Bucks drafted Yi. Ack, meant traded for. There's the answer though, great value for NJ. Oh wow, I didn't even see that.

Bucks drafted Yi.

Augustin airballing that free throw was the funniest moment during the NCAA tournament.

Yeah, how'd that work out for the Giants?

I feel the Knicks fans are boo'ing cause they don't know anything about Gallinari (not that I do either). And they feel like if they have never heard of him, he can't be good.

If last night's game were any indication, we really need a decent bat off the bench against LH'ers.

Nope. This is hot! You know ... Ohno actually is a very good dancer. He looked like he belonged right beside her.

what did he say about Morrison and Redick when they were drafted? Redick needs to get the hell out of Orlando. He has no future on that team. I think he could become a decent role player, but it has to be the right situation. If he can't play as a spot up shooter on a team with the best low post player in basketball, where would he succeed? the problem is that they already have two perimeter players whose job it is to score in Turkoglu and Lewis. I get that, but shooting is maybe the toughest thing to find in the league. There is no question he could do that. SO why can't he even get on the court? Especially on a team that really doesn't have a two guard. The two you mentioned are still post players. I really think that Reddick is just this generation's Alford. There's a difference between being able to shoot and being able to create a shot in the nba. I have no doubt that he can sit outside the 3-point line and drain jumpers all night long, but i dont think he's quick, agile or strong enough to get his shot off in the league. kyle korver really isn't quick, agile or strong, and he's made a niche for himself in the league. don't know if reddick is slower than korver, but that seems hard to imagine, honestly. Korver is 6'6 and is being guarded by slower players than guard Redick, who has a size disadvantage to go along with his quickness disadvantage So he isn't very big, can't create his own shot, and isn't quick. Sounds like a bust that even the best change of scenery won't help. Note this doesn't even bring up the point he can't guard a chair in practice. To say that a player is a bust when he can only get 8 minutes of playing time per game is premature. And Redick can create his own shot ... he did it all the time at Duke. His shooting stats from two years in the NBA aren't bad. I'm confident he'll catch on somewhere, just not in Orlando with defensive-minded Van Gundy.

Still under warranty!

Honestly ... I'm scared as hell to play them. They took 2 of 3 at St. Louis.

Renteria GIDP's, but run scores.

So there's a chance we don't hear any of that "first place teams playing each other" nonsense this weekend?

With a last name of Soto, my guess is Puerto Rico.

OH?

False? Jimmy Leyland?

we need the cajun connection sounds like a porno, and not the kind i watch

Brian Roberts is good at baseball.

Well, that'd be two of us.

If Patterson, Fontenot, and Lilly want to make all the outs in this game, that's fine by me.

Jay Payton .... seriously.

2nd HR for Ankiel in the game ties it up at 5.

Nice, Orioles pitching struck out the side.

Albers? Baltimore seems determined to destroy his arm. Earlier this season, he started a game, then went into the bullpen for 2 weeks throwing 10-15 pitches per outing. At the end of that time, he threw 16 pitches one day, 18 pitches the next, then had 2 days rest, and then they let him throw 94 pitches in a game he started. This time it's much less crazy. He threw 36 pitches on the 21st, so he's had 3 days rest. It will be interesting to see how long Baltimore throws him out there though. He is a high walk guy and is only a decent strikeout pitcher, so this is one pitcher the Cubs should absolutely take pitches against. There's a lot of reward and not that much risk. Note that I'm not saying the Cubs should look at every first pitch. I would never recommend that for any pitcher. But he's exactly the type of pitcher you shouldn't be worried about getting into deeper counts with, so go up there on the first pitch acting like it's a 2-0 or 3-1 count and only swinging if the ball comes into one of your best hitting zones. He's also a pretty good ground ball guy, so the Cubs need to be wary of that with runners on. I do agree that the Cubs will probably go with a very similar lineup tonight as they did last night now unless Lou was very upset with Patterson's adventures out there. You must now feel awfully foolish typing all that up when the dude only pitched for 10 minutes.

Z rocking the WBC shirt. Love it!

If you've heard of Nick Stavinoha before yesterday, please raise your hand.
