's too much media exposure and everything that's done is magnified more than with other teams.
  
  Personally, I think if he wanted the Yankees, he would have signed this contract already. Cashman is meeting him in Las Vegas, and if it doesn't get done, I think they pull back their offer.
• Question:-would a trade for CC Sabathia and giving up Matt Kemp be a good idea?
  Ive got an outfielder on my bench (Bourne) that could take his place and I really need the pitching. Other than Lester, Papelbon, Rivera, my pitchers are scrubs. CC would really boost my pitching.
  
  Answer:-When you reduce your stats from Kemp to Bourne, you will be in shock. If you were OF rich, I could see it but you can't afford to make that deal. I don't mind trading a player who is worth more for a lesser player if it bolsters my lineup but this doesn't in the long run. Pass on it.

• Question:-What Eric johnson album should I buy for my boyfriend?
  I want't to buy an Eric Johnson cd for his birthday cause he really likes his music, and the music shop near us only has two albums - Ah via Musicom and Venus Isle or something like that. Please tell me which one is better?
  
  Answer:-You really can't go wrong with either. Venus isle is alot more mellow than Ah via musicom. So if you want an album for him thats has more rockin' and upbeat songs (which isn't by a whole lot) you should go with Ah via musicom.
• Question:-What Effect does Eric Johnson use for Cliffs of Dover?
  What Effect\pedal does Eric Johnson use for cliffs of dover? And what is the tuning?
  
  Answer:-Tuning is G Major. For techniques he uses Hybrid picking and string skipping. For effects He probably just uses a wah-wah petal or his guitar's tremolo arm a lot.
• Question:-How do I get that clean, yet distorted tone of Eric Johnson, using the Fender Stratocaster?
  I know that Guitarist, Eric Johnson, uses pedals, but I'm pretty confident that those aren't the answer. Is it an amp?
  
  Answer:-it is a combination of the amp, the pickups on the guitar and the pedals he uses (pedals mostly). I had the same problem before with a different artist and it was all the pedals.

• Question:-Help on learning Cliffs Of Dover by Eric Johnson?
  I am learning Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson for a talent show. I've pretty much got the whole song down, except for the hybrid picking part just before the end of the intro solo. I just can't seem to play it fast enough. If I try to play it any faster than I can, it sounds real sloppy. Any tips?
  
  Answer:-This might sound dumb...but there's no shortcut to practice..u need to be at a certain level to learn a particular song....if u're sounding sloppy then u need to practice more...it means u're not yet there with the technique..and that technique doesnt come in a few days
• Question:-in what song does eric johnson battle against a harmonica?
  a guy at a guitar shop told me that there was a song that eric johnson did where he had a guitar battle against a harmonica. but i cant seem to find it!
  
  Answer:-Is it "Righteous", from "Ah Via Musicom?"
• Question:-What can you suggest as far as Eric Johnson albums?
  .
  I just heard about Eric Johnson -- but know nothing about him.
  
  Please enlighten me &/or suggest a nice CD to start with :)
  
  Thanks :)
  .
  
  Answer:-Hey,
  Ah Via Musicom as Ponce said is really great (I'm so jealous BTW).
  The song Venus Isle (from the album of the same name) to me is magical. On the same album there are some more really great songs like SRV, Manhattan and Pavilion.
  He has some awesome acoustic songs, Song for Life, Song for George and Once Upon a Time in Texas, and he does some Simon and Garfunkel covers really nicely.
  I also quite like his new album Bloom, it has some really nice songs, and it's really diverse, so your bound to like some of them at least.

• Question:-Would trading a White Eric Johnson Stratocaster for a Gibson Les Paul Classic-Honey Burst be a good trade?
  Or should I just sell the Eric Johnson Stratocaster which is basically a brand new guitar and how much should I sell it for?
  
