Control the boards and take good shots. That’s a big formula for success and particularly to avoid bad losses.

I was obviously a huge Dixon fan for about fifteen different reasons, but a big one was that I never had any doubt what his teams were trying to do. Capel routinely gets undressed by anybody with a decent offensive scheme.

All good. The boys are crazy! Growing so fast.

I’m so glad you are bud. Sending love to you and Kristy.

With two young kids I can’t even imagine spending four hours on a Saturday to watch that product. I watched maybe an hour and a half and I was flabbergasted at the mistakes and strategy.

And frankly, even if he simply hits close to his career norms, but not terrible like he had been his last stretch in Pittsburgh, he's still probably a three win player. It's why I would have just kept him and hoped he bounced back a little bit given his value at that time.

This roster is bad and the player selections are even worse. I feel badly for the four or five guys who can play at a high level because the other guys just can’t keep up.

Classic Timbo.

Fun game. Give me Levance, Jaron, Jamel, Champagnie and DeJuan. That team has enough of everything to be great. Probably Cam off the bench in case the backcourt doesn't have quite enough shooting.

Boo Silver Slugger.

Bucs. We have a good bit of overlap today.

Bucs. Love Al Cowens!

Bucs. There had to be some better options here I’m guessing.

Bucs. LaFail.

For Pirates fans of a certain era he was kind of a cult favorite. I used to go to Altoona to see the Curve every year and he put up huge numbers for them (as an overage prospect).

People might know that Rhoden and Caveman can hit. How many people have even heard of Hyzdu or know that the Pirates hosted the All-Star Game and had arguably the worst rep in modern history in Garcia?

Me too. Hyzdu.
