LOL so now the criteria is what you've done in just one game.

I guess Booker should get his jersey retired in Phoenix for having a 70-point game then.

It's an individual accomplishment. Don't tell me they don't matter now...

So Booker should get his jersey retired in Phoenix. A lot of "good" players can flash for one game (not saying 81 points). But "elite" players do it consistently over an extended period of time. You mentioning that Kobe scored 81 points over that time period in which Durant didn't do that basically makes my point. Plus again, Durant has more scoring titles while with the Thunder; which would mean more than just one single game. You could just admit you're wrong and move on now.

In other news, San Francisco Giants backup third baseman Pablo Sandoval rips Russell Westbrook for being a ball hog. "Russ needs to get his teammates involved more" Sandoval declared, in Spanish.

Oscar winning actress Anne Hathaway added "Westbrook is great but he will never win a title until he changes his approach"

Then British Prime Minister Theresa May added "Ball don't lie!"

Triple double leader suggest that Russ is in fact getting his team involved.

Shaq got his jersey retired in Miami and he left on worst terms than Durant. Lebron left on bad terms, but he'll get his jersey retired at some point - and yes, that's fully aware that both players won title(s) in Miami.

Wait.

Miami will retire Lee Brown's jersey? That's gay.

dude broke it down and was completely true.

@msgkings322 I see where you accepted the bet on the bookie. I have no clue how you get it to pay out to be honest.

@msgkings322 - it's been a long time since I've done one of those bets, but I seem to remember both parties needing to go in and accept the outcome, or some such shit.

Man you OKC fans are the most humorless sensitive cupcakes around. No wonder you loved KD once.

This is why I don't bet LOL. I actually don't care that much I was busting your balls. But I'll try to "accept" it

Actually Pablo has been terrific for us, check the stats. He's like a super utility guy who can hit. And now Longoria is out for a while, and it's not a big deal thanks to him.

I recently acquired Buster Posey on my fantasy team and I feel gay.

Is Pablo still having problems running the bases?

The Tribe has their own short chubby looking third basemen but he is AMAZING and signed up forever at a very team friendly contract.

Jose makes;

2018: 2.4M
2019: 3.75M
2020: 6.25M
2021: 9.0M
2022: 11.0M team option
2023: 13.0M team option

total: $45.4M for this year and 5 additional years. One of the best bargains in baseball.

Indians have some important free agents this offseason- Brantley, Miller and Allen, but still have a ton of talent under contract.

the aforementioned Jose Ramirez 5 more years for a total of like 50M or less
Kluber 3 more seasons after this one for a total of 47M
Bauer has 2 more years after this one arbitration eligible before he is a free agent
Clevinger has 4 more years of team control after this one before he is a UFA
Lindor has 3 more years of team control after this year before he is a UFA (hopefully tehy can buy out a year or two of free agency and keep him another 5 years).
Carrasco has 2 more years after this one at 9M a year
Yan Gomes has 1 more year at 7M and then 2 team options at 9 and 11 after that

plus they have some good young starting pitching prospects like Plutko, Bieber, McKenzie. They have Mejia who is a great hitting prospect.

EE is signed up for 20M next year and then is a FA.

there only really "bad" contract is Kipnis who makes 14.5M next year.

If I was gonna go that way, Buster would probably be in my top 5

Hahaha!

Recently a friend texted me;

Friend: Have you tried this stuff?

Slink: Peach flavored sparkling soda? Have you told your family that you're gay?

Friend: If dick tasted like Peach Fresca, I WOULD be gay.
