Not just Reese. The entire league seems to be on a jealousy trip regarding CC. She's almost averaging a triple double despite a couple really bad games from a production standpoint. Do a search on youtube and virtually all the podcasters agree with greg. So please don't make it seem like I'm an outlier on this issue of Clark getting clobbered. I can start linking stuff if u want. Again podcast after podcast agreeing with my stance on the alleged headhunting. As far as Reese see what Dan Patrick said today. She's a fine player but truly nothing special in terms of talent. CC has a talent kids notice ... 3s from the logo. Reese 33 percent shooter patrick said. She's a fine player as evidenced by her double double averages and plays for the great town of Chicago.

How can u deny a shot to the head is not good in basketball or hockey which I played both. You get hit in the head and those are fighting words so to speak. That one angle shows Reese headhunting so to speak, so what's your beef? Not sure how you can defend a foul to the noggin'.

OK. Fair enuf.

Not sure what I think of Doris' comment there. I generally like her commentary and play by play.

CC is all over the podcast/talk show world. Lot of discussion. LeBron and Charles B have supported CC as well as Serena. Maybe it can't be discussed here. That's fine. Lock 'er up if u wish. On fouling ... it's an unwritten rule to not go after the head and not clip someone's knees or calves on a 3 from the corner.

Nope. Disagree. A lot of national pundits are agreeing it was an egregious foul. Watch from different angles. She went for the head IMO. Also CC teammates have not been backing her. Sorry to disagree with you but it's pretty obvious to many that the league wishes Ms. Clark would go away. All Star game is gonna be funny. She's gonna make it. Will her teammates pass to her? Will other team knock her block off so to speak?

I just disagree. She was headhunting, sir. CC has been fouled 'too' hard in each of her games. I don't even want to address any race issues. Some of us in America see people, not color. Nobody may believe me on that but it's true. CC is getting the rude treatment from the league players. No reason for the bitterness against CC.

Agreed that today's loss was just a normal one. Down 9-1 after 3 or 10-1? That's pretty normal loss for these stiffs.

Clark 23 9 and 8 today? She's an all star folks. Put her in the all star game. Can u imagine that game when all the stars get to attack her with flagrant 1s? It will be so obvious. Why don't they just put her in one of those dunk tanks before the game and let the WNBA clowns throw balls at her and dunk her? Or make her dress in her own separate locker room since they despise her so much (see today's headhunting foul). Wonder what kind of crowd they had today. WNBA doesn't interest me enuf to watch. Just following CC's stats when I remember they have a game.

What a bad loss. Sox get thumped and lose another series. Is Thorpe destined to stink cause he has no heat? Why was he so high on our prospect list with a lousy fastball? Got to bring the heat then throw it in the dirt for the K in this HR or nothing era. Who is this Kuhl guy? Sox get destroyed today as they flirt with their 20th win.

I don't think it's an act cause they are headhunting poor CC. Going for the head is not good, folks. This whole CC saga is disappointing on so many levels. Summary: College phenom joins fledgling league and immediately brings better conditions to the participants in the league with a lot more salary to come after a new TV deal. Jealous league participants can't be thankful, they try to remove the player from the league by harming her on the court and/or trying to get her to say some anti-woke stuff off the court. You can't make this up.

Fedde, Crochet and Thorpe is 3/5s of a a solid rotation. Move Kopech to starter and 4-5 starters are set. Just sayin ...

I enjoy your posts. I guess I'm really sickened by what Clark is going through. She played four years at Iowa. Now she has to deal with Stephen A Smith spouting gobblygook when all Clark wants to do is play ball and get her body through this WNBA season so she can finally rest her body after so much ball. I'd throw in the towel and go play in the Big Three. Why not?

This is the type of game optimistic Sox fans expected. Four home runs will pace even a historically bad team to a win on a given night.

That would be perfect if she joined that Ice Cube League. Clark is trying to be nice and humble and not respond to all this b.s. A great way to respond to all this WNBA resistance would be joining the Ice Cube League as you say and put the WNBA on hold til the league can handle a situation like this better. She has a lot of power and understandably doesn't want to use it. But she may have to use it if this gets any worse.

