    If the Cubs could trade Zambrano, he would have been gone earlier this season. If the Cubs pay 50% of his contract ($23 million) at the deadline, they might find a taker. Rangers could be buyers at that price. Z is at the the point where he has to be willing to waive his no-trade clause. He isn't a changed man and his daughter's request not to act like a child was obviously not enough to change him.

    It's too bad that they have no-trade clauses. I just wish it was easier to swallow a few hundred million dollars.

    Pat Burrell has a two year $16 million dollar contract. I'd love to switch those contracts! I didn't see all of the angles, but it seemed that Lee could have dove and knocked the ball down. I only saw the view from the third base camera. Did Lee have any play on it at all? Z has to have a morality clause in that contract. Search that thing with a fine tooth comb Jim.

    The Kings will swoop in if the deal falls through. Either way the Bulls are looking super.
  5. Wilson A2000
    Can you have an official handshake deal? If the pick is traded, doesn't Washington have to take on Hinrich?
  6. Wilson A2000
    Heyward with a flat-billed hat looks absolutely silly. All of them do actually.

    This is a good scenario. An even better one, and in my opinion the best, is to trade Deng and get Pietrus. You have the tall shooting guard they have been looking for who is a pretty solid three point shooter who will constantly be open on this team. Rose, Pietrus LeBron, Bosh, and Noah. That is an INCREDIBLE team. Terrible bench though, but not as bad as Miami's.

    I wished that they sent Deng out rather than Hinrich. If Deng is stuck on this team, he won't see the court if he sticks at 3. But it does strengthen the bench. If Deng remains, why not move LeBron to shooting guard? There is no way Deng can play the 2. He is too slow to keep up on the defensive end and he can't shoot the three. But LeBron could do both of those. The Bulls just got a lot more enticing. They really have a lot more to offer than the Knicks. Yes NY can get two max guys, but now the Bulls can too and they have Rose and Noah to offer on the side.

    Henrik Said In. You would think the guy announcing Sedin won would know how to pronounce his name.
  10. Wilson A2000
    He was stumbling around and talking on and on.
  11. Wilson A2000
    Why would the league block the trade?
  12. Wilson A2000
    I totally agree. Some of the posters on HFBoards are noting that Buff could be the "face of the franchise" given that he's a black player in Atlanta. Aliu too, to a smaller extent. Setting aside the oversimplicity of the racial component to this, Buff isn't cut out to be the face of any franchise. That's not his thing. He will not carry the load for anyone, and especially not for a bad team. Without motivation, he will disappear on the ice. Kovalchuck led the NHL in scoring the last few years, and no one even talked about him down here. The Atlanta franchise really got hurt when they had to trade him. They offered him $100 million, and he said no. I think that was the last straw for the franchise here under the current ownership. One ownership group controls the Atlanta Hawks and Thrashers, and word is they are trying to sell both. I bet they go to Canada somewhere just like the Flames. The only way to get black people to like hockey in Atlanta is to get Jordan to play center for the Thrashers. Hockey will never be big in Atlanta. But the Thrashers had to make this move to try to make a splash. They can't wait 5 years to get good beacuse they are losing $20 million a year.

    This was the longest game ever played. And that's only counting the fifth set.
  14. Wilson A2000
    Who has had or has the best single pitch ever? Bob Feller's fastball? Rivera's cutter? Hoffman's change?
  15. Wilson A2000
    Exactly. Especially when you have Tiger, Ernie and Phil all in the mix. Once Ernie got through with his awful 9-10-11 stretch that dropped him back, they couldn't even pose the threat of making a run. They all made numerous mental mistakes, hit poor shots and rarely made putts. Fairly shocking considering the talent up there. McDowell was just steadily hitting fairway's and making the 5-10 foot putts that everyone else seemed to be missing. And his "steady" round was a 74. It was there for the taking and although the greens were super tough, no one could step up. Mcdowell was in a great position. When you have to try to make birdies on this course, you won't be able to. Chances are you will make bogies instead when you take chances. All Mcdowell had to do was play it safe, which isn't easy to do.
  16. Wilson A2000
    Agreed. You have to throw him a softball question in order for him not to give you the look of "I want to ram this driver down your throat."
  17. Wilson A2000
    This isn't the course to get your game back together on. But he is still hanging in there when you know he doesn't have it totally back yet.
  18. Wilson A2000
    Did Johnson hit a provisional? There is nothing wore than marching all the way back to the teebox and hitting another. Side note: would anyone pay $350,000 for a Lexus?
  19. Wilson A2000
    He would have liked his drive there.
  20. Wilson A2000
    He tripled it for a 7. ESPN.com has it screwed up too. When you go to the webpage and click on leaderboard, they show total strokes. But that doesn't help because you have to figure out what hole each player is on to get an idea how far back they are. A simple -1 or E would help.

    Dustin is using a Pebble Beach caddie that he must not know very well, but that guy has to get in there and say something. He has to stop using driver and playing so darn fast.
  22. Wilson A2000
    Well he has hit a left handed 2 foot lob wedge and a right handed 2 foot lob wedge on one hole. And now he misses the easy put. Triple bogey. Phil and Tiger definitely have an opportunity now. Going to be an exciting day on a great course.

    Why is Mary Carillo doing the color for ABC?
  24. Wilson A2000
    So a commentator can't rip a coach until he has coached himself? That's the same stupid mentality that sports radio hosts who have played in professional sports use against callers who question them. The odd thing is that I bet Lou will really start to play Colvin more now.
  25. Wilson A2000
    I thought the Cubs were getting a guy who kept a tight clubhouse in Lou Piniella. He really has softened in the last couple years. I don't think he has the energy or will to keep a tight ship anymore.
