Yeah, baseball.

Their 3rd fire sale in 15 years. They traded 5 players today, the 5 making the most money and 2 who they signed just a year ago, for a few prospects.

They built a stadium, promised they wouldnt do this again, had a bad year, fired their manager, then today finished it off by trading anyone making money.

With taxpayers' money.

[Wade2Bosh]

Ah yes, left off the most important detail.

So thankful I don't like baseball. I was a fan during the two title runs, but they lost me after that, and I every time I try to watch baseball now I get bored after 2 pitches. Such a shitty mess that franchise is. One very funny part: Jose Reyes cut his dreads to abide by a team rule. He lasted under a year.

And yeah, the city is on the hook for $2.4 billion. A possible brightside: It looks like they might be setting up a sale of the franchise. Mark Cuban is a name being tossed around a lot. How weird would that be?

In happy news, the ASG ballots are out. You can vote a full ballot on NBA.com, tweet one player's first/last name and the reason for voting for him with #NBABALLOT, and by texting a player's last name to 69622. You can only vote once per day. For the latter two, everyone should vote for Bosh, since our two others are pretty much shoo-ins to start.

Would be pretty cool to be the first team since the Showtime Lakers to have 3 starters. Even if Bosh plays well throughout the voting process, fans may not take notice.

How much of a shoein is Wade despite his recent play?

Rose is out, is Rondo the only other legit Guard up there?

Melo is a F...

I haven't looked up the ballot yet...

[Jace]

Derron Williams.

[Dee-Zy]

Just saw the ballot now...

Wow, the West Frontcourt is stacked.

Durant should be a shoe-in but who will be the other 2 starters?

Howard?
Griffin?
Dirk?
Is Love even legitimate in the conversation?

I have a feeling it will be Howard and Griffin.

[doctordrizzay]

Howard and Griffen since they are alot more exciting than Dirk at an All Star game....Dirk also hasnt played yet

[Jace]

*shoo-in - sorry, that one always bothers me.

Dirk? No. Durant, Griffin, Howard. Lock.

[Dee-Zy]

thanks, always wondered how the **** that is spelled.

Oh, no. People Magazine just ruined us. They chose Rio as one of the 50 sexiest men alive. Though, it should be noted that this time they decided to switch things up and choose one man from each state. He beat out Carlos Boozer for Alaska, I guess.

So, with Wade's previous recognition, I guess we have the sexiest back court in the NBA, according to People.

Rio wasn't confident enough.

Did anyone ever find out what the deal was with Boozer's hair that day!?

Probably somebody with some new hair product saw famous bald guy with access to huge audience and probably paid him a shitload of money to tout their product.
