lol jrg is the ultimate Pujols simp. He spurns the Cards to sign with the Angels, then joins the Dodgers and knocks the Cards out and you're cheering for LA because of him. Gross.

yes i do enjoy watching my favorite baseball player doing well

you are correct sir!

I wanted Malone to get a ring with the Lakers so I don't see the big deal in that.

We need to protest trash umpiring when we see it.

Lol so melodramatic

Many people, including actual Dodger fans, think that call was b******t.

I'm not talking about the call. I'm talking about the post saying "anyone with integrity" shouldn't watch the rest of the postseason lol.

It's a game. Perhaps a bad call. We've had plenty go against us as niner fans. We've had plenty go our way. It's part of sports.

i love how the giants fans are blaming the check swing for the loss..lol

No one is blaming the check swing as the reason we lost. Don't be silly. We're people pissed in the moment? Sure. But no one genuinely believes that's the reason we lost.

Yea I don't really see that. The zone was so bad last night that you really wonder if there should be just robots or an electric strike zone...I have always been a traditionalist but when an ump can affect a game that negatively in such a crucial game, including the last play...I mean at the very least he should not allowed to be calling a playoff game again.

lol what???

Malone spoiled finishing his entire career with the Jazz for a last ditch super team ring with a hated rival. He also ruined his shot at Kareem's record by doing that. Was pretty disappointed in him for doing that. Glad the Lakers didn't win it.

I know all that but guys like him and Payton deserved rings. Payton at least got one with Miami but the Jazz franchise had gone to utter s**t thanks to Kevin O'Connor wasting picks on guys like DeShawn Stevenson, Scott Padgett, Quincy Lewis, Curtis Borchardt, and Raul Lopez. Wasting money on guys like Mark Jackson, John Starks and John Amechi. They gave Karl and John no real younger help so I didn't blame him at the time for leaving. The organization was cheap and couldn't scout worth a damn. Harpring and Marshall don't make up for all that other garbage.

Went out last night after the game. Dodgers and giants fans everywhere. Not one person said it's the reason we lost. However he didn't swing and the at bat should've continued.

I had people agree with me that gun to my head, if I had to be right, I would say Flores ends up making an out regardless. However it's just bad to end it all on a legitimate blown call

IMO the ring would've only meant something if it was in Utah. Jumping on the Lakers for one season just to get one would've been a technicality. He just wanted to be along for the ride. Nobody credits Gary Payton for winning a ring with the Heat. His name just gets taken off the list of guys who never won.

It just seems weirdly desperate when stars nearing retirement join the best team to get a ring. His legacy would've meant more if he had gone start to finish with the Jazz and passed Kareem. Ive always said, hundreds of players have rings, but theres only one all time leading scorer. He should've prioritized that after he missed out on his chances at a championship.

Being along for the ride would've meant that they were bench players that barely played. Malone and GP were both playing over 30 min a game and were the next leading scorers behind Kobe and Shaq. Gary averaged nearly 30 min a game the next season with the Heat. So he does credit for helping them win a ring.

And I'm not sure if he even passes Kareem if he's playing just one more year, he would've had to average a good bit over 20 a game and play the whole season. Either way, that wouldn't have been more important seeing how that record is gonna be broken soon.

Wait, what thread is this?

Malone is one of the most selfish guys on the planet, he felt that he needed that ring for his own personal outlook on his career. Karl realized he was wrong afterwards but he never cared what others wanted from him. We all wanted that scoring record for him and he probably could have got it had he never left, but he did and I rooted for him that year. I wasn't gonna turn on the guy who made the franchise relevant when I was a kid and at the time I was just a sophomore or junior in high school. Still rooted for the Jazz and their underdog battle with the Griz for the 8th seed too so it's not that big of a deal.
