Few quick things...

The twitter is going full steam ahead...but coming here for a few thoughts...
  • How is it possible to get a win for a team you don't even pitch for? Ask Joel Hanrahan...he was in line for the win for the Nationals in a rain-suspended game before being traded earlier in the year....well, the Nats won last night...and he got the win...while 1500 miles away...I'd say that's rare
  • Donte Stallworth being released already is a travesty before God and man...
  • Memo to ESPN: I know Lance Armstrong used to matter to cycling and carry your Tour de France coverage...that was before all the steroid allegations and his 3 year absence...he doesn't help you now...in fact, nothing does...cycling is totally dead
  • Shawn Marion to Dallas creates an absolute logjam for them....Josh Howard (who played center in college btw) will in theory be pushed to the 2 (at 6'8) with Marion and Dirk at the forward spots...that's all fine and good until you consider they will effectively be burying JJ Barea (who was a top 6-7 guy for them last year) and they inevitably either must play Dirk at the 5 or slash Jason Terry's (or maybe Howard's) minutes significantly...just doesn't add up to me right now....
  • The proposed Carlos Boozer to Chicago deal is good for all parties IMO....the only way this ends badly for someone is if Utah can't resign Millsap (and they still lose Boozer) b/c Ty Thomas isn't a scorer and couldn't possibly replicate their production....for Chicago? They finally get the post scorer they've coveted for 1/2 a decade in Boozer and Thomas' athleticism can be replaced by either of their top picks...I love it for Portland (pending actually seeing who they would be dealing) b/c Hinrich is a legit starting PG that they haven't had that will take pressure of Brandon Roy and immediately improve them....
That'll do it..
