  1. "They weren't even in gangs," Gibson said of childhood pals he called Cookiehead, Cakes and Johnny. Sad that pro athletes need to clarify.
  2. Westbrook is killing OKC. Also, this heat celts game is so boring
  3. http://nbaliveonline.com/streaming/ It's reallllly slow but it's all I have.
  4. It was a performance like that that locked up the Finals MVP for him last year. It wasn't a great performance, but he did have 17 boards, Mr. Simmons.
  5. 11 points for Kobe on 3 for 10 shooting.
  6. Looks like he didn't pick up the spin there..by the time he realized it wasn't a high fastball like all the others Bell had thrown it was way too late. Ah, I was watching on Gamecast. That makes me feel a little better.
  7. BAHAHAHAHA I saw this on gamecast and literally LOL'd
  8. Shredding that stout D'Antoni defense with layup after layup... ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
  9. It's not just power-hitting outfielders. Between Girardi debuting during the tail end of 1989 and Soto playing a game in 2005, who was the best position player to come up through the Cubs' system to actually play for the Cubs? Doug Glanville? Corey Patterson? Ryan Theriot? Carlos Zambrano? Kidding. Highest career OPS by hitters who came up through the Cubs system since 89ish min 400 career PA including Walton and pre Soto. .788, 100 OPS+ Matt Murton .786, 106 OPS+ Hee Seop Choi .755, 102 OPS+ Dwight Smith .746, 89 OPS+ Brant Brown .742, 100 OPS+ Rick Wilkins .730, 88 OPS+ Ozzie Timmons .719, 87 OPS+ Roosevelt Brown .717, 92 OPS+ Derrick May .709, 85 OPS+ Kevin Orie .708, 92 OPS+ Jerome Walton .704, 83 OPS+ Ryan Theriot .697, 80 OPS+ Corey Patterson .695, 78 OPS+ Doug Glanville .693, 83 OPS+ Bobby Hill .666, 72 OPS+ Joe Girardi And I left a few out... Haha does Murton even count? He was already a good prospect for Boston when we got him
  10. this really, really, REALLY made me miss Ron.
  11. Update: the Giants bandwagon is dangerously overcrowded.
  12. Thanks! Headed to the ballpark now -- looking forward to seeing Ted Lily tonite.
  13. Hi All, I'm heading to AT&T Park today for the Giants-Dodgers game. I haven't been to the stadium before: anyone have any tips?
  14. Which is why the "player A's team is worse without player A than player B's team is to player B so player A is better" argument is dumb
  15. Agree that MVP is not about value, but of course LeBron's contract has to do with his worth to his team.
  16. According to the name of the award, its not Best player, its most valuable. I'm fairly certain the Bulls would be worse without Rose than the Heat would be without LeBron. Dwight Howard has a legitimate argument, but I find it hard to give an MVP award to a guy who does absolutely nothing during crunch time. I'd argue the Heat drop off more without Lebron than the Bulls do without Rose. Wade, Bosh, and not another player worth a damn? That team might not make the playoffs. Do you think they'd have a similar dropoff without Wade instead of James? James, Bosh and a whole lot of garbage. Isn't this whole argument kind of dumb argument anyway? They built the team around having James, and James is a big part of why the rest of the team is garbage outside of Wade and Bosh. The argument inherently overvalues the true cost of having a certain player.
  17. What a great clubhouse guy!
  18. He said that Lou promised to let players know when they were playing in advance, but didn't end up doing it. The fact that Quade does let players know makes him want to play hard for Quade. Didn't think it was that ridiculous...
  19. I think that's because if a catcher sucks at hitting, people automatically assume he's good defensively. Jason Kendall is my favorite example. He was always considered a great hitter with an awful glove when he was in Pittsburgh. Now all the talking heads wont shut up about what a great defender he is. To be fair, he was one of the worst at throwing out baserunners before Ned Yost got to him.
  20. Not over yet
  21. By 18 points on the road, no less. Sad, but I'll take it! \:D/
