To me he looks like a Magloire who has an even worse looking shot (how scary is that for an nba team with a lottery pick?) but runs the floor well.<BR/><BR/>I just don't understand the screaming and chest bumping every time he gets a rebound. He can't shoot so rebounding and blocking is his job on that team (anyone else noticed that they seem to get better when he's in foul trouble and Richards comes in)?

You have between 8 and 12 guys on the ice (including goalies) all with sticks... fighting provides a disincentive to put your stick in someone's throat/face/crotch, etc... if you had no fighting, you'd have a lot more Sher-Wood surgery.

How long does it take for him to graduate from instigating a gunfight to shooting someone dead or being killed himself. From what I can recall about Carruth he wasn't necessarily a bad person he just made a really idiotic choice instead of dealing with it like a man. I think someone like pacman has the potential to be the worst of the lot. <BR/><BR/>Then you have someone like Tom Payne who was sentenced to ife on multiple convictions of rape.

And their farm system overall ranks as one of the worst in baseball. <BR/><BR/>Getting nothing for Soriano hurt, but hopefully they can get some good draft picks from the compensation for him. Still, even those guys would be 2-3 years off seeing any MLB time at best. <BR/><BR/>Part of the problem is that Jim Bowden's asking price for Soriano and now for Cordero is simply too high. He got a great deal getting Kearns and Lopez, but that might've entailed withholding information about medical records. <BR/><BR/>Until they start playing in their new stadium, I see a lot of problems with that franchise. After all, at least the Marlins had pieces for a firesale, the Nats don't even have that (as they won't sell Zimmerman nor should they). <BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, and just to beat a dead horse, Church is having an abysmal Spring last time I checked. <BR/><BR/>They're bad. 110 wins bad.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-89917150580629185242007-03-27T15:25:00.000-04:002007-03-27T15:25:00.000-04:00Chris Henry was arrested for driving with a suspen...Chris Henry was arrested for driving with a suspended license after failing to use a turn signal in Cincinnati last Wednesday.<BR/><BR/>Henry was also found to be riding without a seat belt after police pulled over his Escalade.
