Rush for giving us the most atrociously officiated game of the playoffs so far: Game 3 of the Suns-Spurs series. Bennett Salvatore, Tom Washington and Violet Palmer must have been outraged that they weren't involved in this mess. Good golly. Most of the calls favored the Spurs, but I don't even think the refs were biased -- they were so incompetent that there was no rhyme or reason to anything that was happening. Other than the latest call in NBA history (a shooting foul for Ginobili whistled three seconds after the play, when everyone was already running in the other direction), my favorite moment happened near the end, when the game was already over and they called a cheap bump on Bruce Bowen against Nash, so the cameras caught Mike D'Antoni (the most entertaining coach in the league if he's not getting calls) screaming sarcastically, "Why start now? Why bother?" What a travesty. Not since the cocaine era from 1978-1986 has the league faced a bigger ongoing issue than crappy officiating.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-13386041014487128912007-07-20T15:34:00.000-04:002007-07-20T15:34:00.000-04:00what about all the amateur body builders who juice...what about all the amateur body builders who juice...maybe a couple get a several thousand dollars a year but certainly aren't making a living that way...ndyanksfan05https://www.blogger.com/profile/17049529004061030914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-81437499379558063862007-07-20T15:16:00.000-04:002007-07-20T15:16:00.000-04:00Anyone gonna watch the Wright Hopkins fight?

So the fact that Bonds could also hit 755 or even 756 there does mean something.<BR/><BR/>Just for the record, Bonds once hit a homer in 3 straight days at Miller park which would break the record now. Another time, he hit homers in back to back days which, if it happend now, would tie the record. Also, in the All Star game a couple years ago, he hit two over the wall in one game eventhough one of them was caught by Torii Hunter.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-9638048771442604452007-07-20T12:50:00.000-04:002007-07-20T12:50:00.000-04:00I saw a poll somewhere about what ATL should do wi...I saw a poll somewhere about what ATL should do with Vick and the majority we in favor of cutting him and in another poll the majority were saying they would get rid of his jersey.

Look at it this way, plenty of people don't like A-Rod, if we have to start "celebrating" him when he gets close to Bonds, that'll be just as fake as us celebrating Bonds now.<BR/><BR/>ESPN had a silly stat, since Bonds has 9 postseason HR to Aaron's 6, he's one ahead "overall" at this point.<BR/><BR/>Well, at least we all have credible evidence now that the NBA's fixed.

He didn't hit it in Milwaukee, he didn't hit it against Milwaukee? Irony would be Tiger topping a record number of wins or something by Jack at Jack's Tournament (The Memorial)in Ohio. Or if Barry hit 756 against the Pirates or the Braves or even the Yankees, that would be ironic, but you're digging deep to connect this one.Melbyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552544565694159257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-74059096798814179232007-07-20T11:48:00.000-04:002007-07-20T11:48:00.000-04:00Tiger on PEDs is just not going to happen Dan.
