  1. derrek lee is terible and i'm pretty sure other teams realize it.
  2. What an awful, awful trade for the Diamondbacks.
  3. is something wrong with lincecum? his numbers are down significantly this season
  4. I don't know why everybody is convinced that LeBron is going to Miami. He's not leaving Cleveland. Fixed for 3 weeks ago. Completely different situation. Melo isn't a free agent. And won't be until after a forthcoming lockout. He has no idea how much money he'll be able to get after that after whatever the new CBA says.... He has an extension offer on the table in Denver. He'll take the sure thing. Then why hasn't he taken it yet?
  5. chris paul is demanding a trade. superteam II coming?
  6. Are those real quotes? Pretty hilarious if so
  7. lol ricketts. what a joke. hendry and sandberg next season. absolutely great. as if my interest in this team could get any lower.
  8. http://techrights.org/files/trolltracker/20080528154853/troll.gif good one
  9. So how old were you when you suffered the massive head trauma? Seriously, I could never see myself sitting down, popping in the DVD to watch the video of a sporting event that I already know what happened and just about every other side story that went along with it. youre weird and you know the DVD isn't just replays of the games, right? it's highlights with interviews and footage we haven't seen you before. i don't understand why you don't understand why people watch them.
  10. it's asinine and oblivious to think that hr/fb ratio on it's own doesn't prove anything? ha
  11. I'd almost be satisifed with this just because I'm convinced Sandberg is taking over next year
  12. Just out of curiosity, if not bad luck, why do you think he has fewer fly balls leaving the park than in the past? because he isn't hitting fly balls far enough to go out of the park? if a guy hits 20 straight medium depth fly balls, is he unlucky that none of them left the park?
  13. stevie y is making some things happen in tampa
  14. I agree, but the only reason I cited it was because it goes with what people having been saying on orioleshangout, which is that his defense has gotten bad.
  15. For what it's worth, Markakis' HR/FB ratio is at a career low 5.7%. His career average is 10.2%. With his LD% and BABIP hovering around normal (BABIP's a tad high), I think some of the power outage this year is due to some bad luck. Markakis definitely dropped off a bit last year, but his peripherals show he's bouncing back again this year. I think buying on him now would be a good idea. Oh I'd definitely be fine with getting him if the price was right. I'm just saying he hasn't turned into the stud that it looked like he was going to be. He's just pretty good. 10Mil isn't bad for a "pretty good" player. Nobody's calling him a stud. But he leads the league in doubles, that combined with the above stats shows to me that he has been unlucky. Because 26 year olds don't typically lose power as you suggested, especially if they haven't completely lost grasp of the strikezone. Still think he will be a 30 HR hitter by next year and going forward. Like I said, I'd take him. I just don't see any evidence of him developing into a 30 HR guy. If he was making progress year by year I could see it, but he's holding steady with his power output (and even that is only if you consider his FB/HR ratio this year to be unlucky).
  16. i still can't believe they won the cup
  17. You do if your top player is LeBron, Kobe, or Wade. Rose is not the type of player who will be the man on a championship winning team. He is a great player, but not good enough to do that. You still want him to believe he is. Especially if you don't have anybody better
  18. i'm gonna miss big brad's gang signs after he knocks down a big 3