  Answer:-If both guitars are in good shape with no problems it would be a great trade. The gibson is worth a lot more money than the strat. As far as selling the strat , or any good guitar for that matter, you will never get what it's really worth. People that are looking to spend that much on a guitar will usually buy a new one, no matter how nice the used one is. If it were me and the les paul is in nice shape with no problems I would definitely make the trade. Simply because then Gibson has a much higher trade in value than the strat or if I decided to sell it I could get a lot more for the Gibson than the strat. Now , as far as keeping one or the other that's a whole different story. These guitars are two totally different animals with totally different tones and one would have to figure that into the equation as well. Money wise the les is the most expensive of the two so the trade would be fine but tone wise it's a matter of what you like.
  By the way , we are talking Gibson here , right? If it's an Epiphone I wouldn't even think about trading.
• Question:-What are the lyrics to "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson?
  I was sitting all alone one day pondering the mysteries of the universe and so on and so forth when such a question just popped into my solitary mental state. I was not sure what the lyrics were for Eric Johnson's song Cliffs of Dover. I sat in contemplation for quite awhile trying to remember how it went but then i fell asleep.
  
  Answer:-It's instrumental, there are no lyrics.
• Question:-Does anyone else think Eric Johnson will be a good starting TE?
  I have two TE: LJ Smith (PHI) and Eric Johnson (NO)
  
  I dont need two TE, who would you drop?
  
  Answer:-Drop Eric Johnson because he is not going to be a playmaker this year. LJ Smith has at least proved that he can play well in the NFL and i would recommend keeping him as McNabb tends to like him.

matt holliday

• Question:-Matt Holliday?
  Where Will Matt Holliday wind up after the all star break?
  
  Answer:-I doubt the Cubs or Brewers could get him..
  I think Tampa Bay should go after Holliday.He'd still rake in that lineup.The Dodgers may try to get him as well.If this happens,and he's on your fantasy team,I'd try to unload him
  quickly.~~~~~~~Good Luck!
  Edit: OOPS,I thought this was in the fantasy sports section,
  my bad.
• Question:-matt holliday..................?
  if i have a rookie game used bat by matt holliday from when he was on the midland rockhounds, how much do you think it would be worth? (it has his name(matt holliday),number(5), and team(midland rockhounds) that he was on, on the bat)
  
  Answer:-To get a good idea of the value do a search for it on ebay to see what it is going for.
• Question:-What are you thoughts on the Matt Holliday signing?
  I am a huge Cardinals fan, and I really like the 7 year contract that the Cardinals signed Matt Holliday to. Holliday will be 37 whe the contract is up, and at the price of 16.5 million a season, he will be worth every penny from ages 30-37. The Yankess have A-Rod signed til he is 42! I would much rather have Holliday is his prime paying him 16.5 mill, than be paying A-Rod 25+ million a seaosn til he is 42! So what are your thoughts on the signing?
  
  Answer:-Although we did have to pay a lot of money, I think it was a good deal. We'll be able to keep Pujols as well.
• Question:-If the Giants got Matt Holliday would they have been closer to the playoffs?
  Since the giants have no offense and is like 5 games behind now.I think if they got Matt holliday there would be more offense and maybe they would actually make the playoffs.What do you think ANSWER!
  
  Answer:-Of course they would have been closer to the playoffs with one more big bat in their lineup. The Giants have lost a lot of close games this year when all they needed was the hit to win the game.
  
  But, they didn't get Holliday, Garko was a bust and Sanchez was always injured. They'll be watching the playoffs at home.
  
  The Giants are going to regret giving Tim Alderson away for injured goods: Freddie Sanchez.
• Question:-What are the chances of the Red Sox trading for Matt Holliday this offseason?
  I've heard that the Red Sox are somewhat interested in trading for Matt Holliday. What is the possibility of this happening.
  
  Answer:-Not likely. Sluggers they have. Pitchers they need. These are not the Yawkey-era Sox, who automatically start slobbering every time they see a righthanded slugger and imagine him poking 'em over the Green Monster, and when he gets there he gets hurt, strikes out too much and ends up turning doubles into singles with that wall instead of fly outs into homers. They have different management with a different plan, and Holliday really isn't a fit for them.
  
  The Rockies may do a salary dump with him, but he won't be going to Boston.
• Question:-Is Matt Holliday for Brian McCann a good trade in my fantasy baseball league?
  I have Jose Reyes, Cole Hamels, Evan Longoria, Matt Holliday and Justin Morneau as my keepers in a 12 team 5x5 roto league. Would Matt Holliday for Brian McCann be a good trade based on Holliday no longer playing in Coors Field and the scarcity of good catchers?
  
