KilaMonster coming through again last night. Someone please give Mr. Beane a call for me and ask him when Barton’s scholarship ends. Dude is garbage and shouldn’t be starting at 1st base. Period!!!!!!

Has Mystic even come here since we cut soup? I haven’t seen him at all.

As for McClain I hope he does turn his personal life around. “Cash” does not buy class, but “change” does. Ethical people do what’s right before they make the bank.
As far as on the field, and the comparisons to Ray-Ray Lewis not looking good. Ray Lewis had game before the big knife fight. McClainwould not be missed.

DMAC,
you’re pretty good at that!

May 22nd, 2012 at 9:37 am
I want a big RB to be used with our fast and undersized RBs. DMAC: 6′2 215, Goodson 6′ 210, and Jones is 6′ 195. We have 2 RBs over 230 on the roster, we also have Reece, and we can add more players after the cuts.
May 22nd, 2012 at 9:41 am
I think we are good at RB, QB, and WR.
May 22nd, 2012 at 9:41 am
Does anybody think Reece is a big back?
4 and 1 do we hand it off to Reece for the tough yard?
May 22nd, 2012 at 9:41 am
cut knapp and we head in the right direction.
May 22nd, 2012 at 9:42 am
I think so.
May 22nd, 2012 at 9:47 am
IMHO, we should use Reece the same way The Rats & Billisacheat use A Hernandez.

questions for Corkran:
1 – do you think Reggie or Dennis will address the McClain incident, or do you think they’ll just wait to see what happens at the trial and if he gets suspended by the league, deal with it at that time?
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:06 am
I dont think cockroaches and scorpions lives here..
weed isnt that an all-year thing?
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:08 am
questions for Corkran:
2 – any word on Marcel Reece and his contract situation? Is Reggie working on a new contract for him, or do you think it’s a standing offer to play for what he’s been offered or sit the season out?

questions for Corkran:
4 – Murphy & McGee dealing with hamstring strains. does this open the door for Terrell Owens to be signed and compete for a roster spot, or is it just more reps for youngsters like Calhoun & Streater ??
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:14 am
RR,
We don’t have enough cap room to offer Reece a LT contract, but we do have a Punter with a $5.65 million cap hit. It’s OK, he is the best at what he does. Punting.
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:14 am

5 – in the event McClain is unavailable (jail/suspension) or gets cut, do you think the Raiders would consider adding a MLB in free agency or is the staff pretty high on reserves Goethel & Stupar?
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:18 am
Spent the morning with Tammy Baldwin, who is running for US Senate from Wisconsin. Righteous lady! Tommy Thompson must go down and go down hard!

May 22nd, 2012 at 10:18 am
Punting is underrated. Lechler gives us a consistent 5 to 10 yard field position advantage over other avg punters. That can make all the difference between giving up FG’s or getting punts back to us. It helps the defense pin their ears back and attack the QB with the aid of the crowd noise.
Lechler is money.
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:19 am
Don’t want to throw salt on the wound, but that Laker talk sure is quiet in here 2day.
I tried to warn YOU folks.
Thunder-Heat Finals coming soon.

Here in Phoenix, the scorpions eat the cockroaches. No joke.
Weeds actually are much worse in the winter. In the summer, it’s too hot for them to grow. December comes though, and watch out! Weed city.

Wow Golden State Warriors having a press conference today say they’re moving out of Oakland who’s next?
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:23 am
How about a candid question you know Cork will probably not answer.
Cork, in your subjective opinion, would you cut ties with R. McClain now after all the disappointing play and off-field trouble or do you stick with him and hope Allen/Tarver can turn him around?
Lost cause? yes/no and why. TIA
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:24 am
5 – in the event McClain is unavailable (jail/suspension) or gets cut, do you think the Raiders would consider adding a MLB in free agency or is the staff pretty high on reserves Goethel & Stupar?
I hope that if they do release him we have a solid back up plan. This may be a blessing in disquise for Mclain he might be extra motivated to prove he is not a bust.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
5-10 yards with a bad defense that can’t stop the pass or the run is irrelevant.

Cork will probably not answer any of my questions, either.
Like Jerry – they usually answer the same softball questions over & over again. then field a few personal questions, that have nothing to do with Raider football
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:26 am
Anyways…DMAC, you wouldn’t have known…not even the Thunder knew that we aould give away games 2 and 4…they even said it themselves! I believe the Spurs are a better team, and the Heat won’t make it to the Finals!
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:27 am
Asking Corky questions is such a waste of time IMO. I can guess about everything too if you ask me.

Yeah, kinda hurt that when I asked Cork how the D-Backs looked, he answered they looked “Defensive.” Considering that it is one of the biggest question marks going forward love to hear a real answer.

