I believe that Manny has been screwed over by his doctor.

Ramirez is expected to attribute the test results to medication received from a doctor for a personal medical issue, according to a source familiar with matter but not authorized to speak publicly.

Yeah this is nuts.

I am saddened by this...

wow

If they f*** up the Deadpool movie, I will kill whoever wrote and directed it. He f***ing said "Shoryuken" and uppercutted that broad. There is no funnier/cooler character. Back to your regularly-schedule Star Trek conversations.

That was an amazing post.

Maybe I have the blinders on then...

I'm not talking about changing the game. Yes, Jordan paved the way for guys like LeBron. I'm saying... if you were starting a franchise, whom would you want, right now? They will play in 2010. You guys have the blinders on if you don't say LeBron.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 7, 2009 -> 05:31 AM) How many rings has Lebron won? After this season, 1. How many rings had Jordan won at 24? Zero. He didn't win it until he was 28. I love, love, love Jordan. However, LeBron is on another level... he's a freak.

Good. World Series hero looked weird with #1 on his back.

If you were starting a franchise... whom would you select? You get said player as he enters the NBA. I'd be taking LeBron. I love Jordan, but LeBron, in my mind, might already be as good as Jordan ever was... at 24.

I'm down.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:21 PM) I wonder where that team is going to move, because it seems pretty clear they need to move. Obvoiusly a winning team would help, but Phoenix doesn't seem like an enviornment condusive to NHL success. As for the Hawks last night, just an awful performance all around. Let's hope game 4 is better because it's the season on the line. If they won, at all, they would survive. I think the obvious choice would be to send them back to Winnipeg... or to Quebec. They moved during the exodus of Canadian teams when the Canadian economy was so outrageously worse than the US's. Putting another 1 or 2 teams in Canada seems like a no-brainer now.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:18 PM) I can live with the trade because Tyrus showed some major improvement this year IMO and I think his attitude now is a lot better than it was. But it was still an absolutely horrific trade, and that's reality. As for Tyrus' defense, I will say it was a lot better this year (as was everything else he did), but he still played below average defense (much better defense, but still below average) and took way too many goaltendings IMO. As for the post (can't remember who it was) which said Derrick will never be a top 5 player because of his defense and jump shot, well he will never be one with his current defense and jump shot, but those are things that can be impoved. I think his jump shot this year was much better than his jump shot at Memphis, and I think he will continue to work hard and continue to improve on it. As for his defense, that's the #1 reason I want VDN gone, defense. Derrick, and everybody else on this team, will struggle to improve on defense as long as a coach who simply does not care about his team guarding is in charge. And you can't win a championship that way. Look ma, a good post!

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ May 6, 2009 -> 11:43 AM) I also find it funny that the very same people who claim defense is the uber important thing in a team and b**** about Gordon's defense, complain about one of our top 3 defenders and our best post defender whether you like to admit it or not. But he's not a good defender. He gets blocks. He also takes stupid fouls and plays ole' defense way too much. Blocks do not = defense. See: Chris Kaman.

Norton... still the greatest.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ May 6, 2009 -> 11:19 AM) Rose won't be a top 5 player ever with his lack of a jumper and non-existant defense. Wow.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ May 6, 2009 -> 11:16 AM) Tyrus came from the side on that play and still tried to block it. I give him props because a lot of guys don't jump for the fear they may be embarassed. Tyrus will jump with anyone if he has a shot. I wouldn't use this youtube video as a knock against Tyrus. Honestly, I would attempt to keep him. Hope he improves more this offseason, because he did make steps, and see what we have next year. It wasn't a knock. It was just funny.

Eh, you can get the Sony Reader for $250.

One neat thing about these digital books (it doesn't have to be a kindle, my buddy has a Sony one) is that there is no backlight. It's almost like an etch-a-sketch or whatever in the form of words. This does quite a few things... it's not like looking at a computer monitor, it looks like a page of a book... muted, not glowing. It also allows the battery to last forever, because it is only used each time you turn a page. The screen memorizes what is produced and holds it there without battery life. I go to the library so much that I doubt I get one soon, but if I start traveling for work soon and can have tons of books on my device... it will become a must-purchase.
