No KG...Suns Still Strong!

Well, there was a lot of rumors out there but at the end of the day nobody's going anywhere. The Suns were just one game from beating the Spurs and probably winning the championship. Amare will continue to get stronger, Nash will have another MVP -like season, Barbosa is still improving, Raja is a stud, and maybe Boris can show up this year. Just a few solid bench players and I like our chances. Also, I was thinking how it is unnecessary for the Suns to burn themselves up to win 60 games. D'Antoni should limit their regular season minutes, especially if he is going to play them so many minutes in the playoffs. What do you think?

KG in Amare out?

I guess we'll see real soon who is going to suit up for the Suns next year. If Steve Nash were a few years younger I think you keep Amare and continue trying. But because Nash only has a couple more years to win it all and KG give you that now. I hate to see Amare go, but for a ring I would. I think KG puts the Suns over the top. What do you think? Would you rather have KG or Amare?

Too Much Time On My Hands?

So I love those Western Whopper Burger King Commercials! Go to petmoustache.com and you can grow your own moustache. You can trim, comb, shave and even wax your stache! The best part is sending a singing telegram with your new lip wig! It's hilarious!

KG in? The Matrix out?

Here's the latest..

Steve Kerr has been talking with the Minnesota Timberwolves and admits that it would be really difficult to get KG. His salary for next year is $21 million dollars, the highest in the NBA. Shawn Marion is owed just over $16 million. Do you throw in Boris Diaw? Would Minnesota or anyone for that matter want him after his performance this year? Phoenix needs guards and I don't see Barbosa going anywhere. Is Amare untouchable? The Suns say so. There are so many different possiblitites. I think you only move Marion if you get KG, not Al Jefferson and draft picks. Remember game 5 with the Spurs? We aren't that far away from handing it to the Spurs. What do you think the Suns will do? I know I would love to see KG, Nash, Amare, Raja, and Kurt in the starting line-up next year!

Should We Get Excited about Sammy's 600?

Check out these homerun numbers.

Player Avg. Homeruns/Season

Sammy Sosa
1993-1996
and 2004-2005 ~29
1996-2003 ~51


Notes:
1997 36 Hr
1998 66 Hr
That's quite the increase! Sammy added over 35 pounds later in his career also.

Barry Bonds
1990-1999 ~36
2000-2003 ~52

Notes:
49 in 2000
73 in 2001
Barry added over 40 pounds of muscle after the age of 35?
Both his head size and shoe size increased during this time as well?

Mark McGwire
1987-1994* ~36
1995-2000 ~53
*1994 played 47 games

It's interesting to see these stats. More interesting is that major league baseball has nothing..no proof of anything...nobody has failed a steroid test? Come on!

Consider that there are only 20 players to hit 500 or more. 3 are still active and 5 will do it in 2007 alone! What do you think about that?

Good News!!

Father's Day

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you dads out there (especially mine) for all that you do. There are so many "appreciation" days out there. Mothers, teachers, bosses, secretaries, etc. Let's not show our appreciation only on that designated day, but much more often. Happy Father's Day!

The NBA and the Most Ugly Dynasty?

So the ugliest playoff series has now come to an end. I'm so glad that I don't have to hear Bruce "The Grabber" Bowen or Manu "Flop-o-saurus Rex" Ginobili's name anymore. I don't understand why in the world there is so much wasted effort to categorize the Spurs as a dynasty? Who cares? The Spurs were as exciting to watch as the Anaheim Ducks... no wait more like the L.A. Sparks (WNBA). I guess I'm glad San Antonio swept, that way we don't have to watch anymore of that ugly basketball. Now we can wait and see the big off-season moves. Agree...Disagree?