The Spurs will be a tough opponent, but the Thunder are way more athletic. Who will guard Durantula?
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:29 am
Durant will get his, but the bench is deeper and Westbrook will get cancelled out by Parker!

I don’t understand that.
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:33 am
Durantula is the best player in the league, his team is young and talented, but the Spurs are a great vet team, and they are healthy.
Who cares about the East? Spurs vs OKC = finals IMO.

McIntosh had previously visited the Bears and Dolphins. He would likely back up WLB Erin Henderson and expected first-year starter MLB Jasper Brinkley if he lands in Minnesota.

Manny Ramirez (wrist) went 2-for-2 with a pair of singles and a walk Monday in his return to action with Triple-A Sacramento.
Man-Ram was scratched from Sunday’s lineup with a sore left wrist, but it’s not a major concern. If all goes according to plan, he’ll be added to the Athletics’ roster as soon as his 50-game suspension is up on May 30.

And the Heat, unless Indiana cancels out Boston…that will be a different story!
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:42 am
Make sure someone asks Cork how DMAC is looking at camp? He’s only addressed THAT like a million times. I guess it’s valid since DMAC is always getting injured. Or ask how Pryor is doing. Or one of my overused favorites ask who is gonna be the # 2 QB; Leinart or Pryor?
Or…yet another one that gets asked a million times ask if Cork thinks the Raiders will make the playoffs this yr?
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:42 am
Rocky McIntosh could compete with Wheeler for SLB and fill in for McClain at MLB if need be imo
Aaron Curry = 16 game starter at WLB

Colts released MLB Gary Brackett.
Brackett, 32, had three years and $18.2 million left on his contract, none of which was guaranteed. The Colts are turning the page away from Cover 2 and toward a 3-4 defense. Brackett, a career Colt and former undrafted free agent, missed all but one game in 2011 due to a torn left rotator cuff. He will struggle to find more than a minimum deal on the open market. Brackett was the Colts’ starting middle linebacker for six seasons. He racked up at least 90 tackles five times.

May 22nd, 2012 at 10:44 am
There is a difference between being able to play a position and playing the position well.
McIntoch was not a good fit in 3-4 as ILB, and he is too small/ weak to play MLB in 4-3, and his natural position is WLB in 4-3.

Which ILB position in the 3-4?.. Thats the important question..
He is Kirk Morrison in my book.
If schemed right, he can play the ILB 3-4 and WLB 4-3.

Regardless. The Raiders need a vet LB to help these young kids at LB.
Heck, they needed a vet LB even with McClain onboard.
McK needs to sign EJ Henderson or Rocky McIntosh!
May 22nd, 2012 at 10:58 am
We are good at QB, RB, WR, DT, LB, and S.
We need to add NT, Speedy DE, and a good CB.
I’m not sold on Bartell and Spencer, and I think Chekwa & DVD need more time to learn. Rivers and Manning play in the same division.

He always swings at the pitches he should not be swinging at and then never swings at the pitches he should be swinging at!

Kelly/Ivey are all your getting at NT.
Burnett is your speedy DE.
CB is set. Were not getting anything else unless injury.
The only NEED is POSSIBLY, possibly a RB. And LB depending on what happens with McClain.
IMO.

I almost wonder if Spencer wasn’t brought in more as a “safety net” in case DVD or Chekwa wasn’t ready to take the starting job opposite Bartell.
Bartell, on the other hand, was brought in to start.

They will be so far in debt once they build that overpriced Arena in SF and there won’t be as many consistent sellouts like at Oracle because of the corporate 1% snobby fake fair weather fans won’t go to the games when they keep SUCKING!

McKenzie: Yeah, he has good things, Johnnie Lynn, coached him, he knows him, has coached him, so that was just icing on the cake to me. Getting a guy like that, coming available, too, because he wasn’t a free agent at first, and then he was. Things like that pop up and you’ve got to be ready if you want to add ‘em.

none of the rookies making peanuts would count if they were signed today. Bryant & Reece might count toward it, but we don’t know for sure. We might have more funds than you think? Reggie has cried “broke broke” before and then signed Wheeler & Tollefson.

You guys can’t rely on Inge for anything.
Granted he had a great two weeks, but he has a 10 year career of being pretty $hitty, and not hitting a lick.
I would see if Donaldson can play before wasting 200 AB’s on Brandon Inge.

May 22nd, 2012 at 11:55 am
The A’s have some OF prospect named Taylor (Michael I think??) that my buddy (A’s fan) was wanting to see on Saturday along with Manny.
What a disappointment he was. I am not sure I have seen such a lazy, non-determined OF. He did hit a double off the wall, but he literally jogged after balls and never made any effort other than to collect it and toss it to the cutoff man.
Maybe he was dinged.
May 22nd, 2012 at 11:57 am
He has been a huge disappointment.
