May 22. The biggest day of my life so far...I wish I was kidding.

There is no legitimate reason why this makes sense. They should have at least waited to see what happened with the lottery...if Oden actually ends up coming here, the greatest available coaches will be popping up from everywhere hoping to have the oppurtunity to coach him. It's either Danny is a complete moron or Doc has some sort of control over him. Doc was whining about how he didn't want to be just hanging there like a lame duck without a contract future so he pushed for an extension recently. I really have no idea why Danny would let him run the franchise like that and back down to him by giving him the job before the lottery/draft. Maybe they feel that this guy is the best coach and the best option for this team or maybe they're just cheap...I have no idea, this extension makes zero sense to me but hopefully we look back on this and realize that it was the right choice.

Please excuse me while I throw up all over my monitor.

Did people not know this? I mean do you think that on every single sports show on the universe, it's just a coincidence that the panelists disagree and take opposing sides on every single subject. These shows are just like any other shows on television. They are ESPN's puppets and will have any view on any subject as long as they get their money at the end of the day. This should not come as a surprise.

It's supposed to be on ESPN2 this year for the first time. Is anyone gonna watch it?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD ONE!!!! ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:harhar:

You guys seriously must have no lives if you turn this into some big thing just over me picking Golden State to win it all and then saying I told you so. I'm sorry if any of you were so offended that you have to piss and moan about it for a whole page.

It's great to see Lester healthy again. One of the most promising things I've heard so far this spring was when Francona was discussing Lester's 2006 season. He was talking about how there was some conversation between members of the Red Sox FO over who would have the bigger impact, Lester or Papelbon. He also said he didn't see the huge impact from Lester that many speaked of but later realized that it was because Lester was sick during the season. This really put things in perspective and reminded me of the type of career that Lester is still capable of. It should be interesting to see the type of impact that Lester has on the back of the rotation this season and hopefully he can continue to progress on his way to becoming a great left hander in this league.

Gravity was really on our side with that play. UNLEASH THE SECRET WEAPON: OKAJIMAAAHH.

Oh...and for my finals prediction. Suns over Piss-a-tons in 6. Also, on facebook's nba playoffs challenge thing, I picked Golden State over the Heat so GO WARRIORS.

Dallas vs Golden State (Don't be surprised if GS takes a game or two, they've had a good amount of success against Dallas recently, however the Mavericks are arguably the best team in the league and barring a miracle, will move on to the second round.) Phoenix vs LA Lakers (The unity and chemistry will be too much for the mediocre Lakers and Raja Bell will be a pesky defender on Kobe yet again. Phoenix is way too strong for the Lakers.) San Antonio vs Denver (Denver has won 10 out of their last 11 and they are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. San Antonio has a 700+ Winning Percentage and a playoff experienced squad that knows how to win in the postseason. This is definitely the most intriguing of the first round matchups and it's difficult to predict the winner but I'm going with the hot hand, Denver. Duncan provides matchup problems for Denver's front court but don't underestimate Marcus Camby who is rested and healthy and averaged a double double with 11/11 this season. The Nuggets have looked like a fluid team ever since Steve Blake took over the PG spot putting Iverson in a more comfortable SG role. Carmelo Anthony will shine like always and the Nuggets have good depth with J.R Smith, Linas, and Reggie Evans.) Houston vs Utah (T-Mac has really gone under the radar this season for a superstar player like himself and the combination of him and Yao should be too much for the Jazz to handle in a 7 game series.) Detroit vs Orlando (Detroit is just too polished and experienced to lose to such a young, unexperienced squad in the first round. Dwight Howard will eat Chris Webber up down low but Detroit's guard play is everything you'd want in a playoff team.) Cleveland vs Washington (Without Gilbert and Butler, the Wizards will struggle to put up a win against Lebron and his streaky team. With Jamison being the main option, the Wizards are much less dangerous and are an almost guaranteed first round exit.) Toronto vs New Jersey (New Jersey has won 8 out of their last 9 and have enjoyed 4 wins in a row which shows that they are ready for the playoffs. Toronto is a young team and they are far from playoff experienced while the trio of Kidd, VC, and Richard Jefferson are ready to show Toronto what a playoff ready team looks like. This series should be interesting and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes 6 or 7 games but the Nets' trio should be too much for the Raptors to handle.) Chicago vs Miami (Miami will prove to be too strong for Chicago to handle. Shaq and Wade are ready to show that they're still capable of doing some damage together and Chicago will be looking back on a "would've could've should've" season. The last time these teams played was back in early march when the Heat won by 33 without their star Wade. Shaq is still a force and Wade will run circles around Hinrich and Gordon.)

The moment we've all been waiting for...The beginning of the Dice-K Era. Matsuzaka vs. Greinke 2:10 PM Kauffman Stadium It sucks that I'm gonna miss the fisrt hour or so of this game because of school but it should be a great debut for Daisuke. He'll be facing an easy lineup today and he should be able to easily dominate this afternoon. I'm guessing a final score of 5-1, Red Sox. We'll win the series which should provide a little momentum for the next few games. GO DAISUKE! :clap:

That really shouldn't be considered in any player evaluation or comparison. Any position player could pitch if needed and usually then only use that when the game is out of reach and the bullpen is fatigued from previous games or used.

Wrong date, sorry about that.

It's not over til Thumper's mom sings.

Can what be happening? It's a 1 run game in the 3rd inning. Relax and enjoy the game.

Haha, you have to love Royals fans. If that was a Red Sox fan at Fenway, he'd have about 25 beers dumped on him, booed for a good 5 minutes and he'd be the postgame scapegoat on WEEI.

:ortiz:

Red Sox will win the East.