  Answer:-Definitely not
• Question:-Who thinks (honestly) that Matt Holliday SHOULD have won MVP instead of Jimmy Rollins?
  Matt Holliday had better numbers and his team went to the World Series. Come on now, that is a slap in the face to give it to Jimmy Rollins. I guess they felt sorry for him. We all know the TRUE MVP is Matt Holliday.
  
  Answer:-With all my heart & soul.
  
  Lets break it down.
  
  Holliday : .340 Average.
  
  Rollins .296 Average
  
  Holliday : 36 HR's
  
  Rollins : 30 HR's
  
  Holliday : 137 RBI's in a Rockies lineup thats only basic star is Todd Helton.
  
  Rollins : 94 RBI's in a lineup that includes Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and Aaron Rowand.

  HOLLIDAY WAS JUST BETTER!
• Question:-How would you feel if you were Matt Holliday right now?
  All Holliday had to do was catch a line drive to left and the cards win. he drops it. dodgers end up winning and Holliday ruins a great pitching performance by Wainwright. i bet he feels pretty stupid right now. so would you feel if you were Matt Holliday right now?
  
  Answer:-I'd feel numb and embarrassed. Hard to face the media who are going to pin the goat horns on you for making an error. Even though any of the next batters who came to the plate could have made the third out. Does anything about that last sentence make sense to the many who are going to blame one guy for this loss?
• Question:-Where Can I Watch Or Download Full Baseball Games? Padres Rockies Matt Holliday Game?

• Question:-Why are AL teams interested in Matt Holliday?
  3 questions:
  
  1. Why are AL teams interested in Matt Holliday? He wasn't that good in the AL when he was on Oakland, so why do AL teams want to sign him when he's not good in the AL, and he's asking for 18 million a year?
  
  2. What trade brought Holliday to the A's?
  
  3. What trade brought Holliday to the Cardinals?
  
  Answer:-A lot of free agents have trouble when switching leagues due to not knowing the pitchers and ballparks. They usually play alot better in the 2nd year. AL teams are looking for a good DH.
  
  He went to Oakland as a free agent.
  
  Traded to the cards for the minor league prospects.

albert pujols

• Question:-Albert Pujols?
  St.Louis Cardinals 1st basemen Albert Pujols injurys left calf in todays game in the 7th inning. How much hurt is this to the Cards now. Wainwright goes on DL and now Pujols injurys his calf and if I remember right he injuried his right calf a few years back and missed over a month of ball. Can Cards cont.. winning ways without there biggest bat in Pujols?
  
  Answer:-i knew this day would come. i'm glad he's on the dl. if u single handedly take out two opposing players in the same inning....he got what he deserved. bastard even smiled after he did it
• Question:-ALBERT Pujols?
  pujols just had the worst season of his career
  
  32 HR
  103 RBI
  .327 AVG
  
  there are 100's of players in the league that would DIE just to have one season that good!
  
  
  if Pujols stays healthy and plays another 10-12 year..i think he will wnd up being the all time
  HR hitter
  RBI leader
  
  what do you think?
  
  Answer:-5 straight years at 30+ HRs, 100+ RBIs, .300+ average, and this season his streak of 100+ runs scored was snapped.
  
  He had 99.
  
  He is a baseball god.
• Question:-albert pujols?
  why is albert not playing first base tonight
  
  Answer:-I checked the Cardianls website, but it didn't say anything about it. Players just need daysoff sometimes.
• Question:-What do you think about the decline in statistics by Albert Pujols?
  Cardinals fans and those that follow Albert Pujols what do you think has caused his drop in offensive numbers? He is down in HR, RBI, Runs, and his AVE is slightly lower. I hope this is just a phase and he will bounce back soon and maybe next season he will again have his usually high numbers. He has played every game and I can only remember one game he didn't get to bat (he came in late for defense). It does look as though he will have more walks this year than any other year but we are talking about 12-15 more than previous totals. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on with Pujols?
  
  Answer:-I expected a decline from the very start. He's a great hitter, but it helps to be in good lineup. Long gone are Larry Walker, Reggie Sanders and Edmond's ability to put up numbers.
  
  The offense has been getting weaker and weaker over the last few years and finally it's come to the point were it's gets too difficult for one player to carry the load. Last year Pujols was the only player on the team with over 25 Home Run and the only player with 100+ RBI's.
  
  Here's the Cardinals numbers in the first half over the last few years. You can see easily see the decline.
  
