And WTF is Latroy Hawkins throwing at Adam Jones head?!?!?!?!?

Jeter got plunked earlier in the game on an up & in pitch by Cabrera & had to be taken for X-Rays... it wasn't a pitch at his head but if you missed it Hank made it clear at the beginning of the season the Yankees wouldn't stand for their star players getting plunked anymore whether it's intentional or not... i don't agree w/throwing at a guy's head tho... that's uncalled for.

I heard Jeter got plunked but you can't be throwing at someones head in retaliation. I'm surprised this didn't turn into a huge brawl. O's must be bigger pussies than Willie Randolph. God damn does he suck.

the benches did clear & the bullpen guys ran in from both sides, but nothing happened... i almost wish a brawl had broken out... anything to wake up this comatose team at this point.

Bulls get a top 3 pick..

there you go, all you you ignorant folks wanting to tank... read my motto!!!


Huh?!?!?!? The 6th pick is much better than 15th pick, right? And if we tanked all the way, we would have had a top 3 pick like Miami got.

Anyway, if we didn't get the top pick, 6th isn't such a bad spot. Hopefully this takes us out of the running for "combo guard" Bayless. Now we can focus on someone like Randolph. No sense in wasting our lottery pick on someone who isn't a true point. yay.


no, had we tanked all the way we could have gotten the 5th pick like memphis..... miami didn't tank, they just stunk!!!!!!

So what, the 5th pick is still better than the 15th pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're either building for a championship or you ain't nothing. The ceiling for Isiah's dreck was no better than 40 wins and we're not winning no championship with Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry so in my book, the 6th pick is HEAVEN compared to the same old same old mid to late round pick which gets us NOWHERE.


And WTF is Latroy Hawkins throwing at Adam Jones head?!?!?!?!?


Hawkins is an idiot and the yankees and mets suck donkey nuts... Don't talk baseball to me until the yankees start winning.. LOL..

anyway, pick 5 and pick 15 this year will basically yield you the same bum player this year in most cases...

Well I always thought this draft was a huge drop off from Derrick Rose. I'm not even a big fan of Beasely. But thats why you have scouts and you know there will be more than one player in this draft who will get picked from 6 on that will be a major contributor on someones team. Lets hope it's us. F!uck you Isiah Thomas.

God damn the Mets suck.

Yeah I saw that. Yankees and Mets must be sharing the same hospital bed. Both our teams have these old f!ucking geezers that need to just get lost. I almost wish the Yankees swept the Mets this weekend so Willie would have been shown the door. I use to like him but that was inexcusable that he didn't get tossed out of the game on Degado's "HR."

This is why I cant get too wrapped up in basing the long term health of a franchise into this randomness...

Hope this puts all the 'fix is in for NY' talk that all the East Coast bashers love to conjure up. Actually, the '97 Knicks/Heat disgrace should have already accomplished that.

This just sucks. Well, lets get ready for Melo or whomever, because the 6th pick aint' SHYT. And it damn sure doesnt compensate for this abortion of a season!!!!!!


If I was Denver there is no way in hll that I would trade Carmelo Anythony for pick 6 and whatever other pile of crp the Knicks can throw there way. The Knicks really blew their chances to rebuild the team by fliudering their lottery picks of the last 7 years on Curry Marbury and indirectly Zach Randolph. We couldve made a team. Unless Denver is that gullible and stupid[and I doubt it] we dont have nearly enough goods to trade for a player of Carmelo's talent.

Yeah, you're probably right.

I'm sorry, but I dont give a rats *** about a number 6 pick, considering the hole we're in.

I am beginning to think following an NBA team that does not have a superstar is utterly foolish and might as well be like PLAYING THE LOTTERY.

Seriously, that's what it has become about when there are few real stars available in the draft, and even then you dunno what could happen...

The Bulls got a raw deal with Jay Williams

Can't miss-ers like Oden? Wait and see.

I'm trying to have "perspective" but, honestly, this one hurts, even if "the odds" were against us. THE ODDS WERE AGAINST EVERYONE, and why the lotto is possibly less fair than other systems. How about a better system? With all of the brain power that exists we can't figure out something else? How about if you win the lotto you have some other limitations based on other factors? Maybe a combo of games lost, won, conference record, out of conference record, etc. Something less arbitrary that gives a team that is basically good like the Bulls an IMPOSSIBLE time of winning, but also makes sure that teams that tank can't win. If that system is what is in place it certainly hasn't been working very wel.

San Antonio got VERY luck with Duncan, and now the Bulls who were a top East team had a bad year and now get the #1 pick? Miami tanks and gets #2 after winning a title and having a superstar?

Justice is total mythology.

KARMA?

WHat did the Bulls do that exactly deserved them to get KARMA versus Knick fans who have been languishing as the joke of the NBA for almost a decade, and even when we had a good team were constantly hated on for multiple reasons, and they won 6 titles with Jordan to our ZERO?

We ain't the owners of the team, and we don't even have democratic control of who is in charge. We have to HOPE that they do the right thing.

What a joke it is to root for a NBA team.

Was at the pathetic Yankee game and called a friend to have them let me know what was up with the lotto. Great news...who-hooo...

btw, the I am also realizing how out-of-date baseball is, and extraordinarily WHITE, SUBURBAN, BORING, B.S. the YANKEES are...no wonder it's in trouble, and so are the Yanks, IMHO, if not for Dominicans and Japanese. Young Americans are not feeling baseball, and being at the game again tonight reminded me why, as a LONG TIME HARDCORE YANKEE FAN. Sorry if that offends folks, but if I have to hear GOD BLESS AMERICA AND YMCA AGAIN AT A YANKEE GAME I'M GONNA GO POSTAL.

I will go to one last game on my B-Day but after that I think I'm done with baseball. The crowd is just not representative of NYC (although NYC is becoming increasingly homogenized, Las-Vegasified, or in other words more representative of an episode of Friends and Sex and The City than Taxi, Good Times, or Taxi Driver...and why I am most likely outta here by the end of the year), and it's just awful. Sure losing hurts, but I don't even care if the Yanks win now, so much, and maybe hearing the news that we know had something like a 45% chance of happening shouldn't surprise me, but a team with a 1.7% chance of winning and a team that has the ability to win shouldn't either?

Bulls and Miami are now slated for top tier status.

Yeah, justice in the NBA sure exists.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

well, on the bright side this is likely the final year for Giambi, Moose, Pettitte, Farnsworth, Hawkins & Abreu... when do Delgado, Alou, Duque, Wagner, Easley, Anderson, Pedro & Schoenweiss expire?

Delgado and Alou expire after this season. (Thank God) I like Alou, but you know he'll go down again with bruised nuts. Duque? Is he even on the Mets? Wagner (2 years left) has actually been lights out this season and the best pitcher on the Mets. (shocking!) Anderson and Easley are bench guys who I don't really have a problem with. I HATE Luis Castillo and want him gone ASAP. Horrible signing 4 years for that gimp. I want Orlando Hudson (FA) next season. Just pay some team to take gimpy. Pedro expires after this season. I'd resign him he comes back healthy for the rest of this season but only to an incentive laden contract. Schoenweiss has pitched ok this season and hasn't been a problem. Heilman sucks get rid of him. And get rid of Willie. Ollie Perez needs to go too. He'll want too much money. (Borass is his agent)

You guys need to get Damons lame ass out of the outfield ASAP. He can't throw!

Oh and I hate Beltran now too. But I'd keep him because there are no other options for CF and nobody is taking his contract.
