Sports - 24 April 2007

I'm looking for a name which is, well, mean. Preferably not an animal and try and think of something that has not been used.

I have ended up with too many outfielders/utility players through picking people up off of waivers (people dropped konerko and matsui) and my pitching has diminished due to injuries. No one in the league really wants to trade, so I think I will just pick someone up off of waivers and drop....Byrnes I guess. Here is my team (mind you only an 8 person league):

C-Russ Martin
1B-Texiera
2B-Aaron Hill
3B-Wright
SS-Tejada
OF-Dunn
OF-Soriano
OF-Bay
Util-Matsui
backups:
Konerko
Thome
Delmon Young
Eric Byrnes

Pitching:
Starters:
Willis
Sheets
Halladay
Arroyo
Bedard

Relievers:
F.Rodriguez
Ray
Saito

I feel I need another starting pitcher. Out on the waivers are Ervin Santana, Bush, Millwood, Noah Lowry among others who will prob get me some quality starts.

Byrnes is just so hot to start the year, but I can't see this continuing for him, and don't see anyone else on my team who I should or could drop. What would you do?

I see that A-Rod is finally heating up, and Matsui is back and better than ever. But.....COME ON NOW! They are in LAST PLACE!
When are we going to see the billion dollar franchise get another World Series ring??
(I am a Yankees fan living in New England, so Yankees haters please dont respond to this question. I get enough BS about it at home!)

I thought I was decently educated in the rules, but how does Trevor Hoffman get the save tonight? Apparently he came in with 2 outs in the 9th, 2 runners on, and a 5 run lead...gets the out and a save.

I mean, did the Heat show up Tuesday night?

I believe they'll go deep, as far as the finals. Their path most likely would go through Houston and Phoenix in my opinion, two teams they've had success this year and match up well against (cept for Yao, they'll use the Dirk rules on him as well). They would have the most trouble matching up with the Spurs or Nuggets so hopefully the Suns dispose of either. The only team in the east who could give the warriors problems in the finals would be the Pistons.

For those of you who consider Bonds to be an inconsiderate jerk...check out this article and then answer the question.

http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070424&content_id=1927838&vkey=news_sf&fext=.jsp&c_id=sf

Bonds is cheering for someone to break a hr record that he himself set. Is that being a jerk??

For those of you who thinks he is hated by the Giants fans:
watch/listen to one of the Giants home game and listen to all the cheering when he comes to bat...and then answer this question...
Do the fans really hate Barry Bonds????

GO BARRY BONDS AND THE SF GIANTS

I mean wow! I knew they would lose but they just got handed their as*'s on a stick. I feel bad for the East because here comes the suns, or Dallas. I hope Detroit does there homework and if they do I don't think it will matter any.

Your zen crap doesn't seem to be working huh? Do u miss MJ and Shaq? U rode MJ to 6 titles and Shaq to 3 while misleading the basketball world that it was that zen and eastern philosophy that made you a winner, LOL. You didn't fool me. Players win games not coaches. MJ handed u 6 rings and the "Diesel" handed you 3 more. You pick where u can ride superstars to champoinships we all know that. We all know that your zen crap was a joke. The greatest coach Red Aurbach even said it, you pick your spots.

Australia has not lost a world cup match since 1999. Who can beat Australia. Can Sri Lanka do it.

I like Kevin Garnett---20 pts and ten rebounds, and a coupla assists every single day, but Kobe is awesome and T-Mac can take over a game---who is the MAN? It has to be KG, Kobe, or T-Mac

I like SA to win with full heart, but I think Australia is going to win. If SA wins the toss, it should bat first. Only problem SA has is that it does not have a good spin bowler so it will be difficult for it to defend its total. But if SA allows Australia to bat first, I think SA will have very thin chance of winning. So the biggest mistake of SA is coming to world cup without a spinner. So it may lose the chance of winning world cup by this mistake alone. What do you think?

I was at the air port once with my brother and we met them. There was about a dozen people from the smackdown roster there.

I talked to Matt Hardy and Kane mostly, Matt Hardy is weird. He's like "So...how's school?" "It's summer..." "Shut up". Kane was pretty cool, the only non jerk wrestler I talked to.

King Booker was pretty much ignoring us, like he was too good to talk to me or something.

Lamar is a crutch for the Lakers and needs to be traded. He plays no defense and gets into these ballhogging grooves when he's suppose to be a point forward last time I checked. If he doesn't play the point forward he's pretty useless in my opinion. Plus he's a pretty streaker shooter. But anyways, Lakers can't win a championship with him.
