  2. Yikes...
  3. No 12th man? Might as well waive a white flag.
  4. Oh wow, you don't see that often.
  5. Mariners choked away a 3-1 lead in the 8th to lose 4-3. Nice.
  6. Sources: Cleveland Cavaliers hiring Kenny Atkinson as coach The Cleveland Cavaliers are hiring Golden State Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson as the franchise's next coach, sources told ESPN on Monday. The sides have started work on a contract, and a deal is expected to be reached soon, sources said. The Cavaliers' process had been pared down to Atkinson and New Orleans Pelicans associate head coach James Borrego, sources said. Borrego, who worked the past season with new Detroit president Trajan Langdon in New Orleans, is now expected to become a prominent candidate in the Pistons' coaching search, sources told ESPN. Atkinson, the top assistant with the Warriors, takes over a Cavaliers roster that advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals and won 99 regular-season games in the past two seasons. He joins an organization that includes two key players who blossomed during his tenure as the Brooklyn Nets coach -- Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert. Cavaliers president of basketball operations Koby Altman and general manager Mike Gansey are especially eager for Atkinson's reputable player development program to impact young center Evan Mobley, sources said. Cleveland's offseason priority turns fully to securing All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell on a contract extension. He has one year left before he can exercise an early termination option. Atkinson was 118-190 in three-plus years with the Nets, inheriting a full rebuild and showing improvement each season until he resigned after an injury-plagued 2019-20 season. He spent the 2020-21 season with the LA Clippers as an assistant before joining Steve Kerr's staff as the top assistant in 2021. Two years ago, Atkinson briefly accepted the Charlotte Hornets' head-coaching job before changing his mind and remaining with the Warriors. Atkinson spent nine seasons as an NBA assistant -- four with the New York Knicks, three with the Atlanta Hawks before returning to the assistant coaching ranks with the Clippers and Warriors. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40420401/sources-cleveland-cavaliers-hiring-kenny-atkinson-coach
  7. Dude just clotheslined him lol...
  8. So much pressure, I love these kind of games.
  9. Didn't realize it was a 1:10 start time today, but I see things are going well so far. Might be the first 3 game series of the year where they scored 4+ runs in every game.
  10. Need to do a "Blanco Queso" special with Ninfas or El Tiempo.
  11. So what's our record now since Abreu got yeeted?
  12. Anyone have 4 tickets to sell for the 8/16 Friday night game against the White Sox? Looking for seats in the lower level. DM me if you do.
  13. No sweep for Baltimore!
  14. Did he pat Singleton on the butt while running by?
  15. Jake from Rake Farm!
  16. I support the Louisiana law, so long as it as a few footnotes on the posters...
  17. Full MLE this year is around 4 years and 56m this year, which is a bit less than that expectation. I think Caruso is valued by GMs more than an MLE type player. 20m a year for a 4th/5th starter on a team with championship aspirations is fair, that's like Bruce Brown/Aaron Gordon/Josh Hart type money. What I wouldn't want to do is see 1 year of Giddey on my team, and then trying to determine if I want to commit to 4 years and 120+ million for him, only to become a play-in East team at best. For me to do that as a GM, you gotta pay some picks. I think that's where Chicago dropped the ball here, because at the trade deadline this year, Caruso is going to fetch a much better return than Giddey.
  18. My issue is the value here, I think the Bulls could have gotten more from a contender for Caruso. OKC also has a million picks to trade, I don't know how anyone works with them and doesn't get at least a 2nd out of it. Chicago is the one doing a favor here, but they should be in re-build mode, which means then need future picks. Caruso is a cheap 3+D guy who plays defense very well, literally any team could add him to the roster and become better. He's exactly the kind of guy you send out at the trade deadline for some potentially great future picks. I don't hate Giddey, but he's very young and only has 1 year left on his deal before he becomes an expensive RFA. The stink of sleeping with a 16 year old seems to have worn off, but I still think it dings his value. He was pretty awful in the playoffs this year. I don't think he's going to show enough next year to be worth 25-30m a year, or whatever he's eligible to get. If I'm the Bulls, I don't know if I want to commit to that at this point, when the team should be tanking for a top pick next year. The Bulls only owe their 2025 pick to the Spurs, but it's protected top 10. I think they should sell everything for future assets, and go all-in for Flagg, Harper or Bailey.
  19. So what's the over/under on Bloss' ERA tonight? 12? 135? The Orioles just annihilated Luis Gil last night and knocked him out of the game in the 2nd. The Orioles are 1st in runs scored this season, and also 1st in runs allowed. Gonna be a tough series to win. Tomorrow night looks very interesting, Blanco vs Burnes. Should be a great pitching duel.
