Re: MLB March/April 2014

Did Jim Johnson used to be good in Baltimore? He's sure blowing goats in Oakland. And, saves. Kinda. But not really. It was weird when the locals got all pissed when the Orioles let him go for a bag of beans, conveniently forgetting that he can't really get a K and relies on BABIP not killing him.

Dave, Calipari used the more traditional "one and done" model at Memphis, where he would have only one such player a year (if that) and would have a more veteran traditional team around the talented "one and done" player. The most successful for him was the Derrick Rose finals te...

I am not looking for equal time trashing.

I was simply posting that piece because of the study that was at the center of it. I am sorry that the vehicle for that caused the thread to derail.

Tired of Calipari yet? I'm not tired of him, but I sure would like to see some better played basketball. These guys don't run any kind of offense and they are lazy on defense. Sure, some of that is coaching, but effort is hard to put into a guy who doesn't have it. Hey guys, just wanted to update y...

Done. Went all-in on my Q8 when the board flopped an 8/5/4 (needed a win to pick up some stack...was down to $150K in chips and was losing ground rapidly to the field).

Too bad someone had called with a 7/6.

Ah well. Made it to somewhere in the 90-93 range for the tourney.

The Reds are on pace to score 0 runs this year. That will make it hard to win.

Also, Billy Hamilton is on pace to strike out infinity times. Would probably be a record.
