    ASU Baseball 2019

    Well, there some positive and negative. The bad news: they have series against all the three heavy-hitters (for now) in the Pac; UCLA, Oregon St. and Stanford. The good news: they get 'em all at Phoenix Muni. They're up in the upper 20s in a few of the polls. But there are so many polls...

    Arizona Coyotes 2018-19 Season thread.

    You don't just "pass" Tkachuk. You skate by him, give him an elbow to his face (pre face shield) and hope he doesn't spear you later in the game. My goal in watching NBCSN's hockey pre-game show is watching Roenick and Mike Milbury get into it, with Kathryn Tappan just standing by laughing...

    Father time vs LeBron

    The epitaph of LABron James, as read by Bryan Cranston: Yes, of course I'm having fun with this. He makes more cashish in one game than I make in, I dunno, a whole year. But because it's the Lakers... :D (FWIW, the poem is Ozymandias by Percy Shelley).

    Arizona Coyotes 2018-19 Season thread.

    Jason's dad Darrell Demers is related to legendary NHL coach Jacques Demers (maybe a nephew). I think he was one of the few guys to win the Jack Adams Award twice in a row. Jacques coached the Habs to the Cup in 1992, which featured some tall guy named Paddy Roy. Wonder how he turned oot...

    Woj: Suns in a state of disrepair.

    He's walked away from businesses before. In fact, it's his style. Sarver's style of owning banks is the typical path a greedy douche canoe community banker takes. 1. Start a small community bank, staff it with yes-men, poach customers from other banks, relax credit standards, and watch the...

    Lakers @ Suns 3-2-19

    Oops, I mixed up Mason & Ireland. I had to live in L.A. for a month once and would either listen to their show. It was far better than the Loose Cannons on KLAC with Hartmann, Bahama Mikey, and Vic the Brick.

    Lakers @ Suns 3-2-19

    Right...all those oh-so-suck-cessful years in Cleveland, followed by him fleeing to find some better players. Now he takes more plays off than otherwise. On the radio pre-game, Tim Ring interviewed John Mason, who is a part of the Laker's broadcast team from whatever station there. Tim asked...

    Woj: Suns in a state of disrepair.

    The written story was at the masthead of espn.com for most of the day. If you recall the old-skool terror warning color coded system, the goat story, and this story in general, rates as: (credit: Jon Stewart) But it probably doesn't rise to the level of criminality. I guess if a goat drops...

    ASU Hockey 2018-19

    Well, ASU didn't kill any Gophers this weekend. Carl Spackler couldn't either. ASU got swept by Minnesota in an odd mix of offensive lethargy and poor netminding. But don't despair, ASU remains at #8 in the PairWise rankings, thanks to some losses by teams ahead of them. ASU will now...

    Arizona Coyotes 2018-19 Season thread.

    I expect the Yotes to beat Detroit. Mr. Hockey ain't walking back through that door. Neither is Stevie Y or Gump Worsley. And didn't "Hockeytown" once have the entire "KLM Line" from the Commie Red Army team that we beyotch-slapped in the Olympics on their payroll? Anyhow, the Yotes got some...

    Lakers @ Suns 3-2-19

    I think there is some retired NBA GM nicknamed "Zeke" who would challenge you. :D Look, it was a feel-good win. Y'all can poop your britches over stats and specific moments, but the fact remains that, in the midst of a horrible season, the Suns managed a win over a hated rival. Just enjoy it...

    ASU Baseball 2019

    Torkelson dialed 9 for a 3-run walkoff HR against MSU for a winner tonight in 11, 8-5. I didn't get out a calculator and refigure the run differential, but it's gotta be pushing +73 or +75.

    Lakers @ Suns 3-2-19

    Punk move by L.A.Bron to walk off the court without shaking any of the Suns' hands. Sheer punk move. And people wonder why the Lakers have a "team chemistry" problem. :nono:

    Phoenix Suns have begun search for new general manager

    I don't think I can agree with you on that one. I moved to Phoenix in 1981...from St. Louis. There were plenty of pro football fans, but few, if any that I can recall. The city was blanketed by Cowboys jerseys. There might have been a few, but I think extrapolating that from an ASFN user...

    Phoenix Suns have begun search for new general manager

    I guess I would ask you the following: 1. What do baseball fans in Brooklyn think of the Dodgers? 2. What do basketball fans in Seattle think about the Thunder? 3. What do basketball fans in St. Louis think about the Atlanta Hawks? 4. What do hockey fans in Atlanta think of the Calgary...

    Coyotes Injuries

    Damn this is a blow. Stepan was the instant offense the Yotes need sometimes. Now you're gonna have to rush Dvorak back, if you even want to do it. The Yotes are on the cusp of just mailing it in...or making the playoffs. This is the Yotes zeitgeist.

    Woj: Suns in a state of disrepair.

    Again, you pretty much made my point for me. Sarver cares more about cash flow statements.

    Woj: Suns in a state of disrepair.

    Thank you for making my point for me. Sarver is not Sterlintg. But they ran/run their basketball teams the same way: shoew he owner a black number down in NIAT, and they are happy. Wins and losses be damned. As to Bobby's track record as a banker, too long to explain the thing to you...

    Current pucketology has ASU traveling to New Hampshire to play in the Regional vs. Northeastern. Just hope they don't get sent west to play St. Cloud State. Now then, the Gophers: :D...

    Woj: Suns in a state of disrepair.

    Well, there was the instance of Donald Sterling and the Clippers. Sterling operating that team like Sarver operates the Suns. But Sterling stepped into some deep legal doo-doo, and Adam Silver held the Sword of Damocles over his head. I don't know how long Suns fans can tolerate a shite-team...

    In related news: The Sun rose in the east and set in the west. Income taxes are due in April. Elephants still have big ears. Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

    ASU Baseball 2019

    Normally I'd say the first big series would be vs. Fullerton St. But even they dropped from the top 25. The whole Gestalt of the Pac is odd this year. Instead of ASU and USC, you've got UCLA, Stanford and OSU in the top 10. Dr. Jim Brock's beach chair has to be a little unhappy with these...
