I think his in-game management is terrible, and I don't think his media/player relationship outshines that, I think LaRussa is very, very good at both

I just wanted to go over this. I disagree with this, in the sense that this somehow is supposed to tarnish LaRussa as a manager or somehow put Francona over the top. LaRussa is so much more proven, he's won on different teams over a long period of time, that means rebuilding. Francona has won two worlds series basically because he was handed a job that was a guaranteed success, the Red Sox were a very competitive team, and they still are. Francona has not had to rebuild much yet. I think once he proves himself by actually going through several teams, he will then have somewhat of a case (possibly) with LaRussa. However, it's just to early to put him even in the same sentence. Also, I recall back in the 2004 playoffs Francona made one of the silliest errors a manager could make, he put a very tired Pedro Martinez in, while the Red Sox were dominating. I had no idea why he would do that, but he did, and there was no reason for it. I'm just saying, if you're going to compare someone to LaRussa, I wouldn't pick Francona

I don't listen to Atreyu or Killswitch Engage, I just liked it, I like piercings, you either like them or you don't, it's not just a metal thing, btw

: ( I don't think so

Lol, haven't encountered this "Gom" even once so far : o

Why you hatin' snakebites?

Yeah I have a pretty good rep on here, no one's really mad at me yet or anything so, that's good I guess

But what if I didn't post a picture of myself with my tongue sticking out? Does that make a difference? : p

It's all good man, atleast I didn't say it three times ugghh

: \ Your location says "Dirty South" : p That could be anywhere in the region

Okay, I'll check back again soon

: p Yeah I'd register if it was opened up again to newcomers

Oh s***, > How were you the first to catch that?

True true, and Kevin Garnett, can't forget that, my favorite athlete probably in MN history

Loved Pedro Martinez, loved David Ortiz (He started in Minnesota, mind you) It's really not something that supposed to make sense tbh, but I still love my Twins : )

Bemidji, darling And nah, we're proud Americans here : )

I don't think so, I think it was a shot at Minnesota : p We aren't as bad as Canada

Yeah, and (please, don't take this statement out of context) most of the British I HAVE TALKED TO seem to be angry that they aren't the top dogs anymore, and have to grab at anything they can get. Most of them (out of the ones I KNOW) actually act as though the British are still capable of being the world's greatest power. Anyhow, they aren't, and we share many of out technological advancements with them, because we are allies. That's how I like to think of them, as allies, but for Christ's sake they (of course, only the ones I know) are always talking smack. In case you were wondering, I know a few students from Britain now, known a couple in the past, etc etc and they all seem to have this mindset, that's who I refer to, not the country as a whole so much. All generalizations about a people as a whole are really meant to be for a few of that country as a whole.

No, it's close to Canada, but not in Canada actually

Because height is something that you get from genetics, and speed can be obtained through working out, there's a difference. You can't stretch yourself taller, that's a myth lol, we all know that, but that's the difference. I think there's only a few guys who have ever really had that significant height advantage over everyone, and that was George Mikan, and Wilt Chamberlain mainly, and Bill Russell for a few years before Wilt came along Speed advantages are different in that they aren't that significant, ever. AI isn't even that great anymore with his speed, and also, he has pretty good moves and quickness as well, there are other factors to his game. Wilt was ahead of his time, and I will leave it at that

No, I didn't say he's not better than Divac, lol I'm sorry if that's how it was interpreted, but that's not even a close to fair comparison. I said he'd be a Divac with better offensive skills in todays game, which is a guy who's good for double double statistics, but not one of the elites. And yes, no one will ever dominate like Wilt Chamberlain dominated, but Michael Jordan is as close as you could come, and he has no height advantage

:thumbdown No good man

I see you're from the UK that's awesome we have British fans, well, fans from foreign countries in general lol
