Oh don't even go there, nah-uh! Why don't you read some Horatio Alger, you Un-American swine

Which is ironic. And expected.

Then withhold your judgement, partna. For someone billed as a bench player coming in, White Boy Kirk can flat-out ball. He'll be a good all-around player a year or two from now. Hell, check out his February #s and compare to his Nov-Dec production. Every single aspect of his game, from free throws to splitting double teams to checking the point (he shut down Francis, J-Williams and Bibby just recently), has improved in just a month or two.......... Don't get me wrong, his tentative 2-point jumper still needs work and he's so scared of refs blowing the whistle on the D. end at the slightest touch, he often plays it TOO safe.....But both are correctable. If only he weren't surrounded by heartless pussies who can hardly do anything on either (and I mean it) end of the floor. Curry, Craw are dumb, lazy and soft while Davis and Gill are simply too old. They can't make a lay-up half the time and I am not even gonna mention Quame f***in' Brown not even bothering to guard Eddie Curry since the latter wouldn't know what fighting for the spot is if it gave him a haircut. And other similar things that detract from Hinrick's effectiveness. If John Stockton had to plays with these yahoos.....

And this makes it patently different from the rest of the SeeBS ouerve how?

Lest you forget: a happy queer is a queer who spends. Are you against a fabulous economy?

You're right, Adonai is just gettin' started.

How dare you!

Huh?

Did I stuttttter?

Dammit, are you of the belief that Jews are the Chosen people or not!?

Then who should shoulder the load of paying for the slew of social programs, inner city education, arts, college grants, etc, etc, etc?

No thanks, I don't do comedy.

Let's hope Frank breaks out for a 1100 OPS season and we can all have a laugh about this schitzophrenic off-season in November.

. You left out the trillionaires, possibly the most taxed and persecuted sub-minority in the US.

Nobody says he'll be a perennial All-Star starter -- just that once he learns the league (you could actually see him improve his decision-making in almost every game), starts getting calls from the refs and gets a few teammates who can shoot worth a damn and draw double teams........he'll be a 17pt/10as/4reb/2stl player with a good D and fans' goodwill. In an off year, that translates to an All-Star reserve spot or two. Watch some games next time. It helps.

710+ OPS for a potentially Gold Glove catcher, a good speed, some bunt skills and who hits from a 9th spot? I'll take it for now.

Hellava playwright, too.

While he may never be pre-injury Sabonis (would have been one of NBA's all time greats), for a 17-18 used to a completely diffrent style ball, he's alright. I agree that he is much harder to project. but I have a feeling 4-5 years from now, he'll be in the All-Star game.

No s*** But also a little you gotta admit.

Olivo's last seaosn at AA, he showed he could hit for average, power and walk as well. Him, Rowand and Harris will prove y'all wrong. I see Miggy in 250-255 range, a 305 OBP and 405 Slug and 12 steals.

Is that right?

I thought it was too verbose.

Huh? A-Boone is a mediocre-fielding 3B. What makes you think he could handle 2B, let alone SS? Above-average throwing arm? Hell, lets convert Olivo to SS, then. Oh and Soxbadger, I agree: people who want to run Jose out of town are evil freaks whose graves I will surely urinate on.

No way - his Kashmir is better. Word to whoever said You oughta KNow. Good song.
