AC Milan’s VP knew they’d lose

Brooks Peck — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:58:44 +0000

While most members of AC Milan held out hope that they could go to Old Trafford and overcome the hole they fell into during the first leg of their Champions League tie with Manchester United, the club's vice president, Adriano Galliani, knew a day in advance that they had no hope. Said the Kojak-looking Debbie Downer after his side got eliminated:

“I knew it was going to go badly yesterday afternoon. We had taken Alexandre Pato, Alessandro Nesta and Luca Antonini in the squad, but all three of them pulled out with injuries on Tuesday.
“Without such important players and taking on a Manchester United side of such quality, it was always going to be extremely difficult.
“I don't think it will affect our Serie A form. Leonardo already did very well in the locker room to reassure the players.”

Yeah, and I'm sure hearing you tell the press how hopeless they are after suffering a few injuries that confidence Leonardo propped up will be flying high.

Galliani went on to ramble about feline AIDS and how everyone dies alone in the end.

Tigers manager is still uncertain who his fourth and fifth starter will be on Opening Day, Mlive.com reports. It's going to be pretty hairy, I can tell you that, Leyland said. It makes you wake up at night a little. There's a lot at stake here, and there's a lot at stake for individuals. It's safe to say that at the end of spring training, somebody is going to be very happy. And you are going to have some disappointed people. acronym title=More Information at the source[...]/acronym br /br /a style=font-size: 11px; href=http://www.fantasysp.com/mlb_player_news/Jeremy_Bonderman/Read more Jeremy Bonderman news/a

Ryan Hollins / Hollins suspended for two games

Hollins punched Stevenson while boxing him out on a free throw in the second quarter. He then struck Nowitzki in the head with his left forearm late in the fourth quarter, drawing a Flagrant-2 foul and an ejection. Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis said before the game on Wednesday night against Denver that he didn't believe either act had malicious intent. It's just not the kind of player or person that Ryan is, Rambis said. He wants to play hard. He is trying to do the physical things that we're asking him to do. Any time there is physical play out there, there's going to be a certain amount of aggression level that increases. After the game, Nowitzki called Hollins a little out of control, but that's part of the game. acronym title=More Information at the source[...]/acronym br /br /a style=font-size: 11px; href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Ryan_Hollins/Read more Ryan Hollins news/a

Rafer Alston / Alston situation takes another turn

FantasySP / ALL / Player News — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:56:15 +0000

News: a href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Rafer_Alston/a href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Rafer_Alston/a href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Rafer_Alston/a href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Rafer_Alston/Rafer Alston/a/a/a/a's absence from the Miami Heat took another turn Wednesday, with the team denying that the embattled point guard was told shortly before his sudden departure he would no longer get playing time. Alston was quoted by ESPN.com saying that he chose to leave because of a personal issue involving a family member, plus said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told him that he wouldn't be playing any more. On Wednesday, Spoelstra - who, like the rest of the Heat organization, said he still has not heard from Alston since a text-message exchange last week - denied Alston was told that his minutes were gone, saying only that the 11th-year guard was informed before Miami's game against the Los Angeles Lakers last Thursday that a href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Carlos_Arroyo/a href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Carlos_Arroyo/a href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Carlos_Arroyo/a href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Carlos_Arroyo/Carlos Arroyo/a/a/a/a was taking over the starting job. Actually, he probably still would have been in the rotation, Spoelstra said. Probably not with the minutes he would have liked, and I also told him that the way the year's been going, that it's still up for grabs. I've had those conversations with everybody in the locker room. It's about production right now. Spoelstra said he was aware of the comments attributed to Alston. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, Spoelstra said. But we still have not talked to him, so our stance is the same. ... I think we're all curious just to find out more. acronym title=More Information at the source[...]/acronym br /br /a style=font-size: 11px; href=http://www.fantasysp.com/nba_player_news/Rafer_Alston/Read more Rafer Alston news/a
