Apparently they moved to a timed round format rather than the "until 10 outs" format. I don't know when that happened since I haven't watched the derby in a few years, but that sounds like an excellent change. i actually hate the format change i'd prefer they not rush so they can launch a...

through the rebuild, i never thought my love for that team as my favorite ever could be overshadowed no matter how good we got. i was so very wrong.

as much as i don't like harold reynolds, i like this

i got the joke

i'm just horsefeathering amazed at what he's doing right now

Ok, sure. Javy is Gretzky. I made no comparison of the tools Gretzky had with the tools that Javy has. Only Javy’s awareness of the game and what’s going on around him. Understand now? Unfortunately, Javy doesn't hit like he knows where the ball is going to be. while sporting a 130 wRC+ imagine if ...

https://twitter.com/highkin/status/1009953283413196800 I don't agree with the comp, but it sucks that there might be some truth to this... Carlos Boozer was a very good player, especially at his peak with Utah. I'd be more than happy if that were his outcome. That said, it's kind of a weird comp IM...

How many NSBBers have died? At least Fred

You were the king of Hong Kong? Sweet.

Yeah, the whole acceleration of perceived time as each moment becomes smaller in proportion to your life is a bitch and definitely not something I was warned about.

I really want Memphis' pick Who do you want. I by no means follow the draft as closely these days, but had kind of resigned myself to one of Bamba, MPJ, or Young being there at 7 and each offering a similar boom/bust profile (granted all in uniquely different ways). It seems possible a trade up to ...

no it's not a concern

Chatwood is almost certainly the other. And they still have one of the most talented rosters in the game and they still have the money to drop a bunch of cash on Harper's doorstep. a few posters there were so relieved when they signed darvish, convinced that it meant there was no way they could go ...
