I guess you can say the Spurs are a "modern" dynasty. In this era of greedy, spoiled players, salary cap, and free agency, they've proven to be a dedicated, classy, and consistent winner. 3 titles in 7 years is outstanding. Scary thing for the rest of the league is, they should be even better next year. Parker gets better every year. Manu has solidified himself as an all-star. They'll get a full year from Nazr Mohammed. Guy's like Brent Barry and Beno Udrih should be better in their second season in Pop's system. They've got a guy named Luis Scola "I can't remember where he's from" comin in next year who's supposed to be an excellent player. And they've still got that Duncan guy.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) His walk rate is cause for concern but his ERA is very misleading he gave 7 runs in the first game of the season and only 4 ER since. I was about to say that. So who would go down? They can't possibly be ready to give up on Shingo already.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 11:36 PM) 3 rings in the last 6 years. I say they are. If not, they are very close. It would be 3 rings in the last 7 years. And I wouldn't call them a dynasty just yet.

Anybody noticed Borchard has somewhat come to life of late? Nevermind. I know he still sucks.

This is awesome. Great job Heads!

I still think Hideaway is Brando.

You know you're good when you're hitting over .300 and people are asking what's wrong with you.

You hear that noise Crede? That's Josh comin for ya. I hope.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:58 PM) my problem with the Twins being so close right now is that we have the best record in baseball. we're 41-19, and only have a 5.5 game lead on a 4 game winning streak. The Twins are a good team. The Sox can only control what they do. If you told me that on June 11th we would have a 5.5 game lead on the team that's owned us for 3 years, i'd gladly take it.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:56 PM) As far as I'm concerned, you were doing fine until this post. If you really liked Timo's game and wanted to defend him, that's all well and good. But since yo are basically saying that you posted this for the express purpose of yanking people's chains, then you are out of line and approaching troll status. Be careful. Yansy has spoken. BEWARE!

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:49 PM) The way we're both playing right now, the Sox and Twins could finish with the top 2 records in the AL. If that happened, we'd have a good chance of facing an AL West opponent in a short series. I don't really like the Sox facing anyone from the West in the postseason given our recent history and what happened in 2000. This is a different team. Whatever happen before this year matters none. With our pitching, I like our chances against anybody.

I can only speak for what i've seen. At this point, i've got to take 93. But 05 has a chance to be much better.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) Before you all flame away there is a method to my madness. Back in 2000 we basically won the division in April and May and took the rest of the year off and it showed when Seattle totally schooled us in the playoffs. We got complacent with a big division lead and we fell asleep as a team. Ideally Id like to see Minny stay 3-5 games back for the rest of the season. That way they keep the Sox honest. If that's the case we'll go into the playoffs sharp and on our toes as opposed to 2000 when we basically backed into the playoffs. As long as we keep taking series, i'm with ya.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:40 PM) Everbody but el duque I know he is 7-1 but he has pitched like he should be atleast 3-4. That's why I love him so much. He can get out of trouble with the best of them. That's a great quality to have.

Excellent performance by Jon tonight. Nice timely hitting. Solid defense. I love it! 22 games over .500 5 1/2 game lead over you know who

s***, our entire starting staff could go.

Hooray for Heep Sheep!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 03:56 AM) Even if 1 of them can't, we've got Jeff Bajernaru down at Charlotte who definitely deserves a chance. And then of course, there's the trade deadline, you know KW will probably get somebody. I agree. Just feels so damn good to have a solid bullpen. We haven't had one since 2000.

Oh man. If Shingo and Luis can just get it going. This pen is gonna be so awesome.

Anybody have any idea on when will know for sure he won't be accepting any offer from us?

This was one of the most boring games i've ever seen up until the 4th quarter. Duncan and Manu took over.

The funny thing is it's not like Jose has flat sucked before this year. He had a very good 03 including a dominant September. And he was flat filthy last year when going atleast 6 innings. It's nice to see that he's finally developed consistency.

I can't wait till we don't have to visit anymore nl parks. I get nervous when any of our pitchers have to run. I don't want any part of an nl park until the world series.

I think we have to keep Everett. I just don't trust Frank will stay healthy the rest of the way. I hope i'm wrong.

Do you despise the Cubs as much as we Sox fans do?
