Posada still in the lineup I see
A-Rod has never hit Pineiro well in the past- hope that changes a little bit today. If he could go on one of his HR streaks, now is a good time (with BOS coming in).

Posada has been hitting the ball hard from what I’ve seen lately. Just bad placement.

Taped “Collateral,” “Bull Durham,” and “Hoosiers.” Didn’t like Hoosiers much the first time I saw it, but that was years ago. Thoughts?

Hoosiers is great also, but maybe I just think that because I like college (i.e., not pro) basketball…

Hoosiers is the best sports movie of all time
Bull Durham is fun and the ladies love Kevin (and Susan Sarandon being in control)
Remember the Titans is also great but really not a sports movie, rather one about race relations

What comment did I make that was so horrible yesterday?
The Russell comment? There are 10 guys who can be considered better than him.

"I'm coming after whoever who has it."
Sigh
Russell was great, but top 5? Come on. He was nothing special on offense, at all. It’s no great thing to win all of those championships when your teammates are the all-NBA second team.
In no order…
Michael Jordan
Wilt Chamberlain
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Shaquille O’Neal
Oscar Robertson
David Robinson
Karl Malone
Hakeem Olajuwon
Larry Bird
Magic Johnson
Hollywood as Hell
"I'm coming after whoever who has it."
Malone, Shaq, Robinson?
ahead of Russell? Russell was a dominant defensive force and could take over games. He was a better player than Wilt, head to head. And comparing Wilt to Russell, he won one title on his own and one with Jerry West. How is Jerry West not on that list? And Robinson ahead of Mikan?
Lance Pendleton's biggest fan.
Are you saying these guys cannot put up a case vs. Russell?
They were flat out better. Russell is not Wit. Wilt is on another level offensively. Russell can be a top 10 defensive player, but Shaq would probably tear Russell up if they both played in either era.
And rings are teams accomplishments.

No, they have NO case against Russell.
Eras cannot be compared head to head, with advanced training regimes, better footwear, health supplements, the league has changed.
If you want to pull stats, Wilt and Kareem are the best players of all time, and MJ is not worse than those two.
Rings as team stats? Sure. Because terrible players win eleven rings all the time. He lead those team.

I'm offensive heavy.
I don’t make up stuff man.
Because one person owned another, doesn’t mean they should be ranked rhigher.
I mean, they played a fraction of their careers against each other head to head.
I said Russ was a game changing defendand rebounder.
My problem was his offensive game. He brought it in the playoffs (esp. against Wilt), but shooting 40% for a C doesn’t scream legendary offensive player.
Hollywood as Hell
"I'm coming after whoever who has it."
if you want to rank offensive players
Russell is like top 25? I am whole picture. Offense, Defense, Success, head-to-head, impact on the game. I have no problem saying Russell didn’t score as much as Wilt, but that doesn’t mean he was worse.
Lance Pendleton's biggest fan.
I know the art of shooting wasn't fully developed yet in Russ's era
but I still think Wilt was better. It’s my opinion. Plus I think I put evidence behind my opinion.

I don’t think so, when I talked to a scout he said “seems extremely bored, and has shown time and time again he belongs in the MLB. Just because he’s not hitting it out of the ballpark, doesn’t mean he isn’t hitting the ball hard. He belongs in the MLB sooner rather than later.”

No. His power picked up last year when the weather heated up, and the majority of those doubles have been halfway up the wall, or balls that probably clear the fence in August.

And apparently he was listening. Long flyout to the wall in left field. He’s inches away from having ~10 home runs.
Baseball Statistics and Acronyms Explained
Follow me on the tweetbox - @LordDuggan12
Nah
Every report says that he’s really bored in AAA right now. He’s always been more of a second half hitter anyways, and like Duggan said he’s hit quite a few doubles that may have been home runs in later months.
And remember, he worked far more on his catching during the offseason and into spring training this year than he did on working on his swing, so maybe taking less swings this year up to this point has gotten him off to a slow start power-wise.
Montero’s offense isn’t something to worry about. I’m more worried that the Yankees FO is stupid enough to keep him in the minor leagues when Martin is playing hurt and Posada can’t hit.