  2004 - 108 HR, 455 Runs, .276 AVG
  2005 - 97 HR, 447 Runs, .271 AVG
  2006 - 87 HR, 440 Runs, .279 AVG
  2007 - 70 HR, 368 Runs, .267 AVG
• Question:-ALbert Pujols....................?
  If Pujols does not sign with the cardinals after tomorrow, is he then a free agent, or is he 100% for sure playing for them this year?
  So theres NO chance of him not being on 1B for the cards on opening day?
  
  Answer:-His current contract runs through the end of the 2011 season. He will become a free agent at the end of the 2011 World Series. He will play for the Cardinals this season to satisfy his contract.
  
  Add:
  Pujols has a no trade contract with the Cardinals.
  "Even if the sides don’t reach agreement by tomorrow (Feb 16), the Cardinals would retain exclusive negotiating rights with Pujols from the end of the 2011 regular season until five days after the World Series."

• Question:-Is Albert Pujols the fastest player to get to 400 homeruns?
  I know he is the 3rd youngest, that is not what I'm asking. I'm wondering in a basis of games played. So my question should be did it take Albert Pujols less "games" to get to 400 home runs then KGJR or A Rod?
  
  Answer:-Pujols hit his first in 2001 and so it took him 9 years to get to 400 home runs. you do the math.
  
  Rock Firestorm: It's not 10 complete idiot. The year is still going, so don't be a wiseazz.
• Question:-What are the chances that we see Albert Pujols traded for Ryan Howard straight up at the trade deadline?
  The Cardinals don't look as though they are going to be able to afford Albert Pujols. Ryan Howard is already under contract for less than what Albert Pujols wants. If things don't work out, what are the chances we see this trade at the trade deadline?
  
  Answer:-0.
  
  I know that this was mentioned as a trade rumor before last season, but it was never anything serious. It was more like something that a Phillies executive mentioned during a brainstorming session when an ESPN reporter happened to be present.
  
  First and foremost: the Cardinals want to keep Pujols, and I am almost certain they will.
  
  Even if they want to unload him, this is not a realistic trade. First of all, teams usually don't trade one hitter for another of the same type. Both are power hitting first basemen. Neither would fill any sort of different niche that either team lacks. Second, it would be silly for the Phillies to give up a guy they just signed to a 5 year contract extension for a guy who will be a free agent after this year. Likewise, it would be silly for the Cardinals to trade away Pujols for a guy who is getting paid $25 million per year anyway!
  
  Most importantly, if Pujols does get traded (and he won't) it would be for prospects. A lot of them. It is extremely rare for one veteran to get traded for another veteran star.
• Question:-How does Albert Pujols hit sooo many homeruns without taking steriods,I want to be like him,whats his secret?
  Please,when I grow up I want to try out for mlb.MY QUESTION IS,How is Albert soo strong and hit alot of homeruns,how come he can do it and ortiz and rodriguez cant?What type of weights pujols lifts and does he drink a powder protein shake??Please I want to know how he hits alot of homeruns without taking steriods
  
  Answer:-how do you know hes not taking steroids?
• Question:-How much can I sell my St. Louis Cardinals Albert Pujols autograph baseball for?
  It is a Collector's Edition Baseball, official ball.
  Rawlings official supplier of baseballs for Major League Baseball. It is in ment condition and was autographed by Albert Pujols around 2001 in red ink. Still in the Box.
  
  Answer:-Don't sell your baseball, get it authenticated and insured. Albert Pujols is destined to be a hall of famer. At his current pace he will break alot of records including career HR's and RBI's. Trust me 12 yrs from now that baseball will be worth at least 100 times what its authenticated value is today, and its value will only go up. You will thank yourself if you put that ball in a safety deposit box and forget about it until you see him being inducted into the hall of fame. Wish I had one.
• Question:-Why does Albert Pujols whear a black t shirt under his jersy?
  Why does Albert Pujols whear a black t shirt under his jersy and the rest of the team have red?
  
  Answer:-Because he wants to and can.
  
  Maybe its comfort.
  
  Noone knows...

john lackey

• Question:-John Lackey?
  Would anyone argue that John Lackey is the best pitcher in baseball right now. Johan is somewhat strugglling....I'd take Lackey if i need a win. You?
  Beckett's the argument...but Lackey is so much better....he's a strong "Texan"
  
  Answer:-Peavey's the best right now. 7 wins, 1.68, former ERA leader, former K leader. Beckett's up there 8-0.
  
