According To ESPN: "The New York Knicks had claimed Williams off waivers and owned exclusive negotiating rights to him. After working out Williams and entering into talks, however, the two sides could not reach agreement."

Joe Johnson D'Antoni 2010 Reunion?

 

                      Koc-jan-5-7_medium

How hard do you think the Knicks will go after Joe Johnson in the summer of 2010? Johnson played under Mike D'Antoni for 3 and half seasons in Phoenix averaging 15 points per game before being traded to Atlanta in 2005. I'm sure D'Antoni would love to have him back in his offense. Personally I would really like to see the Knicks go after Johnson next summer. I think that he's one of the most underrated players in the game today. Not only can he take you off the dribble and drive, but he can also step back and fill it up from deep. I know everybody wants to see LeBron or D Wade in the blue and orange but I don't think that Joe Johnson would be a bad acquisition either.

Who's Your Daddy Detroit? LUUUUUUKE: In Luke's career against the Tigers he's hitting .500 (19-38) with 10 Homers, 21 RBI and an astronomical 1.395 slugging percentage.

GameThread: O's (36-46) @ Mariners (42-39)

Eaux's Notes:
  • Bergy On The Bump: Brad Bergesen tries to earn his first win on the road this season. He's 0-1 with a 4.88 ERA in five starts away from the Yards.
  • Home Cooking: Seattle has been red hot at Safeco winning 9 of it's last 11 home games.
  • O's Own Washburn: One bright spot for the O's is Jarrod Washburn's on the mound for the Mariners. Washburn has been absolutely horrendous in his last six starts against the O's, going 0-4 and posting a 6.06 ERA.
  • The Doc Feels Right At Home: Since leaving Seattle Adam Jones is batting .412 (14 for 34) at his old home. Another thing that should be noted is the Doc has gone 4-9 with three doubles when facing Washburn in his career.

Camden Chat: Fantasy Baseball League

I'm looking to start a Camden Chat Fantasy Baseball League on ESPN and wanted to see if anybody would be interested in joining.

The scoring format will be Head-to-Head: Each Category with 10 total categories:

Batting: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG

Pitching: W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

Once I get an idea of how many people want to join I'll set up the league and let everybody know when the live draft will be held.

Just let me know if you're interested

Geaux Eaux's!
