I actually been trying to find a picture of Karkovice but there were not many pictures of him from the front. I guess that says a lot

I really think the mets will win the division. Maine is slowly getting back to his old self after each start, Ollie looks great, Santana is Santana, Figgy looks like a solid #5 (may I say 4) and Pelfrey is very slowly progressing. Hopefully Heilman returns to form, like he usually does in the middle of the season and the Mets should have enough to get by. I’m not too concerned with the offense. Hell in 2000 Fonzie and Piazza pretty much carried the offense. That’s what’s missing…2 hitters back to back in the line-up that hit .324 in the same year ;)

I can’t “tell” if he’s “kidding”

Jim Rome / 4-22-2008

Phillies’ “masher” Ryan Howard got his MVP in 2006. Teammate Jimmy Rollins got his last year. And, it looks like Chase Utley could make it three in a row for Philly! Second basemen, not named Joe Morgan, Jeff Kent and Ryne Sandberg don’t win the MVP award.

But Utley…is a different “cat”! For one, he “mashes”! He’s hit a “bomb” in 5 straight games. Second basemen are not supposed to lead the league in “jacks”, but Utley does. In fact, he’s hit more home runs than the entire Oakland A’s team! He’s one of those guys who just seems to hit everything on the barrel of the bat. He squares-up everyone and everything! He’s just laying out “laser beams”! And, he’ll beat you with his glove too! He saved Philly a couple of runs when he started this inning ending circus double-play ball in the third yesterday against Colorado. That’s a Gold Glove play right there! An MVP play!

Utley may not launch 600-foot “bombs” like Ryan Howard. He may not have the oversized personality or swagger of a “J-Roll”, but he’s usually the best player on the field on any given night! And considering he shares the same infield with a couple of MVP’s, that’s saying something. The guy can flat out “rake”! The guy could go blind and still hit four line drives a night!

Dom Mossi had two careers, one as a reliever an one as a starter, and he was pretty darned good at both. No one who saw him play remembers that, because Mossi’s ears looked as if they had been borrowed from a much larger species, and reattached without proper supervision. His nose was crooked, his eyes were in the wrong place… he looked like Gary Gaetti escaping from Devil’s Island.
One of the problems with choosing the ugliest and handsomest players is that a player who looks short of grotesque in one pose or one photograph will look fine in another. Susie, [James’ wife], showed me a picture of Hoyt Wilhelm in which he looked positively handsome. I assured her it was just a bad shot.

You never had this problem with Don Mossi. Don Mossi was the complete five-tool ugly player. He could run ugly, hit ugly, throw ugly, field ugly, and ugly for power. He was ugly to all fields. He could ugly behind the runner as well as anybody, and you talk about pressure… man, you never saw a player who was uglier the in clutch.

got this from deadspin

Man, the Spurs are such a disruptive defensive squad. They are locking the Suns offense down.

By disruptive you mean “mid 90s Knicks foul like hell and foul so much they won’t call you for it.”

the toronto/orlando game was damn good tonight, crazy ending

David Stern is praying that someone beats the Spurs. Watching them win again would be horrible. Matter fact I bet he’s wearing a Kobe jersey under his suit.

It’s an a-tot for A-Rod, congrats to him.

Washington beat Smoltz tonight huh. So they’re feeling good about themselves, just we needed.
Comment posted by Dominatrix Cheeseburgers on April 22, 2008 at 11:40 pm (#666577)
Say what you want, if the Spurs were a big market team noone would be complaining that they are boring.

BTW, New Orleans looks sooo good against the Mavericks. They could very well take it in 5 if they split in Dallas.

There the New Jersey Devils of the NBA. They’re good but a bit too machine like.

so right doc theyy are sooo boring friggin spurs ,,

Its an analogy that works on multiple levels. They are also a small market team that doesn’t get the national attention for feilding one of the greatest players of all-time (Tim Duncan/Martin Broudeur) in his position or for consistently playing at a championship level for years.
Comment posted by Future on April 22, 2008 at 11:45 pm (#666581)
And the Rockies bullpen chokes again. Lovely. 1 run in the 8th, 3 in the 9th and the Phillies win 8-6.
Comment posted by DoctorK16 on April 22, 2008 at 11:47 pm (#666582)
All true Ramon, but I’d rather watch Paul, LeBron, Kobe, Dirk, McGrady, et al, than them again.
Comment posted by Future on April 22, 2008 at 11:48 pm (#666583)
Also Tim Duncan is the whiniest player in the NBA. If the refs didn’t suck his dick so much, he would be getting way more Ts than Rasheed Wallace.

Martin Brodeur whines and dives a lot, and a lot of the time he gets the calls because the only women he’s not sleeping with are the refs wives.

I’d rather watch the better team. If pretty basketball is so great then the Suns would have been champions the last 2 years and wouldn’t have needed to trade for Shaq.

Future calling someone else whiney? Well, if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black if I saw one. Besides, we all know Kobe Bryant whines at a level beyond anyone else in the league. According to the self-annointed Michael Jordan II is the only player to have never fouled anyone in the past ever before because he sure does complain whever a foul call is against him.

Our fantasy league is crazy. Nobody will do a Lister on it this year. PHL was behind me this weekend and now he’s leading again. It’s easy to make up 30-40 points in no time.
