I've always wanted to check MMA amateur fight night off my bucket list but the real possibility of losing an eye to a strike or a finger-poke keeps me back.
The fact that the Twins gave up on this guy is evidence of their poor judgement. Apparently they can't appreciate the finer points of trash talk from the 2 spot. Look at how Baby Jesus spends the better part of the season on the bench or in a dr.'s office.
Connecting offense and defense seems as dumb as pitch counts. Has to catch because he doesn't hit for power. Really? There's a tendency for big power hitters to play first because they aren't as mobile in the field and first base isn't as demanding of a fielding position so a player with a big bat and a so-so glove can add value in either league. Saying he doesn't hit enough home runs to play first is absurd. He doesn't hit enough home runs to DH, that might be true.
I sure hope this is simply speculation because I don't get this trade from the Wolves' perspective...get a dirty banger for post play to balance the outside threat and ball movement Rubio *COULD* give them with Love floating. As much as I like Beasley trading him makes more sense than Love...no trade!
There's no sign that this is the case...that's not speculation. It's quotes directly from Joe and Gardenhire/Smith. Which is why he's rehabbing in Florida as a catcher. He will not give it up anytime soon, and come hell or high water, the Twins will grant his wish.
Ouch. And he gets the kid-gloves treatment from our pansy coaching staff; what's that Joe? You want to keep playing catcher? Whatever you say, boss. --Ron G.
There's a lot to like about B-EZ...if he can mature, and that's a big if, he showed signs of brilliance late in the year where he'd just take command and everything he threw up went down. About the defense, well...
Anyone with Ridnour's size/athleticism at 30 is OLD in the NBA. He's gassed when he needs it the most.
Yes, another shooter...and the triangle? I'm tired of hearing about that gimmick. I'm no expert, but I really think Kurt deserves another year...that cursed franchise was such a mess when he took over and Kahn screwed it up even worse with his meddling.
Did you? They were in tons of games this year into the 4th quarter...yeah, that's where it matters most, but Flynn was in/out, Love was injured a bunch down the stretch, Ridnour was too old to log the minutes he did, Darko is a B-ball version of Glass Joe. There's not much Rambis could ever do short of donning a uni and going in himself.
How did Taylor amas his fortune? He rode McHale too long. He's riding Kahn to long. For that matter, any owner that comes to Minnesota seems too obtuse to figure out when someone should be fired...must be old money cuz mentalities like those shouldn't succeed in business.
'twould be nice to seem some HD footage of the bodypaint shoot...those are moves I really dig. And honestly, there's never been moves that good among Vikings.
If he can get his clock cleaned by 6'1" Novak on Wolverines, what makes this guard trapped in a center's body think he'll have a chance in the NBA? Stay in school, you need another year...
It's odd that I seem to be the only one who thinks he DID get his **** handed to him...Silva played with him for 4.8 rounds and like a light switch submitted him. He let Chael beat on him and showed the world & Dana White how incapable the LHW competition is. In no way was Silva anywhere near losing that fight. And Sonnen was on PED's at the time making it even more humiliating to lose. Let's recall how battered he looked from the beating he received from Silva while on top! The free shots Silva gave him...Sonnen, go away! And just to show how dominant he was he chose to end a fight fast with one shot...a FRONT KICK! Who wins with a front kick? Silva's a freak, Chael's a cheat.
