  1. one second isn't going to make a bit of difference. It makes a huge difference right there-if he had one more second he could have sidestepped that defender and then dribbled up to the 3 point line-with the time he had, all he time to do was sidestep the defender, so he just decided to launch the shot while straight on rather than moving to his right. Whatever Great argument. One second makes a huge difference in that situation. Yes. Maybe one more dribble and 3 more feet. Increases the shot percentage by a lot I'm sure. Are you drunk right now? The difference between 3.1 and 2.0 in that situation is huge. I realize you made a claim and now you want to stick to it, but give us a break. Sober as a judge. How about you?The difference wasn't 3.1 and 2.0. It was whatever it was when the ball touched the floor and the Memphis player touched it and it went out of bounds. So 2.7 or whatever and 2.0. Maybe one diribble and three more feet. Hey, you're the one that said 1 second.

  10. cleat chasing is so high school
  11. I knew you'd make an appearance in this thread. :D woah, thats uncalled for. Just because the word [expletive] is in the title, you knew a girl would show up? Ouch. If you were joking, OK. If not, it's not a good idea to call out a moderator when you don't know what they're talking about. As mentioned, my comment was based purely on knowing that she's a big South Carolina fan. It had nothing to do with the word "[expletive]." Just a little sexist I thought, thats all.

  13. yeah, I agree. How much longer on those sausages? 2 minutes, Turkish It was 2 minutes five minutes ago!
  14. It'd be something if MJ, Pippen, Rodman and Kukoc got together and popping open champaign to celebrate the Mavs losing. But hey, what's wrong with us fans doing it? You're just a jealous Pacers fan. ;) FAKE http://www.snopes.com/sports/football/miami72.asp
  15. This has been said a million times, and it still doesn't prove anything. I wasn't making any accusations. Prior's one of my favorite Cubs. But it is odd to see his calves (which used to be huge) so much smaller. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/sp/getty/a3/fullj.getty-73493133sd007_chicago_cubs__5_51_14_pm.jpg That is a picture from this spring, you want to retract that at all?
  16. "Want to hear my testimony?" "No thanks, Im gonna go hump this pile of broken glass over here."
  17. Yeah, those would look great with a pair of jorts at a nascar race. Please tell me no one is actually thinking about wearing these.
  18. I actually like that. I also like Neifi over Tomas Perez by a long shot. If we have to have an extra crap MIF on the roster, I'd rather it be one without any kind of "reputation", so the manager doesnt feel the need to play him.
  19. I want the impact bat. We haven't come up with one of them on our own forever. Hello, Ryan Harvey anyone?
  20. Oh, right, the information gained from nine or so innings that he has thrown against a collection of minor leaguers, with some major leaguers tossed in. Is it the 1.44 WHIP that excites you? San Diego is in luck, I mean, Termell Sledge is now a HR hitter. It's not who he's facing. It's that he's been able to consistantly throw the ground balls. He's been able get groundballs for exactly 9 whole innings against players, many of whom will not be in the majors this year. Tell me you can tell the difference. He's locating his sinker well, who he's facing has no bearing on his mechanics, or his location. Tell me you can tell the difference. Even if he is, he's done it for nine whole innings against a collection is sub-major league quality. You dont think it's easier to pitch against guys who arent very good?

He's been able get groundballs for exactly 9 whole innings against players, many of whom will not be in the majors this year. Tell me you can tell the difference. He has succeed through nine whole spring training innings despite giving up too many baserunners. It means nothing so far. You can point out his low ERA (and I will just point out that he isn't pitching against major leaguers all the time) and I will point out that he can't even have a decent WHIP against these same hitters. Either way, it's nine innings in Spring training, it's meaningless. I have no problem saying that he might be ok. I think its far more likely that he's terrible, though.

  23. Wrong? Hendry did a terrible job at constructing a team that lost 90+ games, how were people critical of his moves wrong? They were wrong about Jones. Stick to the subject. Wrong about Jones for one year. Still a couple more left to go, so lets not go patting ourselves on the back yet. If he plays like last year for the next two years, I'll be happy. He wasn't great, but it's better than I expected. As for Marquis, he was a contributor for the Cardinals last year, just like you said. Of course, he was absolutely terrible for them, so im not sure what you're saying there. He didn't say that-he said that he was a contributor 2 out of the past 3 years, which would be referring to 2004 and 2005. Oops, I saw it as "a contributor for the past three years", my bad. Still, I don't get what's so offensive about predicting a player will continue his downward trend into awfulness. Do these people do this for every prediction? Do you not fill out an NCAA bracket, because you don't know what's going to happen? "Ohio State should win the tournament!" "They might not, though!" Well no kidding, thanks for the revelation.
