The Roundup: Bloggers Beware!
Uncategorized June 19th. 2007, 11:38am
MLB had its first coaching casualty Monday, as Orioles skipper Sam Perlozzo got the ax. Something we didn’t hear anybody talking about – how does pitching coach Leo Mazzone get a pass? Brought into punch up the putrid pitching staff, we haven’t noticed a slight difference in Bedard, Cabrera or any of Baltimore’s starters. But Perlozzo gets the ax? Wacky wild, kool-aid style! … here’s a comparison that’s interesting – Shaq vs. Duncan, in their primes. A Floridian writer going for Shaq is no surprise, but can we get someone from a neutral city to chime in?

Shaq vs. Duncan is like comparing Russell to Chamberlain. On their respective teams, in their respective systems, they fit. Although without Robert Horry or Steve Kerr, neither of these guys wins anything. Everybody knows that.

She’s gotta retain that amateur status.

you guys should really think of making links within entires a more prominent color because they are tough to distinquish from non-linked areas. just a thought.

Bedard:AL leader in K’s. O’s starters:3rd best ERA in the AL. There is your Mazzone explanation.

I would take Wilt over Shaq in his prime, possibly Kareem.
Who would you take over Duncan in his prime?
Shaq was more dominant, but Duncan is better. I’d start a team with Duncan. The only reason Shaq was so dominant was look at his competition. He was bigger and stronger than everyone and simply used force to dominant. The amount of good-to-great forwards in the league greatly out numbers the amount of good-to-great centers.
Who is the most dominant center ever? Shaq. Who is the best all-around and who would I pick to build a team around? Wilt.
But again, I’d pick Duncan every day over Shaq.
