QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2010 -> 03:39 PM) Put this in layman's terms? How can a team be bankrupt if it is worth zillions? If you go bankrupt, doesn't that mean you have no worth and your credit card companies are out of luck? What does this mean for a baseball team? Why does the government allow them to declare bankruptcy when they are worth lots of money?? How can a company go bankrupt if they are worth billions? Their debts more than out-number their income. They have 100 mil profit and 300 mil loss. Tom Hicks is a financial idiot. Someone else can fill in the other answers.

There goes the Oswalt speculation... unless they send $$ players back to Houston.

Gonna be a lot of Ks tonight. I expect a low scoring game unless the bullpen blows up.

Stay at a hotel near the stadium, all have free shuttle service. There are a few bars near the field, but nothing spectacular. http://www.hotwire.com/hotel/details.jsp?a...dId=97088941313 Hotwire has one for $60.

Sooooo, AT&T is raising the termination fee from $175 to $325 to leave the iPhone for another phone. Sounds like Apple's smartphone market share is dwindling. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/arti...t_fee_hike.html

QUOTE (bmags @ May 23, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) STANLEY CUP FINALSSSSSS... I don't remember s*** from 92, I didn't get into it until 94, one of my fav teams everrrrrrr... The mid-90s sell-off following the Cup thrashing at the hands of Lemieux, Francis and Jagr killed my budding fandom. Wirtz and his clueless front office didn't help either. Trading or allowing free agency to Roenick, Belfour, Chelios, Suter, Sutter, Amonte, Carney, Krivokrasov, Smith, Murphy, Nicholls, Matteau, Weinrich, Ruutu, Poulin and other guys for crap just stomped my heart flat. That said, good luck to the new 'Hawks in the Finals.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 23, 2010 -> 06:21 PM) He's pretty much a non prospect at this time. He's 26 years old. I don't think KW asking for him would hold up any deal, but I wouldn't expect much from him if he was acquired. I'd still take him for Jenks. Jenks is expensive, erratic and useless - as long as the team can't give him a 3 run cushion going into the 9th inning every time he comes in.

THEY'RE PLAYING FOR THE CUP!

Buff's the underrated MVP.

Well, the Phillies know questionable relievers when they see them.

Did Peavy bat? The widget said that he did.

FYI, "fiancé" is male, "fiancée" is female.

Let's face it... Fire Don Cooper.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2010 -> 10:04 PM) Phil Jackson was a nobody when he was hired by the Bulls. He had only been a CBA head coach before. But he was a different voice with a new perspective.

I speculated it because it could mirror Doug Collins getting fired in favor of Phil Jackson. Sure, the Bulls won with Collins, but they didn't "get over the hump" and win it all until they got a better coach with a new perspective in Jackson.
