I always liked using OPS as a stat. It's largely considered to the most telling factor of how good a hitter is doing, it's all encompassing. OPS pretty much takes everything into account, and favors the best hitters.

Sigh, the team name is from Clerks 2. It's ok, I'm taking it back. Anyway, I'll send the money. Any deadline you want it by?

My college's team will win! What's that? They eliminated the baseball program last year? Go Water Polo Team!

Pettitte said it 4 years ago as well. And he stood by it, even though he was offered more money by the Sox. Just because one guy is full of it doesn't mean other guys are.

I liked that they stood up for their captain, I think that's one of the biggest problems the Rangers have had in protecting Jagr. But Lindy Ruff is a complete douchebag, so it's hard for me to sympathize with him and Buffalo. He has a history of getting his players to play dirty, so he should not be crying foul. Play with fire, and it happens. However, it was a cheap shot on Drury, totally unneccesary.

Has any of that happened to Carmelo Anthony?

The Celtics are pretty much the only legitimate claim as a bandwagon team during the 80s. The decade belonged to the Islanders and Oilers in hockey, everyone but the Yankees in baseball, and the Cowboys didn't start winning until the 90s. In the NBA/NHL debate, I really have lost interest in the Association. The game has become a 5x5, 1-on-1 tournament. I also abhor how players get treated, from a young age. If somebody sees some talent, they kiss their ass, tell them their the greatest, and how they don't need to listen to anyone, because they'll be a superstar NBA player. So the players get this arrogance, despite the fact they're incredibly ignorant (Tim Hardaway?), which drives me insane. None of that crap in hockey, the players are much more down to earth. If you chat yourself up, be ready to get your ass handed to you. You don't get to throw a punch at somebody and then sprint to another zip code to get away with it. I do like college ball, if only for the fact that the players there are usually playing for pride, and not to increase the draft status. The game is emminently more entertaining when you see these guys hustling to win, and not avoiding all contact to prevent an injury during a contract year.

He dumped her, and now is the father of her illegitimate child? I figured he was stupid for leaving her anyway. Don't knock up an Irish Catholic girl and expect her to have an abortion. How many times has this happened to Derek Jeter?

Hahahahah. Stupid Brady.

HAH... no. There would be no right handed power in the lineup, and it's just stupid to want to get rid of the guy. He's one of the best players in baseball, I want to keep him. This get rid of A-Rod s*** is getting really out of hand. I wish we had Troy Glaus at third! He hit .252, but he's got a World Series ring!

It's not in protest, I'm showing how sure I am the guy is not going to Boston. Mariano will not pitch for the Red Sox. I'm not going to push it further, I'm not really worried about it. Rivera just wants to get paid, and says he won't act bitchingly as Bernie did. Good for him.

hahahahahhha, that is very funny.

Again, Rivera isn't going anywhere. Mariano Rivera is a centerpiece of the organization, and a productive member of the franchise. Bernie Williams isn't even a spare part at this point. Money won't be an issue, he's just trying to get his big contract. I'll stop watching baseball if Rivera pitches for Boston.

If he just kept his mouth shut and let his numbers talk for him, he'd be fine. I wish somebody would muzzle him. And any Yankee fan with a pulse should realize that Rodriguez is the best third baseman in the league. We're not going to get anybody better than #13, why are you going to drive the guy away?

He's what, 18, 19 years old? Centers in the NBA are a scarce commodity. He'll probably be a good one.

Much ado about nothing. Mariano isn't leaving. Don't be a stupid.

Sick. He was absolutely sick. It was really a priviledge to watch him in his prime. The only thing I really hold against him is his head hunting reputation. He was really the best pitcher I've ever seen.

Well, as crazy as one may think it sounds, I think the Knicks will catch them.

I like the way you think. I dislike England.

If they're in the top 2 of the draft, they'll be pretty damn good next season. Both guys are difference makers.

Next year's Super Bowl is tomorrow?

Bruins really suck. Rangers throttled them the other night, and the Rangers are playing poorly. I'd like to get Boyes if he'll come cheaply. I think he'd do well between Shanahan and Prucha.

Out... I mean, in.

Jamal Crawford went off tonight for 52 and left with 7 minutes left in the third when the Knicks were up by 20. Nice to get some revenge against Miami, especially without Curry manning the middle.
