Obvious move .... only one year too late. May be Will Clark?

I think that Greek teams (Olymp and Panath) will be the best this season. Real and Barcelona are very strong and look great on paper. Group C has two monsters of European basketball - CSKA Moscow and Maccabi TA. However, I am not so sure about them now. Maccabi is not that super powerful...

The Giants are holding a news conference today to announce that GM Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy have received two-year extensions, with club options for 2012.

Am I excited? Yes, I am! Very much! Do I like everything? No, I do not. I am negative about many things. So, you do not have to be only positive to be excited about the start of the season. I think it is Ok to have some anger and criticality among fans. It shows that people still have a lot...

they are also talking about the Kings ... Los Angeles Kings.

German food requires strong stomach :D ... but if you can eat that you will be German tall and strong :) Sauerbraten is good stuff. I think any German food with meat with traditional Weißbrot (white bread) or Roggenbrot (black bread) is very delicious. Fortunately, you can find good places in...

Man, you have been totally mexinaized :) I am having some BBQed sausages with sauerkraut, may be also Paulaner this time - my traditional game day food répertoire. And 0.33 Pepsi, just in case :) Can't beat that stuff :) I just hope I'll be able to watch it ... need to check my schedule and TV...

you would rather want one 2B or 3B than 4-5 singles? yes, because the whole idea is to score runs. And singles are often wasted. Doubles and triples give a great chance to score and rarely results in DP. What good is that 2B when you have nobody to drive you in? that's true ... but also you...

IMO, he is a true HOFer. He made history. He is a first superstar from Asia. He opened doors for many guys from Japan and Korea. He broke several records! He must be there! Is he overrated? I think that he is a little bit over-hyped for his production, not overrated. He is not an MVP...

Exactly! It is a horrible investment. ROI is miserable or most likely negative. That's why it is so tough to find the right person. Obviously, I do not know anything about it but I am 90% sure that the brothers would sell the team (or 50%+ of it) if the price is right. They are not that rich to...

The Nets are just lucky bastards :) Prokhorov was the only super rich guy out there and they got him. As far as I know, Prokhorov is a very talented manager and absolutely loves basketball, which is very rare in Russia where soccer and hockey are the sports. He turned CSKA around (4 Euroleague...

It hard to sell basketball in Russia .... or just tell them Sacramento Kings is in NHL :)

Vancouver??? :) Burnaby? :D

It is a tough situation for Sacramento. I am very negative about our chances. Let's look at 3 main factors: Market - Sacramento is a small-market city; without (almost) any corp-support. Economy - economy is bad everywhere. Just a terrible time for any investment project and building arena...

We are NOT in the midst of a wild card race. We are done and it was decided last week. It was a great season and I am not super upset. This team is just not ready; we are not playoff good. We do not deserve that. We've put too much pressure on our pitchers this season; they are worn-out now -...

You asked - I answered. And it is not about Dunn, it is about BA and clean up hitting. I hope you understand that I have nothing personal against you. However, I find your thoughts about BA, cleanup hitters, Ks etc., being an avid amateur baseball player and fan, a little bit insulting to the...

You did not say that but he looks like your perfect cleanupper. 1. Only 60-65 Ks - check 2. High BA - check Why not the perfect guy ...

Ok, so your ideal cleanupper is Ichiro? He has a great BA!!! BA represents contact, not power. Look at the best clean up hitters - many of them have absolutely terrible BA stats (not bad, terrible) but they all have solid SLG numbers. You want that!!! SLG, OPS!! Not BA. I do not wanna...

Without a question ... BA is meaningless in so many cases (harsh word but it is true) and should be only viewed as an element of OBP. And the fact that Dunn/Sandoval is more effective than Sandoval/Dunn says that Dunn's OBP is much better and they both have almost identical SLG. With Dunn on...

Ok, I am going to answer my own questions. 1. Why do you think it happens? and 2. And why do you think BA is more important than OBP? Yes, obviously, he has a solid OBP because he gets a lot of BBs. It is very important to mention. I am not Asian but I grew up there, played the game there...
