    Unfortunately, Posey is at least 1 season away from MLB. It seems like he is not ready for AAA yet. However, Molina has to go. He is so slow and he cannot make any decent contact anymore. Just let him go after this season. Renteria is disgusting. He is old. Very expensive. Cannot hit. Cannot...

    I used to follow Alba from Berlin because they were the only competitive German team in European competitions. Now, not so much. Actually, I do not watch local German basketball at all. They have a bunch of mediocre German players and uninterested American ones who cannot find teams in big...

    What happened to Crvena Zvezda? Is it like Partizan the main force in Serbia now? Is there any talks to unite Serbian and Croatian leagues?

    No, I am not Polish :) I was born in Warsaw, Poland but never actually lived there. My Dad did engineering consulting there for his company in that country. I am actually German. So, honestly, I do not care about their national team )))) I think I should remove that Warsaw thing because people...

    How about Pucetas? I think we should give him a chance. I think that he is better than Sadowski. He has a solid three-pitch mix.

    I am supporting Olimpija because: 1. No decent German teams; no team in Hamburg (my hometown) 2. I like that a small team from a small country competes every year I am supporting BC Khimki because: 1. Newcomers 2. The best team name in basketball :) I assume their real name is Химки in...

    I see that CSKA and Maccabi are playing in the same group this year. It is gonna be hot. However, both teams lost their special status IMO. I heard that CSKA lost its main sponsor (co-owner Mikhail Prokhorov) and therefore, lost some key players and Ettore. Really sad because it was a pure joy...

    Amazing game today!!! Really enjoyed watching!! Zito has been good as of late. It is time to recognize it. Freddy was solid and it really nice to have a .300 hitter at 2B. I am sure that his singles and doubles will help us a lot. May be even more than Garko's power.

    Yes, Vancouver is better :) .. I do not know Warsaw very well though, been there 2 times only. My company transferred me to BC 3.5 years ago to help its North American division, so it was not my choice but I like the area. And do not envy me, moving every 5 years is fun only first 20 years :)...

    I did not say that Sadowski was the reason. Super offense + great pitcher > SF offense + Sadowski means what it means. I do not blame anybody. SF offense (our usual one) + Sadowski combination is not enough to beat PHI.

    Unfortunately, this loss was very predictable. Super offense + great pitcher > SF offense + Sadowski

    It will be VERY TOUGH to win today. I want to be mistaken but I do not expect Sadowski to beat Philadelphia.

    Do not play with my sentence, please. I said - "However, do not you want them to be more sophisticated about it". We were talking about his PR stuff. It has nothing to do with his personality or overall skills as a manager.

    IMO, if we had Rubio (instead of Evans), he would signing poems about his court vision, Maravicheque skills etc. and bashing Tyreke and his PG skill set. And it does not matter what he really thinks, it is about energizing fans and selling tickets. It is a business first and foremost.

    Do not get me wrong .. I understand that it is Jerry's job to say that. And Gavin is not a stupid and naive man at all - he just wanna sell tickets and market the product. However, do not you want them to be more sophisticated about it or at least, less predictable or hyperbolic?

    Jerry ALWAYS do that. He is paid to say that. He is a #2 PR man for the Kings. Gavin is obviously #1 and his speech "We all should be excited to get #4 pick" at Central Court was *** **** **** insulting.
