Boston's Lineup Ellsbury Pedroia Martinez Youkilis Ortiz Beltre Drew Cameron Scutaro

April 5 April 6 I wonder why Baltimore and Tampa Bay are opening up on their own day after everyone else.

Rob Parker (ESPN New York) Thoughts?

Nick Johnson, Damaso Marte, Jorge Posada, and Alfredo Aceves all seem good to go after their injuries. Jeter Johnson Teixeira Rodriguez Cano Posada Granderson Swisher Gardner I was happy to hear that this game will be broadcasted locally as well. After the BoSox '04 championship, they opened 2005 up at Yankee Stadium and lost. After the Yankees '09 championship, they opened up 2010 at Fenway and ____?

Yes and yes. Sometimes, I read a topic in the announcements, and then when I go back to the main index, the basketball is still orange. I go back to the announcements, and the topic appears as unread.

I started having this problem when the new update came. I set an option in the settings to watch topics I post in, but whenever a reply is made to a topic, nothing shows up in the tab. http://i41.tinypic.com/k53j8h.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2wlwl77.jpg

Sure, I'll take steroids for three years, but nine years down the road, I'll be just as amazing without them. And all the haters will be living in the past because they'll have nothing to say about the present.

For a good part of the season, Williams was coming on the court and not doing much. We hardly saw him trying to attack the basket. At the same time, he was making strange statements on Twitter about what it would have been like if he was selected by a team like Charlotte instead. At that point, the fanbase was pretty disappointed in him.

You're like the critics and I'm like Alex Rodriguez. I just keep on rolling. 10 11 uploads for last night's games! I'm aiming for 1000 uploads by the end of the regular season.:yess:

Devin Harris and Courtney Lee got off to slow starts in the season, but they eventually found their way and have been consistent. Terrence Williams started off on a rocky road as well, and fans were beginning to question Jersey's choice of picking him over Tyler Hansbrough. It took him a little longer, but he suddenly took a step forward starting with the first game in March, and the Nets play began improving around the same time. 15 games Minutes: 29.8 FGM-A: 5.2/12.1 (43%) 3PM-A: 0.7/1.8 (37%) FTM-A: 3.0/4.2 (71%) Rebounds: 6.7 Assists: 4.9 Turnovers: 2.1 Points: 14.1

Reportedly, the Nets may make an offer to Lee early in the FA period, before the Knicks want to start negotiating with him so either the Knicks lose him or they lose some of their cap space to bring him back.

15-2 run by Dallas in the final 4:30 of regulation, and we're headed to OT.

The Suns basically used the same penetration play we were using the first half against us in the second half. There were two rough stretches in the third quarter for us. We allowed a 13-0 start to open up the quarter, and when we were closing in on the lead, we lost control again with a few sloppy plays. Our offensive efforts in keeping up were great, but Phoenix kept finding open looks around our defense. Harris didn't have a great game, but T-Will was outstanding in the PG role. There were a couple other solid performances as well. The "Izod Center Flashback" today was the unbelievable 2OT 161-157 loss to Phoenix a few seasons back. Even though it was a loss, it was one of my all-time favorite games. The Kidd-Nash battle was unforgettable.

I see. Well Chan Ho had an important role in Philly, so I just hope he fits in well in our setup and is effective. Robertson was amazing last year, and he didn't have enough appearances to draw much attention, so he could be big for us this year. Marte has a lot up his sleeve, and I'm interested in seeing what Logan brings to the table as well.

Link Pitino, Kryzewski, Wright, and Izzo have all used similar responses.

I still think Hughes has to prove that he can handle a starting role. But yes, over time, I'd like to see both Hughes and Joba in a rotation. The exception to that would be if they are apart of the plans to cover for when Rivera retires. As for your setup of the bullpen, I think that Aceves is easily the best for long relief. He's capable of cruising through two or three innings of out of the 'pen. Robertson has potential to be an eighth inning reliever, but Girardi and Eiland probably want to see him get comfortable in a seventh inning role first. Marte pitched extremely well in the 2009 postseason. Still, the Yankees should just make sure that he's consistent enough over an extended period of time for the lead lefty role, because there's also Logan and Ring. Joba and Park are the two guys I see the Yankees using in the eighth inning to start the season.
