Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

WBC Open Thread for 03/15/09

Yesterday was my 27th birthday, and I celebrated it by watching boxing and having a cold. I still have the cold.

Now I'm watching Japan v. Cuba. Bunch of games today, plus the NCAA tournament selection show. Talk about whatever! C'MON WOLVERINES! HIT US WITH A 10 SEED!

Show their jubuliant reaction

at being named to the tournament. Congrats. My Terps squeaked in, too.

I'm looking forward

to seeing my Clemson Tigers get an early lead and choke against Michigan. They do it in football and now basketball. Sigh.

Gary Thorne just announced

that Fukudome was Rookie of the Year. At least he got the team right.

If they meant to exactly split the difference

between College Park and Berkeley, Kansas City was a good choice as the pod site. I can’t wait to see us lose to Memphis.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

You're assuming we get past Cal

I’m not ready to even go that far.

I hope

I watched MD lose to VA and they did lose to Morgan State this year. No team is truly incapable of beating Maryland.

Sadly true

On the other hand, Maryland is capable of beating every team. They show that every year even as they lose so many stupid games.

That's the kicker

They could lose to #65 and beat #1.

And other baseball fans will know why

Bottom of the fifth, up 6-0,

let’s just end this thing.

They're doing their best

This Anthony Edwards look-alike pitching for the Dutch sure is trying to give it away.

going for the cycle!

Roberts at the plate…pitching change!

by BaltimoreSportsReport on Mar 15, 2009 9:33 PM EDT reply actions  

lame

The unintentional intentional walk…it’s only the 5th though, he’ll have another at bat.

by BaltimoreSportsReport on Mar 15, 2009 9:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Just tuning in

Roberts going for the cycle?

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

They don't want any part of a brawl

I’d love to see B-Rob take out some frustrations on Sir Sidney on behalf of the Baltimore Orioles.

That was a BS throw behind

Who does Lindstrom think he is, LaTroy Hawkins?

Younger writers, more attuned to the use of the Internet than their older colleagues, may not have a problem with the disappearance of the books. But in past years they didn’t have the Internet as an alternative reference site. They apparently just didn’t feel the need for any information the books provided.

B-Rob

Gettin the post-game interview!

by Skar on Mar 15, 2009 10:59 PM EDT reply actions  

I would say that BRob

was a more than adequate fill-in for PHN Dustin. We all know that he is better than Ped, and with his new contract, he will hit .320, with 50+ doubles, 40+ stolen bases :-)
