After a Lakers' victory over the Celtics in 2001, O'Neal pulled a Boston reporter over and gestured toward his notepad. "Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the motherfucking truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

This didn't even make the front page of the LA times(web version) wtf?
I liked the LA Times Sports headlines:
Lakers are Buried in the Garden
Awesome!

He did.
"Bartolo Colon left Monday night's game with back stiffness.
Colon to the DL...shit! Oh wait, 9 game winner Daisuke Matsuzaka slides right in there with his 2.53 ERA, I love these little vacations that they are giving the staff.
i'm not. this is why the nl really showcases strategy and the al drags out a bunch of lugs who bat .260/17/60/.325 as DHs. i think it kills the thinking-man's component of baseball.agreedi seriously think i could manage an AL
NL rules force you to use your bench, bullpen....double switches...
pitchers should be athletes as well....if you cant run the bases or swing a bat without getting hurt, why are you getting paid to be a professional athlete??
I guess it's just the interleague that I don't like, Wang and Colon's injuries are pointless and in one case could severely alter the outcome of a team's season, seems a bit dangerous to me, especially with the amount of time and money invested in pitchers. Mussina bitches about everything, but he has a point: "AL pitchers are at the most risk, because we don’t hit, we don’t run the bases. You get four or five at-bats a year at most, and if you happen to get on base once or twice, you never know. We run in straight lines most of the time. Turning corners, you just don’t do that."

He did.
"Bartolo Colon left Monday night's game with back stiffness.
Colon allowed four runs and six hits in four innings before leaving. It's unclear when exactly he hurt his back, but it may have been when he was batting. He swung wildly and fiercely at a number of balls, once having his helmet come off in the process. We'll update as we know more."
"Bartolo Colon thinks he'll make his next start after leaving Monday's game with back stiffness. "I think I did it on a swing," Colon said through a translator. "We’ll find out more tomorrow, but I think I’ll make my next start.""
YIKES, here I am agreeing with Hank:
“My only message is simple,†Steinbrenner said in Tampa, Fla. “The National League needs to join the 21st century. They need to grow up and join the 21st century.â€
Steinbrenner said he was angry and added: “I’ve got my pitchers running the bases, and one of them gets hurt. He’s going to be out. I don’t like that, and it’s about time they address it. That was a rule from the 1800s.â€
“This is always a concern of American League teams when their pitchers have to run the bases and they’re not used to doing it,†Steinbrenner said. “It’s not just us. It’s everybody. It probably should be a concern for National League owners, general managers and managers when their pitchers run the bases. Pitchers have enough to do without having to do that.â€

i think every met fan knows down deep who we need. bobby v.
fire, check.
media savvy, check.
x's and o's, check.
I agree with Bobby V., though I did read something somewhere I think that his wife lives in Seattle so he was possibly holding out for a Westcoast gig. He would put a spark under those guys though.

doubt it, unfortunately. enough of these scrappy, instinct old farts. we need sabermetrics.
seriously though, only scocia, pinella and bobby cox make any difference. the rest are useless.
the gm makes or breaks the team, and omar signs guys/trades guys out of his ass.
he's fucking clueless.
santana was a fucking no-brainer trade thankfully.
It's not so bad having Bill James on your payroll
.As Managers go I'd say that Torre, Wedge and Francona are pretty good at what they do as well.
I'm still not sold on Santana, his velocity is apparently down and has not been pitching like he did for the Twins. I guess there were some questions in his physical this winter too. The Sox are better without him (I think) the Yankees, I dunno, there might be some regrets there.

Gah, Colon actually lost weight this spring... maybe he's been going out to some victory dinners lately. Timlin needs to be put out to pasture, that was awful last night.
Omar needs to be fired not Willie, too much of what is going on is a GM problem not a Mgr problem. Picking up Trot Nixon was a step in the right direction, he might give the team a bit of spark or personality... the Mets fans were cheering the Rangers for doing the slip n slide on the tarp the other night... I dunno whos decision it was to let Church play, but it seems like the GM would have the final say on that... Philly is too tough, but maybe Manuel can get something going.

So Wang might be out for a while - at least 6 weeks, with "a mid-foot sprain of the Lisfranc ligament of the right foot and a partial tear of the peroneal longus tendon of the right foot." ...Tendon tear is no joke.
Huge blow for the Yanks though, this guy is their ace, can Moose, Pettite or Joba step up and fill his shoes, doubtful.
What to do? Give up some young guys for Sabathia? Though, the Indians arent really out of contention yet... I've seen Derek Lowe's name in the mix, and if the Red's trade Griffey, they'd probably listen to offers for Arroyo, I doubt the Jays would trade Burnett within the division.

I know that a lot of celebrities go to the Lakers games, but could someone tell Jason Schwartzman to get the fuck offa the court? They shooting a movie or something? :confused:

I saw Chloe Sevigny on the train in December when I was in NY for a weekend. She is 1,000,000x cuter in person than even on TV/Movies. Gorgeous girl.
True. I saw her in a thrift store in the east village a few months back, she looked very very good.

Here's a link to a site featuring a YouTube clip (3rd feature up from the bottom of page) of a vintage Levi's jean collection with an original 1910 333 (might be the same pair shown by Cotton Duck in post#1505 - dunno) among others. Vid is a bit grainy, but the collection is pretty damn impressive:
Crazy!

is there any greater sports city than Boston?
Nope. Man, I've been missing the old home place real bad lately. My coworker (huge LA fan, he hardly looked at me today) flew up for game two and said that the town was crazy. I remember walking down to Yawkey Way the day after the Sox won it in '04 it was so fucking eerie, like the town had seen the sun for the first time, then Manny drove down the street with his hand out the window slapping all the fan's hands. Crazy.
Bill Simmons (clearly biased) wrote today about the Lakers crowd:
8:21: Breen says the crowd is very quiet because the fans are "so nervous right now." If you say so, Mike. Maybe the fans are nervous the game might go into OT, and they might miss out on the table they reserved at Le Deux.
I was watching the Met's game yesterday and it's in extra innings and the place is empty... they are playing sub-.500, but I think Fenway would still be rocking. If the series goes back to the Garden the crowd is gonna be fuckin crazy especially after last nights comeback.

Amazing game! I was ready to quit watching in the 1st and hand that one to the lakers. Ray Allen was on fire, I like House being in there a lot. Peirce needs to be on Kobe for the rest of this series.
Arg, crazy!
BEAT LA!!!

FWIW, Osgood's great and all, but he's one ugly man.
No. I'm gonna disagree on this, I'm no Red Wings fan, but he is not ugly, sorry.

I started this a few summers ago, when I found out about the film being made, put it down after a few chapters just couldn't get going with it. How do you like it?
