A pair of very talented teammates leads this week’s waiver wire.One player is hitting .366 with five home runs and 32 RBI.Another is getting his opportunity to play every day and is on the verge of stardom.These players will not last long, which leads to this week’s waiver wire.Starting Pitchers in Focus: Brandon MorrowMorrow has started to turn replica Baume & Mercier 8522 Ladie's watch around his season in August. After nearly throwing a no hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays, Morrow is 2 0 with an ERA of 3.14. He is holding opponents to a .154 batting average.

Well, this has got to be one of the most incredible pitching performances I have ever seen. Bud Norris struggled to find his release point and grip right off – he had a tough time throwing strikes to McCutchen, leading off, then threw a fat one down the middle, which he lined waaaaaay to the right of the RF bullpen – Bourn tried desperately to dive at the last replica Baume & Mercier 8025 Men's watch second, but missed, and by the time Pence retrieved the ball and threw it in, McCutchen, who runs like Bourn, was on thrid with a standup triple. Then he hung a slider to Garrett Jones, who promptly sent it into the lower RF bleachers.Great.

With mid August finally coming upon us, the cool fall weather appears to be taking its toll on some hitters.Who is going through a cold streak?Is anyone heating up as the fantasy playoffs near? Let's take a look at the Week 20 Start/Sit.Starting Pitcher to StartI think that as baseball fans we can come to one united consensus: The Cubs are horrible. For over 100 years, the team has been unable to win a World Series, and now in 2010, they replica Baume & Mercier 8695 Men's watch are their usually reliable starting pitchers seem downright dreadful.So what does this have to do with anything? This is where former Cubs southpaw Ted Lilly comes into the picture. With Chicago, the veteran accumulated a 3 8 record; however, this win loss ratio should begin to change as he makes his mark with the Los Angeles Dodgers. (He has won his first two starts as a Dodger, bringing him to 5 8 on the year.)

Myth: Pippen was one of the greatest players of his eraBy greatest of his era

Myth: Pippen was one of the greatest players of his eraBy greatest of his era, I mean one of the five or six best to play the game at that time, the problem is that the basketball hall of fame has low standards and lets in more players than deserved. I believe hall of fame should be only for the five or six greatest players per era, with a few exceptions, not replica Baume & Mercier 8440 Ladie's watch letting in every player who was simply great or really good.While Pippen was a great player, he certainly wasn’t in the top five or six players to play in the early to mid 90s. Pippen prime lasted from the 90 91 season to the 96 97 season, in that span Pippen averaged 20 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, those are impressive numbers but not top five or six during his era.

Unfortunately for Scottie Pippen the era he played in was one of the NBA’s greatest, he’s definitely not one of the greatest of that era by my standards.To list a few that were certainly better than Pippen, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, and Hakeem Olajuwon, not to mention Michael Jordan. Those six are considered to be among the top 25 players to ever play the game.Then there’s the second tier of hall replica Baume & Mercier 8464 Ladie's watch of famers, one that includes John Stockton, Reggie Miller, and Pippen. Stockton was inducted to the hall of fame last year, and is the all time leader in assists, and steals, undoubtedly a hall of famer. I believe Reggie Miller should go in on the first ballot, just like Pippen did.

Pippen was a top 10 player of his era, but not in that upper tier of five or six guys, therefore not one of greatest players of his era, but a great player who played in one of basketballs best times.The bottom lineScottie Pippen was a great player, he had a great career, but the bottom line is Scottie Pippen wouldn’t be celebrated the way he is today had he not played with Michael Jordan. Pippen came to the league in a perfect replica Baume & Mercier 8592 Men's watch situation, had he been asked to carry a team on his back his whole career, Pippen would be ring less. We saw it when Jordan left basketball, Pippen was asked to carry the team, and he knew he couldn’t do it.I’m not saying Pippen isn’t a hall of famer, but he wasn’t a top 50 player, he wasn’t one of the greatest of his era, he wasn’t a clutch player, he was a product of the great Michael Jordan.

he would be inbounding and not taking the shot himself

Pippen was furious that he would be inbounding and not taking the shot himself, after he had groomed himself to be the team’s best player.Pippen had been trying to be Jordan all year, however instead of inbounding; Pippen threw the replica Baume & Mercier 8124 Men's watch towel, sat out the play in which Kukoc hit a fall away 23 footer. Pippen had basically quit with the game up for grabs.That’s not the only example, Pippen’s first year in Portland, the Blazers up 15 points with 10 minutes left against the Lakers, game 7, it’s win or go home, and Portland has all but secured.

The Lakers went on a 15 0 run and eventually won 89 84 to pull off what is the greatest comeback in NBA history, and the worst choke in NBA history.Pippen had a terrible game as he fouled out with 25 seconds left, and shot 3 for 10 from the field, finishing with 12 points, 10 rebounds Pippen was brought into Portland to bring veteran leadership, replica Baume MOA8386 Men's watch experience, and a closer.Everyone was waiting for Pippen to take over the game, to be a closer and seal the deal for Portland, however Pippen came up very small, scoring 9 of his 12 in the first quarter, and going 1 for 7 from the field for the rest of the game.

Instead of taking over the game, Pippen watched Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith, and Brian Grant shoot the Blazers out of the game, he did nothing, he just stood by, and was barely noticeable. The Blazers needed a few baskets to seal the deal, and Pippen was nowhere to be found.Every time the Bulls had the chance at the winning shot, they would replica Baume & Mercier 8484 Men's watch rather have Jordan taking the shot with five guys on him, than a wide open Pippen, Jordan got the shot no matter how he was guarded, Pippen wasn’t the guy who puts the team on his back and finds a way to win in the worst of circumstances.Pippen was asked to be Jordan when Jordan left the game, he was asked to be a veteran leader when he joined the Blazers, the pressure was simply too much to handle.
