When I set this up, I was only aware of the child deaths. I never went back to fix it.
I thought that might be the case.
John Lannan, who by many metrics compares favorably to Kevin Correia, just received a one year deal from the Phillies for $2.5 mil + bonuses.
Yep.
You have to pay bad players more money to be willing to come to Minnesota.
maybe Lannan did not want to sign the the Twins.
Or leave the NL or the East Coast.
without the Twins, 1500ESPN is making a whole bunch of changes. Moving Reusse and Mackey to drive time, Sooch to midday, new partner for Judd (Dubay?) and Mackey says he is not on the Twins beat anymore (but will still write Twins columns)
Only two runs on 13 balls for Tendulkar. Tourist's take Sehwag's wicket in two balls, rouch for Team Sahara.
I'm watching The Wire for the second time as I ride my trainer in the basement. I am pretty sure the moment the show goes from "this is pretty good" to "Wow! this is amazing" is somewhere in episode 9 of Season 1.
We meet Prop Joe, the east-west b-ball game, find out the extent of the money game, Shardene connects with Lester, Wallace and Bubbs want out of the game, Omar almost kills Avon. All this and McNulty has about 15 seconds of screen time.
DWill for Kevin Durant better be one of the trades
Phoenix Suns
The Deal: Williams for Shannon Brown
Atlanta Hawks
The Deal: Williams for Anthony Morrow and John Jenkins
Sacramento Kings
The Deal: Williams and Barea/Ridnour for Marcus Thornton and Isaiah Thomas
New Orleans Hornets
The Deal: Williams for Austin Rivers and Jason Smith
Detroit Pistons
The Deal: Williams and Ridnour for Jason Maxiell and Austin Daye
I would take the first two but I don't see why any of these teams make these deals.
As an authority on fake Derek Williams trades I feel qualified to make that statement.
I think if DWill gets traded there is a third (or fourth because its Kahn) team involved
The Suns would probably make the Wolves take back Mike.
I think I'd be okay with the first three deals, but I really like the Hawks trade. I'm sure whatever happens will be much less exciting than any of those.
The doctor will confirm my suspicions but you do not want Marcus Thorton on this team.
Yeah, I'm more excited about Isiah Thomas replacing Ridnour in that trade than the other, "main" part of it.
I have come with terms to Luke and wouldn't mind him hanging around.
Isiah- $762,000 this year, $884,000 next year
Luke- $4.3 million this year
I like Luke. He's actually having a bit of a bounce-back season so far, with his WS/48 right now (.145) the second best of his career, after the .168 he posted his last year in Milwaukee. It's always good to move someone when they are having an up year, right?
Thomas looks like he's a little worse than Luke defensively (yikes! Probably because he's 5'9" as compared to Luke's 6'2"), but he seems to be a slightly better shooter by both eFG% and TS%. I wouldn't mind a cheaper, younger backup already signed for next year.
Yeah, I'm a little bored today- does it show?
With the Wolves lack of depth at two guard I would be reluctant to move Luke since he has shown he can at least fill against other teams twos. JJ cannot and Isiah will not be able to either with his size.
Don't take this as me saying the Wolves should play Luke at the two. But they have shown they will, with a healthy Rubio, for long stretches last season. If one of the back ups gets sent out if has to be JJ.
Yeah, I'd much rather it was JJ traded away than Luke. Barea's contract is... um... awful? That may be a bit strong, but $4.5 million this year, next year and the year after (I'd assume there may be team options involved) is too much to pay for what Barea can do.
Disagree. Thornton can play. He is an excellent scorer and is decent in other phases.
that Kings deal is one that would make both teams worse.
Almost.
Thornton is excellent and would be a nice fit on a team with a point guard. But Isiah Thomas is...not good. And the Kings already have a logjam of mediocre 4s and 5s.
I am having serious computer issues. This may result in winter league reports being somewhat haphazard for a while. Just wanted to let you know.
It appears that the former Mrs. Karl Welzein has a boyfriend, you guys.
dickey threw a 1-hitter in the trop. seems to thrive indoors. #jays

It is official. Rubio is back tonight!
tWWL had a story (insider) today about 5 trade scenarios for Derek Williams. I think they are over valuing him.
ack, its an insider article

Edit: - Gotta use the "embed tweet" link from the tweet's page. httpv only works for YouTube. - Mags.
Embed!
Thanks Mags! It would seem Heyman doesn't remember R.A.'s time in the Metrodome.
Thankfully, neither do I.
The finish to the Butler-Indiana game was amazing.
I've been Hobbitted.
the Boy and the Girl went last night. I'm jealous.
umm... sean?
nevermind. that was weird.
The best bug reports.
for some reason, this was showing up under the CoC and WGOM fitness titles on the sidebar.
That happens to me about once every other week.
Really? If it happens again, could you get a screenshot of it?