Does that save Nova for the Cleveland series? Or the Rangers? Because if you don’t trust Nova against the Red Sox, why would you trust him against those other two teams? Or are they just pushing him back to limit the amount of games he starts (which wouldn’t be the worst idea ever)? Are all of my comments today going to be questions?

But he really didn't
With the off days he could have made it so AJ-CC-Colon were pitching instead, but he chose not to.
Maybe there is some lingering effect of Nova getting nailed with that come-backer and they’d rather give him some extra time between starts. Pure speculation.

I think you could make the case that a game against the Red Sox is more important than a non-divisional game. If we lose to the Sox, we lose a full game in the standings. If we lose to the Rangers, we lose half a game.

Without Hamilton, the bulk of the lineup is right handed. Putting him in the middle of Young, Beltre, Kinsler, and Cruz makes them much much more balanced and harder to pitch to.

They’re just so expensive and my Minnesota buddy had problems with his. The HP’s get good reviews and are decently priced..
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
Question for you, or anyone else for that matter. Do Mac’s have video cameras or whatever? Maybe it’s Skype I’m looking for? Honestly not sure, just looking for a way to have a video chat with a relative that lives far away.

"No matter what I talk about, I always get back to baseball."
skype is a good way to do that
And I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure almost every decent laptop manufactured in the last two years or so has a built-in video camera.

Yes, Macbooks have built-in cameras.
I love mine and it’s been a great investment, totally worth the extra cost. Just be sure to get Apple Care and you are set for everything that could happen on their end for 3 years.

Yep, exactly.
Except it also includes free phone support for that length of time as well, which is great if you have a quick question. My logic board fried on my first Macbook after 2 years and I didn’t get Apple Care on it. If I had, it would have been fixed for free. As it was, it would have been the cost of a new computer to fix it, so I just got another one with Apple Care.

Sounds like a good plan. If I do get a mac, I’ll get that. Built in camera, is that only to chat with other Mac owners?

I've never had any problems other than that.

personal advice?
go to dell outlet and get a beast that is refurbished with an Intel processor. then buy a $500 mac license (unlimited uses) and convert it to a mac. you get a better machine as far as raw stats AND the mac OS, for about the same price

I’m sorry, but I didn’t understand a word you just said. My brother is a computer genius, so if I ever have questions I just ask him. If I’m looking for a laptop anytime soon I’ll show him this comment.

I'm watching the Dodgers at the Reds right now, but I was thinking of switching over to that.
For now, I want to see what happens here. I have a feeling there is more offense in store.

In other news, umpires are getting more and more ridiculous by the day. It’s sad.

"No matter what I talk about, I always get back to baseball."
Before I say anything, I must say I despise the Boston Red Sox and Jonathan Papelbon.
That being said, Tony Randazzo is more at fault than Papelbon for what happened in the 9th inning of the Red Sox A’s game yesterday. An umpires job is to try to avoid confrontations between anyone on the field, not start them.
Umpires used to just call the games, now they’re just blind “show-boaters” for lack of a better term. I don’t even think show boaters is the right term at all, anyone care to help?

It's pretty startling to see an actual double entendre here instead of a mere pun
(Colon-based jokes don’t count because it’s pronounced differently.)

you say truth
Papelbon should have controlled his anger, yes. but he looked surprised to see Randazzo staring out at him behind Salty. Almost understandable.

Watch the whole inning and not just the clip of the blow up. Papelbon/Varitek/Francona where yelling and whining on every (correctly called) ball six inches off the plate.

Even if so, I think an umpires job is to just eject the guy. I’d much rather see Randazzo just eject him than start arguing with him. Papelbon is a jerk and all, but that’s not what an umpire is supposed to do.

Papelbon was like huffing and staring up at the sky after the pitch was called a strike.
He had already gotten a major attitude when he was thrown out.

So was Chara on the last play. The rest of the team was bad, but Chara and Ference were just hilariously awful on the winning play.

Thomas was too agressive.

A fan at the Dodgers-Reds game just made a brilliant one-handed barehand catch
He prevented it from hitting his daughter, and he did not spill the beverage in his other hand. Then he just sat down like he’d been there before.
