Best Replacements For Mike D’Antoni

By Greg Esposito on May 9th, 2008

While Steve Nash expects Mike D’Antoni to return as the coach of the Suns next season most people realize he is all but out the door to either Chicago or New York. With that in mind we decided it was time to compile a list of possible candidates for the Suns head coaching job. Some […]

NBA to review “Hack-a-Shaq”??

By Vince Marotta on May 9th, 2008

I like American League baseball, because I hate watching pitchers hit. I know, I know, call me a communist because I enjoy the DH rule. Actually more accurately, I can’t stand watching pitchers attempt to handle the bat. You know what I’m talking about, when your NL team has 2 outs and […]

By Vince Marotta on May 9th, 2008

I Need a Vacation…From the Suns Problems

By Black Jesus Disciples on May 9th, 2008

I have a rather active imagination and with all that’s going on with the Suns right now it’s running wild. Try not to hurt yourself after thinking about this:-Coach D signs with New York-Nash, unhappy that his coach was driven out of town, demands a trade to his new team-Kerr, flipping the moron/genius coin […]

Congratulations, Doug Davis…

By ByrnesBlogger1 on May 9th, 2008

on testing cancer free. I hope it stays that way.
You are also staying strong despite potentially energy sapping radiation therapy. Also very good.
You have a rehab game in the minors Saturday. Good luck!
Looking forward to seeing you back in the majors real soon!

BRANDON WEBB!

By ByrnesBlogger1 on May 9th, 2008

I heard some sports talking head this morning talking about Josh Beckett being the best pitcher in the majors at 4-2. Fiddlesticks! Brandon Webb is 8-0!
He pitched a complete game yesterday, saving the bullpen. Of course, it helped that he was staked to a chalupa-sized 8 runs, thanks in part to Chris Young’s 2-run homer, […]

Amare and Nash were voted to the all-NBA’s second team today.Sounds about right, I suppose. It’s hard to argue with the guys selected ahead of them, that’s for sure.It will be interesting to see where Amare ends up next year on this list. He can keep the status quo and be a shoo-in […]
