The Sacramento Kings: Born to Lose

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:47:42 +1900

While I enjoyed the "fat" years of the Kings continually reaching the playoffs every season, part of me says that those years were not legitimate, and the Kings are back to playing their appropriate role. Losers. Welcome back, Kings. Some sick parts of us missed you.

Reggie Theus Press Conference, Live Thread

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:29:14 +2000

Welcome to Sactown (again), Mr. Theus. May you enjoy more success than your predecessor. Avoiding a DUI at least through 2008 would be a great start. Trading a few guys would be good too.

Left at the Altar: Stan Van Gundy Says NO to Kings

Thu, 7 Jun 2007 08:17:48 +2000

The Sacramento Kings were the backup, and the Magic got their man. When most sane Kings fans went to bed on Wednesday night, all indications were that Stan Van Gundy was to be the Kings' new coach in the morning. But the only clues you had that he was ever there were the lingering smell of aftershave, your rumpled sheets, and the toilet seat was left up. Because we got screwed.

What a Great Day to Be An A's Fan!

Mon, 14 May 2007 00:40:56 +2000

Down 7-5 to the Indians to start the 9th, the A's Milton Bradley clubbed a 2 out, 2 strike, 2 run home run to tie the game up... setting the plate for Jack Cust, super hero, who bombed a 3 run shot to win it. Oakland is now a scene of pure bedlam, and Cust has 6 homers in a mere 26 ABs.