  But, Santana has been the bes tpitcher in the majors over the past few years. Struggling for Santana is 3.21. He always turns it up after the break. So, if your team needed a win, Santana would be the best bet.
• Question:-How much would a John Lackey autographed baseball sell for?
  I got the signature in November of 2007. I have a picture with John Lackey and I as he was signing it. Any ideas how much it could get?
  
  Answer:-It really depends on how much someone wants it. A John Lackey fan would no doubt pay more for it.
• Question:-In fantasy baseball would it be a good trade for me to trade away John Lackey for Joey Votto and Jermaine Dye?
  I have a pitching oriented team, including Jake Peavy, Scott Kazmir, John Danks, Tim Lincecum, Javier Vasquez, Duchscherer, Brett Myers, Billy Wagner, Jair Jurjenns and Ben Sheets. So I have a very solid pitching lineup. Would it be a good trade for me to trade Lackey for two players with power upside?
  
  Answer:-You have an outstanding pitching staff, with Peavy, Lincecum, Vasquez, and Jurrjens, so this is a good trade for you.
  
  You're only giving up one starter and you're getting two solid bats in return with Dye and Votto.
• Question:-How do the Angels expect to win a championship without John Lackey?
  Jesus F Christ am I pissed. I love it that they got Matsui but why not pay Lackey what he's worth. Not real happy about Figgins not getting paid either but losing Lackey is a debacle.
  
  Answer:-The Angels don't rely on their pitching to win games; they rely on their offense. Anyway, in terms of stats, Lackey was not the best pitcher for the Angels last year. Weaver was. Plus, the playoffs don't start tomorrow. They still have a few months to trade for an ace if they feel they need it.
• Question:-Why are people criticizing John Lackey for divorcing his wife because she got cancer?
  I think he has every right to because that's not who he married. If he wanted to marry someone with cancer he would have done that but he married someone who didn't have cancer. I think I would stick with them if that happened to my wife but Lackey is a baseball player and he has more options plus she is dragging down his career.
  
  Answer:-If John Lackey had the same ERA but was playing for the Royals, no one would even know about this story.
• Question:-Can anyone tell me why John Lackey did not get his stats from Monday added to my matchup?
  I play Yahoo! Fantasy and it is a very big week for me. However, Lackey did not have his stats added even after three days (Yes, I DID start him). Please tell me what can I do.
  
  Answer:-Contact Yahoo. But do you really want his stats?
• Question:-How does John Lackey get ejected from a game after throwing only 2 pitches?
  Somebody wanna explain that to me?
  
  Answer:-His first pitch went behind Ian Kinsler. His second pitch hit Kinsler. I think it is ridiculous, but also really funny. The ump definitely overreacted.
• Question:-What are the chances of seeing John Lackey in Mets uniforms next year?
  What a perfect position it would be for him to come into the Mets rotation as the number 2 starter, behind Johan Santana. I'm sure were going to be on the market for a quality starting pitcher. I say if we have the money, stretch it out and pick up a Joel Pinero or Jason Marquis while you're at it. Starting pitching is a huge spot for us to be concerned with. Oliver Perez, and Mike Pelfrey are stable pitchers, so it's CRITICAL that we get some new arms.
  Correction, NOT stable.
  
  Answer:-The mets could be a world series team if they improve the pitching. They need to have a number 2 pitcher who can take the heat off of santana.
• Question:-If the Mets acquire John Lackey and Matt Holliday will they be able to get to the playoffs?
  BQ: If they acquire those players would they make it to the World Series?
  BQ2: Would they have a better record than the Yankees and the Phillies, their two biggest rivals?
  The Mets have all the capabilities to acquire these two players, so don't say that the Mets don't have enough money. Also I am assuming they will be healthy throughout the entire season, so answer from that perspective.
  
  Answer:-Well I am a big Mets fan and I know the sucked last year but they had every single starter hurt at one point or another besides Castillo. Also much of the rotation was banged up. So right there they will be better. While they will improve they still need more pitching because behind Santana they suck. So while Holliday is a great player they could play Fernando Martinez or someone else in leftfield. I think they would be much better if they got another average pitcher in addition to Lackey. They would have a rotation of Santana, Lackey, Marquis/Piniero, Perez and Pelfrey. They already have plenty of all-star hitters so they should be ok if everyone stays healthy. But if there team looked like that than they would have a shot at the division but may make just the wild card since the Phillies are a great team. After last season if they win 85 games it is a great season so be patient.
  
