The Rematch is on today. Stuck at work, would love to see Manny get redemption. Should be a nasty fight

Update. Just saw the results online, I knew PAC man would get it back. He won the first fight IMO and many boxing fans as well. Looks like it's time for THE BIG FIGHT to actually happen. I mean if your going to get 40 mil for one fight, why not?

"The sight of Verlander (1-1) on the mound at Petco Park was another reminder of how the Padres flubbed the top pick in the June 2004 amateur draft. Not wanting to pay a big signing bonus, the team passed on players such as Jered Weaver, Stephen Drew and Verlander in favor of local shortstop Matt Bush.

Bush, who signed for $3 million, never reached the big leagues and had numerous off-field problems. In December 2012, he was sentenced to four years and three months in a Florida prison for a drunken driving hit-and-run crash.

Verlander was taken by the Tigers with the second pick. He has thrown two no-hitters and came within two outs of a third, won the AL MVP and Cy Young Award in 2011, was voted AL Rookie of the Year in 2006 and is a six-time All-Star."



wow

Manny pacquio and Floyd mayweather fight has officially been scheduled.

They fight the same day, coincidentally, as the new Tool album and Dr Dre's Detox album drops

Talking about shit like this is kinda dumb though. I mean, Mike Trout was picked like 22nd. That's a fair amount of teams that passed over him, for whatever reason. MLB draft is a monster crapshoot.

I really don't want to talk about it, actually.

I just post for informative purposes.

If we stay out of the box we have a good chance to use our speed against them.

The Warriors are lucky to have locked in a playoff spot. No chance of advancing against the Clips without Bogut who we just lost to broken rib(s). Among other key injuries. Fuck.

Will it be Pacers / Spurs?

[Ravenpig]

Nah. Rematch from last year (which I think the Spurs would win) or OKC/Miami (which I think Miami would win).

Honestly I think the real West favorite is OKC. They're a terrible match up for the Spurs but you can't ever count out the Spurs til they're actually out.

[ilikecheese]

I hope they don't call traveling.
They always call traveling...

NorCal vs SoCal
Warriors vs Clippers (playoffs)
Sharks vs Kings (playoffs)
A's vs Angels
Giants vs Dodgers

If the Angels and Dodgers could find a way to spend another $200-$300 million on salary, I'm sure they could eventually beat the A's and Giants ok ok, the Angels finally pulled out a V last night in extras.

Warriors might be without Bogut but they can still beat the Clip joint.
I want the Pacers to beat Miami, but even with home court advantage, they don't look like they can do it at the moment.
If OKC guard Kevin Westbrook increased his assists to shooting ratio, that team could win it! Shoot less, pass more, get your teammates involved.

Detroit vs Boston in 1st round of hockey playoffs is intriguing.
I kinda miss Detroit not being in the Western Conference, but I like watching the Eastern conference deal with that franchise

[markuspoop]

Wiz are winning the East.

Yankees destroy (Solarte, all day), Rangers dominate (1 shot on goal allowed in the 3rd period). all in all a great night for New York sports.

[markuspoop]

What about the Mets and Knicks?

[ilikecheese]

Some of you may not believe this but...
I just now found out the nba has a new commisioner?

David Stern retired in February. That's the gist of it.

[ilikecheese]

gist should be a dirty word...shouldn't it?

[Ravenpig]

You're a gist

[ilikecheese]

Which will lead to such stupid sentences as,
"Dude. I gist all over her asst."
