Let me rephrase, are there any time-telling wrist-clock fans out there?

Bryce Harper makes his debut for the Nationals tonight at 9pm on MLB Network!! Great pitching matchup too, with Strasburg going against Billingsley.

Brysanity! Yeah, I'm really looking forward to that game, probably more than NBA games tonight.

I thought it was a bit early for the Nats (the kid is only 19 and wasn't exactly lighting it up in AAA) but they're really riding the wave right now and the kid is a phenom. Strasburg vs Kemp should be interesting by itself.

I guess the PG refused to learn the spin move.

did you really point out that the pg is from latvia just because you remembered that I'm latvian?

I heard the Nats GM on the radio yesterday and he said that Harper's been swinging the bat really well of late. I just looked at his stats and see that he hasn't had may extra base hits so far so I assume he's been hitting into a lot of hard outs. Also I wonder how much the opposing pitchers challenge him. They probably throw him a lot of junk and give him nothing to hit. I'm sure Billingsley is going to challenge him tonight. Tough place to hit for a rookie making his debut at Dodger Stadium. Really looking forward to it! Strasburg too!

this game was televised live here in US on foxsoccer plus. i finally saw my first freo game, but i only caught the 2nd half. they got lit up in the 3rd. looked like the bobcats out there. made a nice comeback in the 4th, but too little too late.

Carlton ran out of steam in that game, the siren saved us. But thankfully we did enough in the 3rd quarter.

Most impressive part was sitting 2 rows from Megan Gale

thanks for dropping this by, nice read...

reminded me of a piece written on Clifford Rozier, another Warrior big who became addicted to crack:

Group of olympic tournament was made today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball ... r_Olympics

Funny fact: If Mullens make it, his big men coach (ass.coach) on UK would be former Bobcats big men coach - Paul Mokeski.

Yes, it's true. He can finish studying in the university as a regular student though as his scholarship will stand.

1. The only thing I don't like about Kate Upton is that I can't decide which way I'd want to **** her first

2. Somebody needs to make a gif out of that clip from :51-:53

3. COUNT IN YOUR HEAD!

In other news, Hamilton still says Okafor is a better player than Tyson Chandler. :oops:

Well, I don't see it in Upton. I guess somebody has to be a supermodel. First time I saw the gif in the stands I thought it was some random no-name chick. I guess my perspective is skewed. Let me demonstrate it with help of this priceless beer (the real one) add:
