  1. Kiper and McShay both have the Bears taking Heyward-Bey in their latest mock.
  2. Tyrus is pretty worthless again.
  3. Has there been any indication from the preseason that Kosuke will no longer be dominated by completely drivable fastballs?
  4. Haha, classic UMF. It's not even the middle of March and you're panicking. I think it's a fair point. If he DOES struggle people will naturally conflate what happened in the WBC to his on field performance. Even if they're unrelated he'll be bombarded by the media asking if he has a hangover from what happened in the WBC and maybe then it gets in his head. There's no reason to panic but it sure doesn't help.
  5. He and Sarkisian learned from the master. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h37/trojantsax/uclaad0825-1.jpg
  6. Miller is OK. He's way too slow on the pick and pop on offense and way too sow to defend it on defense. I thought he'd be more of an effective jump shooter off of pick and rolls but he takes forever to wind up his shot because he's usually ball faking towards the hoop first. That part of his game is gone now and he just needs to take that jumper immediately.
  7. It wasn't a three. He picked Salmons' pocket and hit a running/leaning 19 footer from near the top of the key as time expired. He's just way too good. I knew he was going to win it as soon as he stole the ball from Salmons.
  8. Can we sign Wade? What a shitty finish. That has to be the best game of the regular season so far.
  9. Vinny is too stupid to draw up an out of bounds play that can get the ball into the hands of a primary ballhandler. Salmons is not a creator off the dribble at all...Wade owned him twice in the overtimes when he tried to attack. Really lame finish to a great game.
  10. Are you [expletive] kidding me?
  11. This game is killing me. Going into double OT!
  12. Facebook comment gets Eagles employee fired: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3965039 I think that's a bit of an over reaction...firing a stadium operations guy, in this economy, over a harmless comment on Facebook?
  13. That's the epitome of a towering home run right there. Holy hell.
  14. It's not like you're missing a good game or anything. :? I'd rather watch that than see a mediocre Suns team on national TV for the billionth time.
  15. CBS in San Diego is cutting out the first half of the Duke/UNC game for some stupid telethon. Why is CBS doing an ACC game anyway? I thought ACC was strictly Fox and ESPN/ABC.
  16. Is the Skydome supposed to be a launching pad? Votto pulverized his homer but it seemed like Youkilis and McCann's homers carried really well. And Thornton is throwing smoke.
  17. 45 free throw attempts (37 made) is nice.
  18. The outside shooting is on fire tonight.
  19. I could live with him on the Bears.
  20. It's pure agony watching this team bricking mid range jumpshots and yet those are the only things we can generate with any sort of consistency in half court sets.
  21. Just horrid interior D tonight.
  22. Play defense, losers. Although I guess losing this game was already a foregone conclusion.
  23. I thought it was fairly obvious Jenkins was a better football player during their careers. Davis is a better athlete. Jenkins has a lot better technique and more polish. I'd agree Davis has a higher ceiling though.
  24. Alderson talks a good game about running the Moneyball philosophy (in fact, I've never heard a baseball operations guy be so publicly forthcoming about his philosophy) but he, Depodesta, and Towers have done a pretty wretched job of getting the players to execute it for the Padres.
