Eaton? For Young? Huh?

What does Jon Daniels know that we don't know?

Adam has the scoop.

What statistics or scouting reports would lead anyone to believe that Adam Eaton is better than Chris Young and Adrian Gonzalez?

Yes, Gonzalez is blocked by Teixeira, so he had to be traded. But, at the price of Young? To get a mid-level starting pitcher like Eaton back?

As good as the Soriano trade was, this one is much more likely to backfire. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm just not seeing the logic.

Game 25: History, but not what I wanted to see!

Kobe. 62 points. 3 quarters.

Mavs. 61 points. 3 quarters.

Yah, that was a fun game to watch in person. Not.

Towards the middle of the third quarter, my dad leaned over to me and says, "At least we're seeing history."

During that quarter after Kobe broke 50, I called my friend whose season tickets we were sitting in to say, "Um, you're watching this on TV, right?" He was TiVoing it and was only at the second quarter. He said, "Kobe's been on fire." I said, "You ain't seen nothing yet."

All hope was lost after Steve Javie called the idiotic technical foul on Dirk. My dad couldn't understand why the Lakers fans were booing Javie at the introductions; he understood by the time of the technical foul and the ridiculously tight game they were calling why he merited the boos. After that, we just knew AJ was going to be tossed. My mood quickly descended into, "They're not going to win, so let's watch Kobe beat my team single-handedly."

*sigh*

One of my friends had an email in my inbox when I got home that said: Subject line: "Two words." Body: "Kobe. Bryant."

What are friends for?