  *For those who say the Mets have no money you are wrong. Delgado, Putz, Schneider and several others are free agents. By the way Minaya never lost money to Madoff he actually gained about 15 million from the investment and you can look it up
• Question:-Is John lackey the perfect example on how Win and Losses are a bad way to judge a pitcher?
  Boston pink fans are raving on how the guy is 8-3.... BUT LOOK AT HIS ERA!! LMAO!! 18M FOR THAT GARBAGE?? WOW.
  
  Answer:-No, the best example is Derek Lowe. At least, the Red Sox has consistent run outputs. How come Derek can get 8 wins with ERA about 5?
  
  Plus, Kawakami’s pitching stats other than the W-L record is very similar to Lowe’s. He got average run support for about 3 runs per game. Lowe received about 10 runs per game. Remember, they pitching for the same team.
  
  Normally, I support looking at W-L record but those two are just ridiculous.

• Question:-How can I get Maurice Jones Drew's autograph after a Jacksonville Jaguars game?
  I'm 13 and would love to get my Maurice Jones-Drew jersey signed by MJD himself. I know where the players exit is but he is the only one who sneaks out another exit. Does anyone know where I can get his autograph? Thank you so much for your help!
  
  Answer:-if he takes a different exit, its so you won't bother him. he will give his autograph to a company who will then print his autograph onto merchandise, like football cards or bobble heads, but probably not his jersey.

  Should I start Maurice Jones Drew against Buffalo or Kevin Smith against GB on my fantasy team this week? Standard scoring. I am also starting Adrian Peterson and Earnest Graham. It is a 2 back and 1 flex league.
  
  Answer:-Kevin Smith, he was one of the few bright spots for Detroit last week!
• Question:-Would you start jerious norwood or maurice jones-drew?
  Would you start jerious norwood because Michael Turner is a little dinged up or maurice jones-drew this week. Im starting turner regardless but jones-drew has not produce that many points this season, and atlanta is playing the worst run defense in the league.
  
  Answer:-Are you guys insane.. MJD has torched the colts in the past and with no bob sanders at safty that helps even more.
• Question:-Fantasy football playoffs: should I start Maurice Jones-Drew or Steve Slaton?
  for NFL Week 15, should I start Maurice Jones-Drew or Steve Slaton for my #2 RB position (I already started Matt Forte for my #1).
  
  There are a lot of intriguing variables in this decision, so I just wanted some other opinions. Thanks!
  
  Answer:-i have Slaton and am benching him. Tennessee is too good, and the packers are 27th against the run. go with Maurice Jones Drew he is a TD machine. green Bay has been torn apart by the Texans and Panthers the last two weeks. they can't stop anyone!!!!
  
  and another option is to pick up Rhodes against Detroit if he is available in your league. projected 15 points. Addai is probably out this week

• Question:-Where will Carson Palmer start the 2011 NFL season?
  He has said he wants out of Cinci but the owner says there are no plan to trade Palmer.
  
  BQ: Would any trade of Carson Palmer also include his younger brother Jordan Palmer?
  
  Answer:-He will very likely end up with the Cardinals, they are thirsty from the super bowl two years ago and the dude they have now has done nothing.
  
  BQ: No they need clip board holders in cinci too.
• Question:-Should I start Carson Palmer or Tony Romo this week for fantasy football?
  Carson Palmer is clearly a better QB, but the Bengals are playing the Ravens this week and the Cowboys are playing the Giants. I just don't know who would score more fantasy points.
  
  Answer:-PALMER. The ravens D took a big hit when thomas moved on. It will be easier for teams to block ray lewis now and the ravens secondary is getting old. Look for Johnson and Palmer to have a Big game.
• Question:-Should I start Carson Palmer vs. Baltimore or Kyle Orton vs. a weakened New England secondary?
  I feel as if Carson Palmer will get shut down in Baltimore by Ed Reed and company. Whereas, Kyle Orton has two unbelievably strong Wide outs this year and appears to be doing well.
  
