I mean I agree but that is exaggerating the situation a bit. It allows them the flexibility to move pieces around. He is a proven center fielder and a proven shortstop. Yes there have been hiccups in road with his outfield work (at shortstop). No, he is not going to be Ben Zobrist and the 5/70mill contract is probably…

16 Years! There are teen drivers that have only ever lived with an incompetent hockey club. Thats a long time!

I’m in the camp of fans that does not see 1st base as a permanent position for Desmond. Last year the Rox were within a few games of the wild card until Story was injured. Yeah that also coincided with when the bullpen imploded but still the lack of depth to cover Story’s production was a major reason for signing…

I hear ya. The emergence of Story last year softened the blow. Though I’m not sure the stench of Reyes has left yet.

I have an undying love for going to Rockies games. You experience the highs and lows at a disproportionate rate. 6 run leads become 3 run deficits in the time frame of a bathroom break. Those games often turn into 5 run victories.

Are you one of the guys that is still disappointed they traded Tulo?

The fans. Puff piece for the fans. 

Yeah I’m going to disagree on your point that if Steph left in the same manor that Durant left that the fans in Oakland would show unconditional love and support.

I think its a matter of what you consider to be ‘unexpected’. For me I’d rather pay the high deductable that will cover something unexpectedly catastrophic

Tom who is your least favorite sports writer?

Thanks for not writing another one of these articles, I think your kids are going to make it. You seem to understand how this thing works.

Not salty nor am I from the south but the guy is no war hero

Good one

We need more war criminals?

You mean minus all the rings?

gtfoh and don’t compare the ‘00s Nuggets to the ‘10s Knicks. The Denver Nuggets went to the playoffs every single season with Melo. This was obviously largely due to a youthful Melo but his ‘shitty spare parts’ were actually pretty good! The 2009 interation were 2 shitty in bounds passes away from making it to the…

This doesn’t have to do with Charles Oakley but as a spiteful Nuggets fan, I’ve been so happy over the years watching the annual implosion of the Knicks and Carmelo Anthony. Melo has gotten all that he deserved and so much more.

I’m not necessarily buying (yet) that he is going to be the best of the bunch but I do think the Nuggets have a unique opportunity for Nicola to be a franchise cornerstone that they build a roster around. Those types of players don’t come around often. I’m excited/nervous to see how the front office handles the…

Lol show me a Plumlee that can do what Nikola can do on a night to night basis

I can support freelancing that occurs because the idiot keeper isn’t paying attention.
