Why did Klinnsman play Alvarado instead of Gonzalez? I really hope Besler not being on the roster has something to do with MLS. Otherwise, he should definitely be on the roster.

I wasn't able to watch the game, but from the box score, it looks like Honduras had the ball quite a bit in our half. We were a lot more clinical with our chances, which is why we won, but 16 shots is a ton of chances to give up.

Aaron Brooks back on a one year deal. I would have liked an upgrade, but it's better than him leaving and playing Kirk more.

How the hell did Kershaw not make the all-star team?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 12:04 PM) USSSA is weird. We play in a hybrid ISA/ASA league, and there have been a few players that have come in from USSSA and they have been totally outclassed. I dont know what the difference is, but we had one guy pitch against us, and he was a tourney player. We lit the guy up, the final score was like 26-2 slaughter rule, and when he hit he looked like he never swung a bat. USSSA pitching is flat. The arc is 3-10 feet, so people can tee off more. When you put in the 6-12 foot ASA arc, a lot of players struggle with it. I have two completely different approaches for the two leagues. I don't have any kind of leg kick in USSSA, but I almost have to in ASA or else I'll hit everything foul. I actually enjoy USSSA pitching more, but people who usually play the tournaments are assholes. Whereas you get people just playing for enjoyment on weeknights, some of the people who come out of the weekend tournaments think softball is their life. Around here, USSSA is where all the best players play. If you want to play real competitively, you play USSSA. I've never seen an actually sanctioned ASA or ISA tournament here in Austin.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 15, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) We noticed yesterday that two traveling teams from our area joined our Thursday rec league to get extra games and at bats in. It's BS because they will just kill everyone and meet in the title game. It's a f'n rec league. Go somewhere else. We used to have a ridiculously good team on Thursday nights. We didn't lose a game in 2 straight seasons. Then our manager got really involved in USSSA tournaments and started using the team as a way to recruit players and try them out before tournaments. Then we started sucking and more or less everybody quit the team. League night just isn't fun anymore when you're using it to warm up for tournaments or bigger games.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 11:35 AM) Make Swaggy p happen. I'm not sure we can. Lakers are looking to dump salary, we have no space and no non-guaranteed contracts they can dump.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 11:06 AM) I want to punch him every time he's on screen. I wanted the Rock to punch him in the face in the scene where he pushed him down.

I never really liked Rachel McAdams before...but her being a badass in True Detective is hot as hell.

Reggie from Ballers is annoying as hell

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 5, 2015 -> 07:01 PM) Saw a few reviews from people that saw it at Sundance, they say he steals the scenes he is in. Excited to see it, have a hunch it's going to be one of those classic comedies of the last 15 years (40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, ect) I mean yeah, it's LeBron James. He looks like he won't have a major part in the movie, but probably will be in 4 or 5 scenes.

Holy s*** Carli Lloyd! That was a chip from the half-way line. Damn!

That should probably do it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 5, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) Too easy. 2 goals in 6 min Killin' it on set pieces so far.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 5, 2015 -> 04:51 PM) I think he looks pretty funny and natural. Plus I doubt they are intending it to win him an Oscar. I've seen the extended trailer and some of his lines are actually funny. Judd Apatow's one of my favorite directors. But some of his lines along with the acting just seem awkward.

The trailers for Trainwreck are starting to become more frequent on TV and LeBron should really stick to his day job. He's not an actor and you can easily tell. A lot of his line delivery seems really awkward.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jul 5, 2015 -> 03:35 PM) Cavs supposedly might trade for Joe Johnson. The luxury tax could be insane. Who would they trade for him?

Gonzalo Higuain is awful. That is all.

DeAndre Jordan on the verge of signing with the Mavs. I think this really ups Joakim and Taj's trade value. The Clippers are without a center right now.

Robin Lopez just got 4 years and $54 million from the Knicks. What a f***in' joke.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 11:57 PM) Wes Matthews is signing with Dallas so the Kings have struck out there even though they offered 4/65. Almost $17 million a year for Wes Matthews? Not to mention the guy just tore his Achilles.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) Very surprised the Lakers are getting a 2nd interview with Aldridge as well, considering the first one went so badly. Apparently Kupchak and Byron Scott are going to be attending this one though, but uh maybe they should have ya know been at the first one, instead of the Lakers just selling how much money LA could make on outside endorsements as their main pitch? I couldn't see Bosh and Aldridge co-existing in Miami either, I think Phoenix is the wild-card team, they dumped salary to Detroit, so they have the cap room now. Bosh would have to play like a 3. While that's fine offensively, I don't think it'd workout so well on the other end.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 04:39 PM) Wow. Quite the turn of events. If he chooses them, Riley solidifies himself as a true GOAT and the favorites in the East. Dragic Winslow Bosh LMA Whiteside That's absurd. Yeah I wouldn't go that far...

Riley is meeting with Aldridge tonight. I'm not sure how they can work it out salary-wise if Portland doesn't want a S&T.

I would really like Beverley or Lin as the backup PG. Both have a lot of suitors though and the Bulls can only pay the taxpayer's MLE.
