[quote name="Ruckdad" post="822497" timestamp="1280759855"] Hasn't handled pressure well?  did you watch the playoffs in 2004 and 2005? [/quote] That's five, six years ago. I'm talking the last couple of years as his numbers and confidence has dropped. I still hope he picks it up for the Yanks

No suprise. He was already slumping and hasn't handled pressure well but I hope he picks it up and gets back to his old slugging ways.

I'm a fan and I know changes had to be made but all the faces of the Astros are gone. It's a totally new age and it's hard to see happen.

[quote name="Boomhower" post="822237" timestamp="1280583615"] I am glad for both Berkman and Oswalt, I hated to see them rotting away on this team. Excited that they will get a chance to win again. As for the Astros, I am glad to see them finally moving in a different direction and finally realizing that they suck. Don't really understand why Brett Myers would be untouchabe, he just might bring back better prospects than you get in both the Roy and Lance deals because of the money he is owed the remainder of the year. Just wish there was a way they could get rid of Carlos Lee. [/quote] I'm also glad for both of them but Lance wasn't helping the Stros much hitting just over 230. I also agree about Carlos Lee.

[quote name="mytwocents" post="819900" timestamp="1279848901"] honestly IMO i don't see how yall can even compare LCM to PNG. your talking about a team who went 4-6 to a team who went 11-1. when we played lcm we had our third string offense and defense in there after halftime. personally i think its gonna be a walk away for PNG. [/quote] It wasn't a walk away last year. It was a decent game.

[quote name="biaplayer" post="819885" timestamp="1279844080"] yeah brenhamfan he had seven yards against youll and we did lose but you cant honestly tell me you werent just a little bit worried until the last second run off the clock and an interception  that  ended the game. come on you have to agree going 93 yards in less than a minute scoring a td, then an onside kick which we did recover, then going down to the wire,[b] im not gonna mention that bad call [/b] made by the refs when dron burned you lls #81  who bytheway was holding onto dron all night  slipped out of bounds and they blew the whistle saying dron stepped out of bounds. if they dont call him out of bounds cubs lose 28-27  but they didnt see the holds and did call him out, your defense was stellar in the first half but the second half it was a different story, [/quote] Thanks for not mentioning it.  :)

Good job logo police! Once they have finished scanning the nations high schools they can move on to Pop Warner.  ::)

Where were they bank fishing? Under lights? live or artificial?

Success in 7 on 7 translates to optimism for the fans and confidence for the players. Disappointing performance or no participation at all does not translate into a disappointing season.

At this time of the summer their passing game is prepared enough to compete with the passing games of some of the best teams in the state in touch football. They also have a load of experience and confidence going in to the season. By your logic Lake Travis winning state 7 on 7 means nothing even though they're ranked 1 in the state. No one predicted an LCM deep playoff run like you described it but don't belittle a great summer accomplishment that helps prepare their team for the upcoming season.

Lt - Justin Brock - 6' 5" 245 (returning starter) LG - Lucas McCain - 6' 3" 300 (back up last year) C - Keshawn Davis - 6' 1" 260 (returning starter) RG - Quiton Pollard - 6' 2" 235 (returning starter) RT - Jarred Castle - 6' 3" 250  (returning starter) 1st Sub - Jermain Bowman - 6' 2" - 290 (back up last year) [/quote] Impressive For those of us not in the know; who's team are we talking about?

I have to somewhat agree with the article. A quick opponent with a heavy fist and a little better indurance could be Lesnar’s fall. The final arm triangle was his only highlight of the fight. I don’t know how it promotionally compares with other fights but I know I sure was looking forward to it and really enjoyed most of the fights Neither fighter can compare to GSP or Silva

Carwin jumped on him just like I thought he would. He just didn't finish him off like I thought he would. Props to Lesnar for lasting the first round and coming back though. I don't know if Lesnar will be in a big hurry for a rematch. Some other really good fights last night. Lebon had a great fight and showed his toughness. Bonner took some shots and still won. I didn't expect either of those two to win. A really good night of fights

Carwin has some power and can end it quick as log as he can keep Lesnar from getting on top. 12-0 with none out of the first round. Pretty impressive.

Big fight Saturday night. Certainly a bid for top heavy weight in the world since Fedor lost. I'll go out on a limb and pick Carwin for the upset. Why not two upsets in a row? I saw Lebon on the fight card. He just fought two weeks ago and had a tough first round. That's pretty impressive.

I finally watched the fight and looked like Fedor lost by making a mistake. I agree with Venum, he stayed in the guard. I don't know if Werdum would want another fight Fedor

I love his attitude

[/quote] he has one fight left on his contract so look for an immediate re-match. werdum wants it and im sure fedor would oblige him. strikeforce will be in houston in late august, wouldnt be a bad place for the rematch!  ;D ;D [/quote] You don't think Werdom would rather Overeem?
