As the years pass the pain of losing to the Lakers In 2002 fades, then this.....Donaghy says refs fixed this great series and I mean great series. It makes me madder than hell to relive this, I know you Lakers fans are goina say we Kings fans are cry babies and all, and maybe we should forget but we can't. I remember where I was at the moment, I truly felt something was wrong.....I was sitting in my living room with my favorite beverage a Jack and Coke, watching game six of what I thought was the two best teams of the year, man how exciting huh. Back and forth this series went with what I thought was the greatest series of games I ever witnessed, I am biased because I love my team......Six years later I am reminded about something so crazy as a FIX, Oh man by a admitted felon...dang now what to think of course are beloved commissioner David Stern denied the allegations saying the RAT Donaghy would love to ease his sentence....maybe federal prison doesn't appeal to him I don't know for sure I do know now that something was wrong. Was Sacramento not allowed to win a championship, the game was called in favor of the Lakers by the numbers alone..........
I have had season tickets to the Kings since they came here in 86' and I have been a loyal fan of the NBA since there arrival, I hope they do a full investigation and find these charges false....until then I will be very cautious. I have to admit at the time I thought with so many others that game 6 was the worst officiated game that I had ever seen, but beening a loyal Kings fan I thought homerism was what It was and just let it go.....You know how you think you get #### on every call, man thats just being a fan!
I hope for hope sake that they fully investigate this with private investigaters and if they find that this is true, I will give my Kings tickets up.............I will never give pro hoops another chance if proven guilty...I invested thousands of dollars on my team every year for the last twenty-two years, lots of cocktails and paid lots for parking.
I was thinkin that I would let game 6 go but.......I CAN'T and never have, we got ripped off as fans and even you LAKER fans should see this but I remember even the Laker players said nothing was wrong...OK, but our town..our cow town had something taken from us, and it wasn't our cow bells it was something that maybe all never in my life see again, a chance to say Sac won the championship of the world, us fans gave a lot....and it wasn't enough...
We suck as a league to think that the deal between Memphis and LA was a good deal, Gasol for whatever and it looks like the boys from LA just got away with a total rip off....thats a deal that should have been vetoed..Being a basketball fan this sucks!
Recent news has Shaq, for Marion the Suns must be in desperate shape to send Marion for Shaq...I really can't see the profit.....there payrolls seem close, but shaq can't play and whats with Marion...top 5 player.........doesnt make sense!
Its all about contracts, just wish my kings would trade Artest.....we need something to have hope for, GO KINGS
The Giants season has been a major disappointment, mired in last place despite Barry's personnal achievements, he can still play but not for us!!!!! Dogged by steriod allegations the last three years, Bonds hit 28 homers this year and don't expect anymore, its over for sure, I was at the game on Fri. the 10th of Aug. and Bonds hit number 758 aganist the Pirates, the last time I will see Barry in a Giants uniform! I love my Giants but have a deep relief that its over and I don't know how else to describe it! Bonds has long denied using steriods and I don't believe him!
Obviously Barry Bonds can still hit, their will be suiters....so good luck Barry and I hope the best for you and your family, just leave and don't feel bitter for the great city of San Francisco and Northern California, we supported you!
Shadowed by speculation we stood by you, we as Giants fans lived with all the drama that you brought us, you have long denied using performance-enhancing drugs, you shoulda come clean you will be hopelessly tainted by steriod allegations and the abuse of this ####!!!!!!!!!!!! I write this in such distress and in hopes that our children don 't think this is right, I'm very disappointed in MLB and you, we knew this was going on for too long and let it slide, our bad!!!!!
I don't write that much nor do I care too, the last straw to me was when Marc Ecko decided to have a vote on what to do with Barrys homerun ball, this person has no idea what he has done, I have been a Giants fan since I was born and I'm imbarrassed to say that he made a joke out of our game, I guess that gives all the people a chance to vote what to do with a ball, a freaken ball...some kid made 750 thou and this freak is goina send it to space, well as a player of the great game I won't vote! I love the game!
Well the Giants have finally gave up, being swept by the Pirates today has to be one of the alltime low points in fans recent memory! I was witness to Fridays latest bullpen meltdown, it wasn't pretty. I guess most would like to blame Barry Bonds, all he has done this year is lead the team in Homers, walks and on base percentage, and most all the other stats. Does he want to win or does he really care? I don't know , the journalists who have been dealing with Barry's lousy personality for years seemed more worked up about the circumstances surrounding this achievement than about winning, these guys understandably don't like Bonds!
Get that smile off your face!
From the sound of the heavy booing after another poor outing the other Barry has replaced Benitez as the new whipping boy for the Giants fans, unfortunately Zito's has six more years left, only owed about 108 million, OUCH! Six more years like this year would be unbearable! The Giants will have a hard time rebuilding with this stinking contract for Zito! His era is a disappointing 5.13 and with a record of 8-11 he isn't making any new fans, it seems like he gave up before the season started!
The Giants bullpen leads the league in lost games, blown games they just suck! General Manager Sabean signed a 2 year contract, geez how smart is that after last year he said we were going to get younger, and he proceeds to go out and get Aurilla, Roberts and Klesco all old farts! What the Giants wanted to do was make sure that they filled the seats and made money they didn't care about winning a penant, what they cared about was a homeruns by Barry Bonds, that chase of Hank Aaron would assure that the seats would be filled and they would make money, to hell with winning ballgames!!! I care about winning and personal #### should be secondary, its not this year!
To end this rant Bonds is flawed like most, he probably cheated in some form, but should that diminish the fact that he is best homerun hitter in history, he doesn't approach Hank Aarons dignity yet it takes incredible talent to hit homeruns, the mere fact of how many times he was walked is amazing enough, if teams would have pitched to him its hard telling how many ####s he would have hit! I can't wait for some FOOTBALL!!!!!
The Sacramento Kings 45 minutes ago hired a new coach, former player and star for the KIngs Reggie Theus, what do you basktball fans think of this, Kings brass said they were looking for some experience and I don't see where there goina get it here!
He accepted a three year contract in the range of 2 mil per season, as Kings fans we were a little shocked when they hired Eric Musselman last year and now this, I always loved Reggie's outgoing personality so maybe this is what the Kings and the players need, also someone who played the game Reggie said "I've never been speechless in my life," goodbye Eric the #### hello Reggie! Well Reggie I'm speechless too but anything was better than no balls Musselman!
Reggie Theus was the head coach at New Mexico State where he seemed to do a great job, I'm excited and hopefully he can turn things around here in couple years, we still hold out hope that GM Geoff Petrie can work some magic and get back to the playoffs and become something to be proud of, good luck Reggie, your going need it!
I'm from Sacramento and a huge Kings fan, but also a huge basketball fan. I have season tickets to the Kings and have had tickets since their arival in Sac. I love the game, Arco Arena is crazy no matter how the teams doing, great place to see the stars. We here in Sac have had a good run for about 8 years but I think we could be rebuilding and also have arena issues. Go Kings!!!!!! I have been a Giants fan since birth my Father brought me up on the Giants and 49ers, I love all sports!
