Please don't suck tonight Marmol.

good, because we'd both be taking a break in that case I remember that night...good times. :good:

let's not bring out the anointing oils just yet. Oh it has already been brought! :twisted:

left tackle from purdue I'm not sure if Kyle Adams will be back... gotta keep a Boilermaker on the roster! :x

Yahoo's live boxscore thing shows LaHair in a Mariners hat. Really? He played for them 4 years ago, right? lol.

That was great. LaHair's 12 pitch walk was epic, they had to win after that happened. \:D/

I don't see the point in trading Soto right now. He isn't blocking a hot catching prospect in the minors and his trade value can only improve as the season goes on (it certainly can't get any lower).

How about a bucket of beer instead of a bucket of baseballs?

Yes, just watch strike 3.

The outside corner being given by the umps in this series has been ridiculous.

Leadoff triple!

Can't say I've ever seen a guy hurt himself trying to tag up, lol.

I too expected a scoreless first inning from Randy. :clapping:

It was going to be a tough play, I just wish he could have kept the ball in front of him and limited it to a single instead of a double.

Craptastic!

Hah, he is a member at the new Indiana board that was created as an off-shoot of the current IU Scout board.

That is the thing, they just weren't going anywhere anyways. I still hate how they are losing this series but...it isn't like we are seeing a Cup caliber team getting run too soon.

That Torres for Hossa trade-off sure worked well for PHX...

True, although the continuation of that trend over 7 games won't be good. :P

I hope I'm wrong but I took that moment as the hockey gods saying "better luck next season". :?

Maybe you have been taking Kyle's posts about Stewart seriously? :lol:

This team is depressing. :?

Miami blew them out badly the first two times, the 3rd one the Pacers had it won and then let it slip away in OT (James hit a 3 to force OT and then Wade hit a game winner with 0.1 left in OT). The 4th time was a blowout the Pacers way. The Pacers do have some matchups that can bother the Heat (they're one of the only teams in the NBA with enough good defenders at the wing positions to guard James/Wade, and their size inside could bother Miami) but they have to make shots. They've been doing that in the second half of the season (averaged 101.8 points over their last 19 games) while they were really struggling offensively to begin the year when they played the Heat the first 2 times. As for the being physical point, Indiana's probably more physical than they were last year. It's a calling card of theirs. They talk about being smashmouth all the time, and they're among the league leaders in both free throws attempted and among the worst in giving up free throws. I'm not sure how much that will be a factor in tiring out Miami though. LeBron is so strong it almost doesn't matter, and it's not Bosh's game to be physical like that. So they would probably only tire out Wade. I think the Pacers can push Miami a bit. I wouldn't expect to win that series but I don't think it would be some big pushover. The Pacers had been kind of inconsistent up until the stretch run, now they seem to be playing their best basketball of the season. And really, when they added Barbosa is when they really seemed to start this last season surge. I think Barbosa provides a really nice spark off the bench.

I just listened to Bo's interview on Mike & Mike this morning. He pretty much stuck to the "everybody is doing it" line of reasoning. Said he asked other coaches what to do in this kind of situation and that this is what they told him to do and that all the coaches are applauding him for how he has handled it. :good:
