  1. Also, not that I care much about basketball, but what does moving to Brooklyn have to do with anything? Brooklyn ain't Manhattan and it never will be. There are trendy areas but it's mostly a crime riddled slum like the Bronx. What does where the stadium is located have to do with where the player lives? Brooklyn is the yuppie and hipster capital of NY. It's not really "mostly a slum". NY athletes live anywhere from the village, to fancy brownstones uptown to neighboring communities in Jersey and Brooklyn to country estates an hour away. It doesn't really matter.
  2. I don't know why 2006 team gets so much hatred. They were horrible offensively and should have been expected to be. The 2004 team was much more annoying to me. The whole 2004-2006 team blends together in my mind.
  3. all he said was yet to impress
  4. I hated 2006 more, I really don't care about this team. I blame the Blackhawks.
  5. stop listing years/$$$ per. It's years/total
  6. 5 of 'em, dang, nice inventory.
  7. That sounds alarmingly small. How many millions per year do you think the union needs? In any one year, not much, but in the negotiating years considerably more, and in case of a strike/lockout, much much more.
  8. You're complaining about somebody starting your game thread? Almost all of them are up the night before the game.
  9. Lou isn't the big problem, but he is a problem, or at the very least, not part of the solution. I don't blame him at all for Lee and Ramirez being in the middle of the lineup, but I blame him for his obsession with Theriot and Hill, really screwed up bullpen management (which includes letting some starters go to long in an effort to avoid the bullpen). I haven't liked his crying about a lack of left handed hitting, which set Hendry off on another misguided shopping spree, and it doesn't bode well for the job he's done that the clubhouse has been a huge story the past few years.
  10. The NHL isn't the NFL though, a team with cap space isn't necessarily going to spend it.
  11. Yeah, some neutral observations I've seen suggest that he could be the steal here. I think it may have been true that none were needed. But that doesn't mean no more could be made. Why not free up more room if you can also get back some quality. The Buff trade was all about cap space and draft picks. This is about acquiring specific players who are cheaper versions of what they had.
  12. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rec_yds_single_season.htm This list skews pretty young, with the exception of a couple all time greats who show up repeatedly and played for heavy duty passing teams. if you take out every receiver over 30 that had a good season, i admit, it skews pretty young. I'm reading it differently than you. With the exception of Rice and Harrison, that list is dominated by younger receivers.
  13. I thought he was very careless in the playoffs. He doesn't offer enough offensive explosion to play like that, and I have no problem with him being dealt, especially at that cap number.
  14. You think I have a chance with her now that she's single? Something tells me she's not all that great to be around. Maybe not, but should be nice to be behind, or on top of.
  15. So, not that he sucks or anything, but how long until Cashner goes back down to AAA? Or how far out does the MLB team need to be before Cashner goes back to starting?
  16. I don't know how a team can struggle to hit with men on base when they have studs like Koyie Hill in the lineup who is clearly great with men on base.
  17. Ramirez with an 800 OPS in June. There was a time when I'd call that the low end of expectations.
  18. The important thing is they are loose and there's a whole new vibe now that Zambrano is gone. I thought that's how they were supposed to be after we got rid of Bradley. That happened in the winter, giving them plenty of time to tightening up again before opening day.

  20. I really don't get your Federer hate. I mean, other than his euro-trashiness, he's seems like a decent enough person.
  21. Neither. He hasn't thrown more than 47 pitches in a month and he's thrown 77 so far today. For some reason I was thinking he'd started again recently. Anyway, I was impressed Colvin fought back like he did there. He's got a pretty huge spread between results after going down 0-1 or 0-2 and being up 1-0 or 2-0. Most guys do, but his is huge. After 2-0 1633, after 0-2 334. Soriano is 1300/511 on that split.
  22. desperate for a win mode here, pinch hitting in the 5th with 2 outs. Or did gorzallany get hurt?
