if they can keep this core in place, i don't see them getting anything but better, at least for the next couple of years (eventually the boston 3 party is going to turn into the boston "can't control their pee" party).

i bet you if you go on www.espn360.com you can find it. you can get on there and watch pretty much anything that's come on any of the espn's recently.

The US was steamrolled in the first half... they were 4 v 7 every time they got into the offensive half, and they were basically a practice squad for Turkey to run counter attack drills against. it did get A LITTLE better in the 2nd half.

The US looked TERRIBLE in the 1st half against Turkey, but at least they fought back to make it interesting. Without their brainfart in the 2nd half to allow Turkey to score about 10 seconds after the US had just scored, this could've been a tie game.

i said 30, and it was only 25, but who's counting ;D

Kobe only has 2 and the spurs are only up 8? they might be in trouble if he drops about 30 in the 2nd half.

hahahaha

you'll definitely be in my thoughts...

it's a shame... can't have your son beaten by a girl. if she's that good, it will do nothing but make her opponents better from having played her. this is pretty ridiculous.

if he can provide 5-10 minutes off the bench a game, and a good defensive presence in practice, he'll be worth the money. that's a pretty insignificant amount of cash for a pro franchise anyway.

This is the lakers' year. Spurs lose in 6, then go home to do gardening and read in book clubs and play cribbage. (and other "exciting" things)

it's always nice to see an HJ alum do well!

an amazing career for a guy taken in the 62nd round as a favor for a family friend!

I "waste" my time for a third of that, and I live pretty comfortably. I don't know what your career plans are, but if you make 120K a year, you're doing alright.

pitch count is overrated. it wasn't too long ago that pitchers were expected to go 9 innings most of the time. what a story in lester! comes back from cancer and throws a no hitter!!! jw.. have you ever thrown 100 pitches? let alone 140? lol its not too fun if i was i was paid millions of dollars a year, i think i could put up with it once every five days or so. I'm not saying that it won't wear the pitcher out, but it's not like they don't get plenty of time to recover. pitchers are babied these days. regardless, lester is a fantastic story.

he's gonna be blocking mad shots if they let him use his walker to swat shots away. 120K isn't much for a pro ball player, but at least he has the endorsements from centrum silver and depends adult undergarments.

ditto!

yay

we can only hope...

yay rangers!

yay

they probably hadn't. how much can a coach do with a team full of kids that have never played before, won't play any in the off season, and will be forced to play all year against squads with 15-20 kids who've been playing more or less year round since they were four or five years old? you can take five athletes and make them reasonably competitive on the basketball court. you can take a team full of athletes and turn them into a pretty good football team in a years time. you can't take a team full of athletes and expect them to be competitive in soccer. a team full of slow, fat, old, but talented soccer players will beat the crap out of a team of the best non-soccer playing athletes you can find in southeast texas.

This series comes at a bad time for those who are fans of both the rangers AND the astros. I'm a ranger through and through, but i've been more than happy to adopt the stros as my national league team. Right now both teams are hot, and have made really nice runs to get back into things in their respective divisions. I hate it that one of them is about to drop a couple of games to the other.

the puma hit another big homer in the top of the ninth to put the astros ahead. he isn't showing any sign of slowing down!
