    egad, man. first of all, i never said that beasley was the better rebounder. but okay, beasley is the better rebounder. and i don't see why coleman averaging 10+ rebounds per game in college makes him a better rebounder than beasley. wouldn't coleman have to actually average more rebounds than beasley to be a better rebounder? in beasley's freshman year, he averaged more rebounds per game than coleman ever averaged in any single year at syracuse. where did i say that he didn't score? i said that he was one of the best passers to have played college basketball in the last 20 years. if you're telling me that a ton of those assists weren't going to coleman, you're lying. no, what that tells me is that coleman wasn't double and triple teamed as much as beasley was. your comparison to derrick coleman doesn't fit at all. i know you're all proud of it and that somebody complimented you on it, but besides the fact that both are black, left-handed, fairly tall, and play basketball--it's not much of a comparison. i get the feeling that the left-handed thing is the driving force behind this comparison, and it's just not a good enough reason to think that they're the same person.

    2 hits through 4 and he's still thrown 68 pitches.

    I completely disagree with your assessment of Coleman's game at the college level. He had small fwd skills and could still beat you with his back to the basket. His rebounding numbers (not effort, mind you) were also very strong. He avged 20 and 10 in his first few yrs in the pros too. EDIT: Coleman at Cuse: And don't discount how good his teammates were. The reason he didn't score as much as Beasley did last season is because he played with Sherm Douglas, Billy Owens and - for one season - Ron Seikley. 1. small forward skills? i didn't really see them. he could face up under 15 feet and take slower guys to the hoop, but he had no perimeter skills to speak of, and a non-existent outside shot. 2. your mention of the first few years of coleman's pro career kind of confuse me. 3. i wouldn't mention sherman douglas, one of the best assist men of his era, as a reason derrick coleman wasn't as prolific a scorer as beasley.

    i don't buy the comaprison between coleman and beasley. coleman was a solid player as a college freshman, nowhere near as developed as beasley is at this point. beasley has an outside game and is more athletic. the comparison really isn't any more or less valid than a comparison to any other inside player who has ever played in the nba. beasley has an all-around game and can do a lot more than coleman could ever do.

    putting a dead rat on your teacher's desk is hilarious, though i prefer leaving a box of flies on their doorstep. ps- maybe the teacher narced out his backwoods whiskey still and he wanted to scare him.

    i want my money. this game was so predictable. start out the series great, get a good start in game 2, then things go terribly wrong, just when you think everything is going to be alright.
  9. Magnetic Curses
    i hope the cubs aren't planning on hovering around 10 games over all season.
  10. Magnetic Curses
    oh jeez.
  11. Magnetic Curses
    can we please just beat these guys and be done with it? i don't want to see any more in play (runs) for them.
  12. Magnetic Curses
    this man is mowing them down.
  13. Magnetic Curses
    here we go again.
  14. Magnetic Curses
    he's a muppet-man.
  15. Magnetic Curses
    really? i will take that wager in a minute. i thought you weren't supposed to gamble anymore.
  16. Magnetic Curses
    they just have that big inning and their bullpen holds up. valverde gesticulating in front of the 27th out.
  17. Magnetic Curses
    deja vu. same thing as last night. 50 bucks says we don't score again.
  18. Magnetic Curses
    get some runs off this gas can, please.

    2 for 13 with a walk as a Cub i still can't believe that he had the gall to catch the ball, he must really suck. That's a .367 OPS in case you don't want to do the math i agree with you, he caught the ball so he sucks. as long as we're on the same page don't worry about that. but in all seriousness, you get my point. i'm not talking about people who have the arguments that you do (despite him only having 14 plate appearances as a cub.)

    i don't think there's enough of a difference to really justify strong feelings either way. the bulls are getting a potential superstar, period.
  23. Magnetic Curses
    how dare he catch the ball?!!! get rid of edmonds, he caught the ball.

    I love Eric Gordon's athleticism and burst, but I don't think he's much of a basketball player right now. He has as much upside as Rose in my estimation, but is far more raw. I think he'll take years longer to be a major contributor than Rose will. Granted, I never really saw him early on when he wasn't shooting 37% from the field. But that's precisely why I question his ability to contribute early on. i think that everyone knows that i like gordon, despite being an illini fan. but i was being a little facetious. though i think gordon will have a long and fruitful nba career and will be a lottery pick.

    although valverde could throw 10 pitches into the 10th row and then all of the sudden turn it around against us and k the side to preserve a one run victory. oh, and agains we get beat by a guy who had never pitched until a year ago or something.
