Suck It, Randy Newman

I give you the 2008 American League MVP. He's the one in his dad's arms.

    "Pedroia became the first AL second baseman to win the award since Nellie Fox in 1959."

    i'm actually more than a little surprised. as much as i love that tiny bastard, i would have voted for joe mauer. never underestimate the sportswriter's love for small, scrappy white dudes.

    I heard Youk was so happy for little Dusty that he told him he'd put on his leather chaps and gag ball and let Dusty have his way with him. Again.

    Random gasoline note:

    Gas futures contracts continue to crater. They're pointing to gas at about $1.80 per gallon in the next 1-2 months.

    Start shopping for your H3...

    I didn't know there was a W&M Student Assembly, let alone that there was a President of it. And that said President was a star.

    I saw Pedroia drinking a Zima with a Jolly Rancher in it at Daisy Buchanan's. True story.

    I know people really hate Vitale, but I do love having him back every November. Now, ask me again during a Duke/Carolina game in January and I might be cleaning my gun with silver Vitale bullets, but for now, good to have you back baybee.

    man, this is embarrassing. the wild pass off the backboard into an alley oop for the other team is not a testament to team discipline.

    Knicks are closing the gap on the Celts. They can't play D and they had a 2nd quarter group on the floor consisting of three point guards and two power forwards, yet they are down by 6 with 5:41 left.

    Yes, Rob you did see that correctly. He's the only real big man who Nellie trusts.

    steph curry needs to get a lot better on defense.

  39. TR10:03 PM, November 18, 2008

    Chandler is turning into a bit of a beast. I think he ended up with 23. He's starting at the 4 position for NY, so he'll do okay with rebounding numbers as well. He's a very polished offensive player. With his minutes and the tempo of the team, I could see him at 16-18 ppg this year.

  40. Mark10:06 PM, November 18, 2008

    He's a great fit for D'Antoni's system. He can play both forward spots and maybe even a little 2 if they go big. He's a nice combo of skills, motor and athleticism.

    ReplyDelete
  41. TR10:07 PM, November 18, 2008

    After tonight's 23/7 performance, Chandler is averaging 14.6 ppg and 5.5 rpg. Both should go up significantly from there.

    And Chris Duhon is much harder to hate when he plays on your team. The guy makes the right decisions almost all the time. His assist-to-turnover ratio is fantastic, he gives 100% every second he's on the court and he can run all night. Hard to hate that. Unless you're Stephon Marbury...

  42. TR10:10 PM, November 18, 2008

    Mark makes good points about Chandler. I have to admit I knew nothing about the guy when he was drafted last year.

    Chandler's ridiculous ink medley meshes well with those of Curry, Marbury, Richardson and Robinson.
    A little more chemistry for that squad. They have to be the worst inked team in the league. There's a big difference between quality and quantity.

    Did any of you see Obama on 60 Mins this week? He sounds serious about throwing his weight around to get rid of the BCS. Maybe he can use his bully-pulpit to get rid of the WNBA too.

    He's going to bring a salary cap to baseball, too.

    Herbert Hoover was "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage." Bill Clinton was "A chick and some pot in a garage." We'll see what Mr. Obama's take on that is. For starters, he's president #44 -- in Washington, this is a revered number.
