What a game! 4OT win for the stars!!! Turco made 61 saves!

after all that, and Atlanta just folded like a lawnchair.

it's not everyday that someone keeps playing into their 80's!

Hawks win!

Atlanta up 2 with the ball with 8.7 seconds left!

Atlanta is on a 10-0 run with 4:44 in the 4th quarter of game six to lead by 7! Paul Pierce just fouled out, and got a technical to boot!

convincing win!!!

back in '99 HJ beat Barbers Hill 3-0. That was an incredible game.

i doubt either will ever be broken. the strikeout record is more vulnerable, but i don't see it happening. the bullpen plays a much more prominent role than it did throughout nolan's career. these days, strikeout pitchers don't get to go that deep into games, so nobody who has a chance of catching him will pitch enough innings in their career to do it, as they'll be pulled every time they hit 115-120 pitches.

if a teacher drinks occasionally during the summer, are they going to have problems teaching in september? occasional marijuana use during the offseason is not going to effect how he's playing during the season. don't twist my words. now if he smokes pot every day during the offseason, gets the munchies all the time, gains 30 lbs, and subsequently lacks the ambition to go out and practice, then sure, smoking pot in the offseason will effect his playing ability. I'm not saying what he's doing is ok, I'm just saying that his comment about it not being a big deal FROM A BASKETBALL STANDPOINT is reasonable. actually wasn't even referring to your comments. my fault should have been more clear. I was referring to Howard's comments that it has no effect on him doing his job. Having no experience with marijauna, I was throwing a general question out there. oh, ok. cool ;D

You are my hero... dangit. i could really use those 99 points, too.

i agree. they are much better, because of all those 1st round picks finally developed they've drafted well, that's for sure

Amen! Maybe Cuban can coach them next year and they can miss the playoffs all together.

in all honestly, if you look past 2001 and 2002, Barry has never been that good. His last 4 seasons in oakland he went: 14-12 11-11 14-13 16-10 the giants then proceeded to pay him like he's the offspring of Johan Santana and Josh Beckett. He moves to a team that is going to score less runs and provide worse defense for him, and his record for his first season at San Fran is 11-13. I'd say anybody with half a baseball brain could've predicted his record based on his past 4 seasons combined with him moving to an inferior team. If you look at his numbers this year, he's hasn't been stellar, but his first four starts weren't completely awful. Here are the numbers for his first four starts... now granted, he got shelled in starts 5 and 6, but he started out decent, and i don't think anyone would go beyond calling him a decent pitcher. Start 1: 5.0 IP, 4 ER Start 2: 5.0 IP, 3 ER Start 3: 6.0 IP, 1 ER Start 4: 6.0 IP, 3 ER There's no reason that on a team with an actual offense that he couldn't have started out 2-2, or even 3-1. I think people's expectations are based on his salary instead of his skill set. I also think that the pressure of losing his first four games, which were all winnable, has probably gotten into his head. Maybe with some time in the bullpen he can get things straightened out, and maybe get a cheap win or two to gain his confidence back. I'm sure if he gets his mindset right, he can get back to being the .500 pitcher he was always destined to be.

Fresh or saltwater or does it matter? either is fine... i don't really care. we go out to the rigs some, but with the price of gas, i'm going to have to cut WAAAAAY back on that

it was an old dude trying to do the truffle shuffle. no way i give it back!

smoltz was never this bad... i'm just surprised the rangers haven't traded 3 top prospects for him yet. he won't lose too many more games from the bullpen, as i doubt they're going to put him in during close games anytime soon.

dude, i love daily! chain smoking and driving off of a diet dr. pepper can!!! you can't beat it. i'm just glad the PGA makes him wear a shirt during tournaments.

i'm glad i've been put out of my misery. the mavericks were a DISTANT second in this matchup. CP3 is pretty much my new hero.

glad i still have someone to root for... i hate the spurs, and mark cuban makes good trades, so the rockets are all i have left.

what an incredible specimen! it's rare that you get a pro golfer with the body to play multiple sports... golfer, lineman, sumo, goalie.

All is good - No use of the asstriks atrisk STAR! So I can say $%^#@ ^%@% *&^ as long as I dont say * ? Is that correct ? P.S. My positive karma just visited happy town! D someone just got a visit from the karma fairy!

you need a rafael palmero jersey

all i know is that it's not me... i'm a lover, not a smiter.

i'll allow you this much... pedroia, and tulowitzski both have a lot of upside, but there are two or three players at each position who are going to be much better them throughout their careers. as for lincecum, i really don't mind that choice. he's VERY young, and he's got insane stuff. he's been striking out batters like crazy, and he already has 4 wins for a giants team that's going to struggle to get 70 for the year.
