NBA Offers New Rules For Referees NBA Commissioner David Stern revealed that over 50% of the league's officials violated league gambling rules, but maintained that Tim Donaghy is the only ref to have bet on basketball games. Stern said the league is introducing new rules and procedures for referees, such as not revealing the officials for a game until the morning of the game, and allowing referees to gamble in casinos during certain times of the year, and to play state lotteries. The Commissioner also pledged to be more forthcoming with the public regarding officials' mistakes, and said he'll take no action against Isiah Thomas and the Knicks until their appeal process is completed.

More like the A-Hole of the NBA. How is he an ass-hole!? He's a great player looking for a way out of an organization that refuses to build its team around him. He's been waiting for them to bring in some players to complement him. I say he's right. He;s BETTER than a-rod in that all a-rod wants is money...kobe is looking for a championship! he's a winner.

A-Rod a Mud Hen? Alex Rodriguez was offered a lucrative minor league contract from the Toledo Mud Hens. Of course it came from one of George Steinbrenner's sons. Will this be the only offer he gets considering he is asking for a $350 million contrat just to begin negotiations?

Pretty Funny... seen it before. Though that i wouldnt like the Steinbrenner boys but now imn starting to like Hank. Screw A-Rod. The Yankees won with Charlie Hayes. Scott Brosius got an MVP!

Some consider them only another piece of equipment. They don't understand that baseball gloves, like the game, are eternal.

Report: Dodgers hire Torre as manager; Little fired It seems pretty certain now that it is true. Don Mattingly, Tony Pena, Rob Thomson and Kevin Long will be coaches. The 2008 Los Angeles Dodgers look a whole more interesting now than they did this morning.

Torre will have to adjust quickly to this team. They are a young, talented ballclub but different from the yankees. He will have to use the hit and run more and general 'small ball' tactics more often Plus he'll have to try NOT to overuse proctor's arm this time.

Thank you Joey Michaels for pointing out the key stupidity in Bonds' statement. "Five years." He absoilutely does NOT have it in him, and no team wants him for that long or will take that long down the line. Sorry buddy, you're a washed up cheater.

Rudy Giuliani, Red Sox Fan "I will be rooting for the Red Sox because I am an American League fan," former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani told a group of local reporters in New Hampshire Tuesday. "In this case, you won the division and we lost." On the other side, the Democratic frontrunner so famously switched teams that it was mocked in a book, I've Always Been a Yankees Fan: Hillary Clinton in Her Own Words.

What's the difference? He's still a Yankee fan. Just not as passionate as the rest of us. he wasn't born a hater, so he CAN root for the BoSux, i mean BoSox, in the WS. Who gives a crap anyways?

56*? Does Joe DiMaggio's streak deserve an asterisk?
posted by mr_crash_davis at 06:49 PM on October 25
That is the most absolutely ridiculous article i have ever read. Dimag earned his record, earned his hall of fame appearance, and earned the right to be remembered as a great ballplayer. Joe Dimaggio was a hell of a ballplayer and if anything that asterisk should note the fact that it is the greatest record around and probably unbreakable. Shame on Robbeson for every bringing that up! p.s.- mr. crash davis- you have officially pissed me off!

Yankees Broadcaster Suzyn Waldman Cries on the Air There's no crying in baseball? The Yankees radio broadcaster fought through tears during the postgame show after the series- and potentially era-ending loss. "This is rough," said Waldman, describing Manager Joe Torre's press conference. "I was OK actually 'til I went into the clubhouse -- and the coaches are sitting in Torre's office and they are watching this. The tears you hear in my voice are coming down the faces of the coaches." Hear the audio.

Please! If i was in that room with every man having tears swelling in his eyes, i would've been on the verge too. She did noithing "unprofessional." She communicated the situation to her audience - very vividly- and all the tears did were add to her broadcast. I'm chill with that and there's no reason not to be.

Torre Leaving New York After Turning Down Incentive-Linked Contract New York Yankees manager Joe Torre rejected a contract that would cut his base salary from $7.5 million to $5 million and add $1 million for reaching the playoffs, $1 million for reaching the ALCS and $1 million for a World Series berth. "It's now time for the New York Yankees to move forward," said team president Randy Levine.

That 1 year offer was nothing short of INSULTING. To manage a great team like the Yankees for twelve straight seasons, including a season (this one) where they came back from 13 under, is an incredible feat. For the organization to offer him only 1 year with a pay cut was disturbing, and Torre did the right thing, leaving with pride and dignity!