  Answer:-I would go with Kyle Orton. I feel he has a much better matchup and will be decent enough this week against the Patriots defense.
  
  Hope this helps.
• Question:-Who should I start in fantasy football week two? I have Matt Schaub and Carson palmer?
  Last week carson had a great week and matt sat back and let arian foster do the damage. Matt schaub against washington? Or Carson Palmer against Baltimore.
  
  Answer:-Id go with Schuab, Foster was used in week 1 to keep manning off the field, thats the only reason they used him so much. Now in Week 2 he'll set up great play action now that foster is a big threat.
  
  Im watching the Ravens game now and the Jets arent having any type of passing game at all. Although Palmer does have Owens and Ochocinco, you do have to remember that the patriots arent a very good passing defence so he wont have nearly as many points this week.
• Question:-Should I start Matt Cassel over Carson Palmer in week 2?
  Should I start Mass Cassel over Carson Palmer? Cassel is unproven, but Palmer is a shaky start against Texans defense. My gut says Palmer. What do you think?
  
  Answer:-Yes, start Cassel over Palmer. Palmer will continue to struggle this week. I think you mean Titans Defense. The Texans have a bye this week.
• Question:-Do you think Carson Palmer would come out of retirement and accept a trade to the Raiders?
  With Campbell injured of course Raiders need a QB. Carson Palmer retired solely because he wanted a trade and didn't want to play for the Bengals anymore
  
  David Garrard revealed he needs back surgery so won't be an option and there isn't a ton of options unless Brett Favre comes out of retirement again lol
  
  Do you think Carson Palmer would come out of retirement to play for the Raiders if he could?
  
  Answer:-Technicly Palmer is on the Bengals roster.He never signed retirement papers.I am sure he would play for the Raiders but the Bengals would not entertain offers for him early in the year.Even though it was reported they were offered a 2nd round draft choice for him. It will be interesting to see who they get.I don't believe it will be Favre.despite what many believe I doubt if he is in football shape.Lets face it time caught up with him last year.I know nothing of the Raiders backups but they would almost seem to be a favorite to start no matter what for at least a couple weeks.Just because they know the system.Jeff George's name always pops up when these talks come up.LOL
• Question:-Who should I start Carson Palmer at Dallas or Trent Edwards at Arizona?
  Who should I start Carson Palmer at Dallas or Trent Edwards at Arizona?
  
  Answer:-Brett Favre threw 6 TDs against Arizona last week. What was your question again?
• Question:-Why does Carson Palmer make the Raiders a better team?
  I don't follow the Bengals & don't know much about Carson Palmer's game. Is this a good trade for the Raiders? What kind of a quarterback is he? How does he make the Raiders better?
  
  Answer:-
• Question:-What do you think of Carson Palmer this year?
  Im a Bengals fan, the Bengals are shocking people with 3-1 start to the season, Carson Palmer for the last two years has benn injured and not himself, now this year it apperars to many that hes regained his 2005-2006 form, before he blew his knee out against the Steeelers in the Playoffs. How would you rate him so far, and do you think hell improve as the season progresses.
  
  Answer:-I played him over Tom Brady,and he scored 1 more point then him,I think..
  Yhea,I really like Palmer this year (AND OCHOCINCO),and I wont hesitate to play him if I like his matchup better then Brady's..I WISH I COULD START THEM BOTH,but my league only starts 1 QB..
  
  It wasn't long ago PAlmer was being drafted in 1st rounds of fantasy drafts,and he STILL has the potential to produce like a top tier QB;
  so if you grabbed him after the 7th-8th rounds like I did,you got yourself a real bargain!

• Question:-Would it be a smart move for the Vikings to get Carson Palmer?
  Carson Palmer has put up great numbers on the Bengals, but they are one of the worst teams in the league. If Palmer was on a different team, he would be looked at as a future Hall of Famer, and he would have a better chance of winning a Super Bowl.
  
  Answer:-I think he would be a great fit on the Vikings. If the Vikings O-line improves on the pass blocking, I can see Palmer in the pro-bowl next season. (If he was to go to the Vikings). They have arguably the best running back in the NFL in Adrian Peterson, a good receiving core with the likes of Sidney Rice (as long as they re-sign him) and Percy Harvin, and a very underrated TE in Shianco (or how ever you spell his name).
