  1. Bottom line is that I've been on this site since two days after it opened, back in 2002. Jason and I are friends not only on this board, but in real life. He supports what I do and I appreciate him helping me get things off of the ground.

     

    I don't understand why you guys are so bothered by this. If you don't like it, don't read, it's as simple as that. There's no reason to even say anything else about it. Move along, the complaining is getting old.

  2. Classy guy and from what I understand, that's why the Marlins have kept him around. They've dumped several other OFs and have hung on to Borchard despite his sub .200 batting average. Apparently they like that he's a good guy in the clubhouse and a hard worker.

    Some of you guys have seen him more than me (I've only seen him in person twice and on tape), but watching Eric Gordon reminds me A LOT of Dwyane Wade's game. Except Gordon is way further along in his development at age 17 or 18 than Wade was, but they play a similar game.

    Gordon's game is simply this: Back off him and he's one helluva shooter. Get right on him and he either blows past you or just muscles his way past. I can see him averaging 8-10 FT attempts per game next year.

    Don't blame the person for crowding the plate. If any pitchers now-a-days were smart, they knock him down everytime. And if you say he'll just let it hit him, well, he'd have to have some big stones to stand there and let a fastball hit him right in the chin.

    I can see both sides to the argument, but it's only really a problem if he doesn't stay inside the batter's box. If he wants to stand there and get hit, that's his prerogative.

    In previous seasons, I would be completely devastated by each loss. Now I just don't care at all.

    Yeah, I have a hard time bringing myself to watch the games.

     

    This team just isn't any fun to watch. I'd say it's time to give up on this year and make any deals we can to get some young talent.

    The incident occurred on Sunday in a 1 run ballgame, a game Louisville had to win to stay alive. The Monday game was a different story. Johnson himself did nothing.

     

    As for Burton, what is the deal with his helmet? He has that extension over his jaw. Did he get hit once and it petrified him or what?

    Not sure if he got hit in the mouth or not, I'll have to ask him in a couple weeks.. I've known him since he was in 2nd grade or so and when I was a senior in HS, he was a freshman. We ran on the cross country team together and made it to the state finals for the first time in school history. I'd be surprised if someone didn't take a chance on him (he wasn't drafted) as he is a really good outfielder and he also plays a good 1B. If he hit for more power, I think he probably would have been drafted.

     

    Dominguez just hit another bomb, he's gonna be a stud.

    And were completely classless in doing. Dominguez showboated the whole way around after a big HR and the manager argues with the ump 5+ times per game.

    I guess the lesson to the story is, don't get beat by 10+ runs on your home field to a team who hadn't advanced past the Regionals in its history prior to this season. I wouldn't expect them to be classy, they'd never been in that situation before, so I would expect that they would be a little more than just excited.

     

    By the way, I'm not a U of L fan by any means, but I do root for them since I have a good friend who happens to be the first baseman.

    His on-base is so high because he stands on the plate almost literally. It's bulls*** to be honest. I'm just going to say it right now that this is one guy I will not be rooting for due to bitterness.

    Great kid, hard worker, what's not to root for?

     

    I guess you're bitter since the Ville won the Mizzou regional, right?
