WTF! is it about Dallas and Staples Center (4 straight wins there)????

Finally, outside of Jordan Hill, a full team for tonight's game! Now if only Hill hadn't gotten hurt earlier in the season.

Good job Percy. 10 days to the start of the season, when the rants mean something.

The guy is now even worse at hitting than Morris Nettles was, and is 35. It's time to call it a career, and be thankful that he had an 11 year MLB career after being essentially tossed by Colorado for Kimera Bartee.

What numbers would make Conger a decent backup for 50 games? Say 25% CS% and .700 OPS?

The Reds built part of their 1975-1976 Big Red Machine on stealing bases and going 1st to 3rd often. An important but: the Reds didn't allow any Torii Hunters to be thrown out too often. If a baserunner showed an inclination for being thrown out, they reined him in. Pitchers and catchers today are better than ever at containing the running game. Of course, the Halos were an exception in 2012, three of the five starters sucking at holding runners.

His defense wasn't a problem yesterday, with two strong throws. Scioscia needs to give Conger 50 games as a starter up here, and see what happens. This isn't 2011, when he got that time and struggled defensively and with a .206 BA. That was TWO years ago. He still had a .636 OPS, not horrible and better than Mathisn't, to be sure. He did hit 6 HRs in 177 at bats. Conger is 25, the time is here! Iannetta will be even more effective in not having to catch more than 110 games.

Wichita State is on to the next round, the same school where WWE behemoth Paul Wight (Big Show) played college basketball for a year in the early 90s.

I'm glad that I didn't fall for all of the Bucknell upset talk. Butler is still a big threat. I was tempted to take Gonzaga through to the title game. But Louisville has a game changer too (Olenyk vs. Dieng).

Calipari is talking about his players from this season, the way Monson needs to talk about his! No rotation spot is safe to start next season! Stick that selfish players!

Fire Monson for bringing in headcases this season! Transfers only work well when one at a time.

I hear a new language is being offered in school: Motaese.

And just why did we need to take out Saddam for good, W? What threat did he pose once his invading of Kuwait was neutered during Desert Storm?

I love the look on Sweet Shane Doan's face when the Kings took a 3-1 lead on the power play.

K-Rod is no longer anything resembling a closer. That time has long since passed.

Back to last night, that is as well as a team can play. Congrats to Tiffoli on his first NHL goal.

Thank the cheap arse owners for the lockout, and the need to create this crazy schedule to compact 48 games into 3 months.

Well, Jackson was starting to decline anyway as a RB. WR still needs upgrades, no doubt.

Was THAT a result of a 3rd game in 4 nights with only 7 players getting playing time? At least Gasol and Bryant returning (hopefully) on Friday should give them solid depth for a change. Realistically, they need to go 10-3 to have a decent/solid chance at passing GS for the 6 seed, and avoid playing S.A. or O.C. in the first round.

Continued Blanton, and not Blantana, would be much appreciated.

Madson, stick a fork in him.

This is a GREAT signing, to get the four time Pro Bowler to protect Bradford!

Thank you Steve Blake for there FINALLY being a Steve Blake sighting!

R.I.P. Steve. He was one of Switzer's first star QBs.

Definately better for the PAC-12 than a year ago, to get 5 teams A year ago, LB was the ONLY SoCal team to make it (SDSU considered LoCal). A year ago, the PAC-12 regular season champ (U-Dub) didn't even make it.
