Around SBN: The 2009-2010 Card Chronicle Big East basketball preview

Pretty pictures

There are some nice photos up of various Bakersfield Blaze players here...

And I have to admit, I had a Brandon Boggs/Wes Littleton moment when I saw K.C. Herren...

For no reason

I had always thought Johnny Whittleman would be African American (just like I thought Duran would be white).

John Whittleman and Marcus Lemon were a lot of fun to watch last year with Clinton. I can’t wait to go watch this year’s group of kids in a few weeks.

Heh

Most of the players have 20 – 30 views.

KC Herren is head and shoulders above everyone else with 97 views.

Brandon Boggs

I thought he was white until I saw him in Frisco.

by jparks77 on May 15, 2008 4:51 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I thought he was white right up until...

...his first AB as a Ranger last month.

Right around the time all the young talent is ready to contend is when the organization will realize that Ron Washington is the wrong man for the job.

He's not white?

I need a new tv.

...and curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git.

Man

I always assumed Boggs was black and Herren was white, so no surprise there.

I still remember how shocked I was the first time I saw Khalil Greene…

lol

Why, Adam? Cause of the whole “had the talent to be a D-1 running back/defensive back” thing at the time he was drafted?

:)

One of the pre-eminent Rangers experts on the web didn’t know that a former #1 draft pick was white? Not to pick on Adam but this is one of the reasons I usually get a good chuckle when I read posts on here about prospects that I KNOW the poster has never seen play….and apparently never even seen a picture of in some cases.

2nd Round....

My bad.

Similarly...

I often get a chuckle out of people repeating “scout-memes” that they read somewhere and poo-pooing people who have never seen a player play.

"Good point!"

I never saw Cy Young pitch but I’m still 99.99999999999999% sure he was pretty frickin’ awesome.

Random observation

For a team called the “Blaze” those hat logos and the back jerseys they’ve got are pretty damn cool. The way the lonestar flag on the sleeve stands out is particularly sweet. I’d say the Blaze have actually got pretty nice uni’s, as far as minor league teams go. They’re not overdone or cheesy.

Oh, and I think we need to call up Tommy Hunter the next time we play the Mariners. Just so we can sic him on Richie Sexson.

David Murphy rocks, so Ellsbury can just go get himself a taco or something.

by lonestarJon on May 15, 2008 7:12 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Why?

We have German.

Just start him, then pull him after Sexson bats. I’m sure no one would be suspicious.