Lotta home runs. Is Sosa a better prospect/player than Moncada? Is Lee on track for a huge career?

I disagree. Here's the reason Clark was so popular in college and coming into the league and why the unexplainable jealousy and hatred of NBA players and media toward her is so disappointing: It has nothing to do with skin color. She shoots from the logo like Steph Curry which people LOVE. Her long-range shooting is special and remarkable and fun to watch those bombs flush through the hoop. That's why attendance is so high in the WNBA for her games. Also in college she had spectacular passes like Maravich in some respects. Finally she is the bleeping ALL-TIME leading college scorer men or women for gosh sakes. Kudos to Charles Barkley, LeBron, Paul Pierce and some others for speaking out in her behalf. And shame on Stephen A Smith for his little diatribe Friday blasting her. Very sad stuff. If I were Clark I would immediately leave the WNBA (she can afford losing a 75000 salary, big deal there, lol). Sign with a European team for the upcoming season, get a few weeks rest and see if Nike will keep her shoe deal, etc. Get out of that league now where she is considered the enemy and not even getting great support of her teammates. Just my take. (Some of the coaches statements have been disappointing as well re. Clark). Let her play ball. Geez.

That sucks. He just wouldn't ever be negative about the Sox. Positive at all times. The Sox pretty much got to the rest of us.

OK, end part of the hex. PICK HIM UP. Pay him minimum; Astros pay rest. GO SOX! Jose baby!

Whatever happened to the most positive sox fan ever, El Rockin? Is he OK? Bad loss tonight. 7-1 beatdown. Had to be awful watching it.

Thanks for the link. I'm definitely a CC fan. She's even trying with an aggressive antagonistic media that for some reason is mainly asking her societal type questions, nothing about basketball. She's kept her cool and given great answers but I wouldn't blame CC for turning into a one word or two word interviewee. The media for some reason wants her out of the league; the players of course want her out of the league. Bizarre, sad, weird, I guess modern America. We hate each other greatly. We hate everybody.

Nice posts Caulfield. I realize there are some good players who have joined the league of late not just CC with those u mentioned still to come. But why the sudden interest in the actual women's game? They do not dunk. They miss a lot of inside shots. There is absolutely no athleticism. Yes some pinpoint passes are exciting but they've had the passing in year's past and nobody cared. So u are telling me the league is popular and not just cause of CC? Interesting. No offense but I'm not a big fan of the game. I do find CC's deep 3s intriguing though. The way they go through the hoop. She definitely is quite accurate. She puts the rock rite in the middle of the goal. What balance.

Crochet is so good it's hard to believe. Every GM of a contender should be wanting him. You inherit a No. 1 starter who makes no money to speak of. He actually was Sox best top 15 draft pick in eons. Hard to believe they will give one of their own away even if it's for a king's ransom. If some team wants Crochet, it has to be an all time one-sided deal. They get a No. 1 starter who will lead them to a pennant probably and we get 6-8 players, four of which are top 50 prospects. I want to keep him for the record. 13 Ks on the road today? Excellent dominant job by Crochet.

Great post. Can you imagine the hatred that will be involved in that game?? The WNBA all-star team will not want to pass to Clark, their teammate. Meanwhile the Olympic all stars will be out to mug her so to speak. Clark will be pushed, shoved, maybe even a box and one on her. The mission will be to stop Clark at all costs. This is all so stupid and unneccesary. Even LeBron has spoken up for Clark and that did no good. It's going to be ugly in this game you suggest will be played. So ugly. Clark's teammates will 'hate' on her; the olympic team will be out to stop her at all costs.

The jealousy is off the charts. It's as if most of the NBA players would be fine with kicking Clark out of the league. I guess they are offended people are saying the league can't make it on its own (sans Clark). I wonder when there will be a real fight in a game. Which WNBA player is going to flat out slug CC with a right hook?
