You're supposed to give us valid opinions and good information about the sports that we care so much about. So it really isn't good when you write things like this:<BR/><BR/><I>If I was Mark Cuban, I'd say: No, how about Josh Howard for Kobe, straight up? <B>And if I was the Lakers, I'd still do it.</B></I><BR/><BR/>Um...what? You'd trade the most dominant player since Jordan, a great defensive player and a guy who can score at will, for an above-average player in Josh Howard? You'd feel comfortable giving a conference rival the reigning MVP and the best player in the league, with each player having a good three years of his prime left? Even if you were kidding, this is just terrible.<BR/><BR/>One more thing - anyone notice the irony that, on the same weekend we're celebrating the Duke lacrosse team recovering from the terrible charges they faced and the terrible year they went through because of the media pressure, the media is completely destroying the Devil Rays for employing a guy who's been <I>accused</I> of doing something terrible?

The NL Central as a whole is 36 games under .500, with all teams below .500 against the NL West. <BR/><BR/>2. The AL East as a whole is 1 game under .500, but it'd be worse if the Red Sox weren't 20 games over .500. <BR/><BR/>3. Cleveland is a ridiculously good home team, going 17-4. They're on pace to win rougly 65 games at home this year. <BR/><BR/>4. Rookie Dustin Pedroia leads all American League players in K/BB ratio (among players w/ 100 ABs). Pedroia has also not grounded into a double play all year. <BR/><BR/>5. Texas Starting pitching is so bad that Robinson Tejeda leads the rotation with a 5.75 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. <BR/><BR/>6. Joe Borowski leads all AL closers in saves with 17, but has a 6.75 ERA. <BR/><BR/>7. Alex Gonzalez has already hit more home runs (10) AND committed more errors (8) than last season (9 and 7 respectively).ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-3487617697806157702007-05-29T13:13:00.000-04:002007-05-29T13:13:00.000-04:00@cmfostMarco it would not of hurt for him to have ...<I>@cmfost</I><BR/><BR/>Marco it would not of hurt for him to have a life jacket on.

He matched an entire 5-man set (Rob Niedermayer-Pahlsson-Moen-Pronger-Scott Niedermayer) against Ottawa's top line. As a result, Alfredsson, Spezza, and Heatley were shut down in 5-on-5 play. (Alfie and Spezza picked up assists on a PP goal.)<BR/><BR/><B>Anaheim Dud:</B> Sami Pahlsson: Sami. Baby. Exactly how did common sense fail you so completely? Returning your goaltender's lost stick by flipping it in the air is never a good idea. Doing it while the puck was below the face-off dots cost your team a power play goal.<BR/><BR/><B>Ottawa Stud:</B> Anton Volchenkov: He's like a second goalie on the ice, with all those blocked shots. Is there a prop bet on when one of those shots severs one of his legs completely? They must be hanging on by a thread by now.<BR/><BR/><B>Ottawa Dud:</B> Ray Emery: Big-time goalies don't let in goals like that Getzlaf backhand.

That means he can take 1 quarter (the 3rd but maybe the second) where he only takes 5 shots. But the other 3, he better take 10 each.<BR/><BR/>He hits about 16/35 from the field 4/9 from 3pt and goes 8/10 from the line. That's 44 points. He does that and they have a chance. Otherwise, with that team they are dead.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-87614866201680723132007-05-29T12:34:00.000-04:002007-05-29T12:34:00.000-04:00Question:Would a life vest keep 300 lbs of solid m...Question:<BR/><BR/>Would a life vest keep 300 lbs of solid muscle afloat?

I guess Dukes grew up and went to the same high school as Sheff, so Sheff offered to reach out and help the kid out. <BR/><BR/>Wouldn't think of Sheffield as an ideal mentor, but the kid clearly needs some help, and that Sheff doesn't have a perfect past (steroids, greenies, etc), might actually make it more likely that Dukes would listen to him. <BR/><BR/>You have to hope that Tampa works more on character and keeping their farm kids out of trouble. There's a bad label on the franchise after Dukes, Delmon Young, and Josh Hamilton all had a lot of issues in the minors.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-91402974640142395432007-05-29T11:42:00.000-04:002007-05-29T11:42:00.000-04:00if he did do it in Fenway...you know only some foo...if he did do it in Fenway...you know only some fool Red Sox fan would actually toss it back.
