hey just wondering, no bad things to say about you guys right now, what is krolik up to? is he going to start writing articles again, or did he leave the blog?
Haha, thanks man. He’s coming back. He’s in Europe right now, but will be making his triumphant return soon.
I like this a lot. So how do you fit in writing for the blog with playing for the Brewers?
Thanks Dani!
I had it worked into my contract. I get a week to write for every NL All-Star berth.
I’m really he pans out to be as good as our scouts think he is. It’s a big deal to be picked #4 overall (it’s not just a number). Sporting news did a pick by pick analysis and this is what they said about TT:
4. Cleveland: PF TRISTAN THOMPSON, 6-8, 225, Texas, Soph.
Seriously? Tristan Thompson? Did somebody let Danny Ferry back into the draft room? Good gracious, where do we start with this? Underskilled, undersized, underdeveloped. He played a full college season and only once topped 25 points and only 10 times got into double figures as a rebounder. Sorry, but a big man who is worthy of the No. 4 pick in the draft should make that a habit.
Owner Dan Gilbert wants LeBron to say he’s sorry? Only if he goes first and apologizes for this pick.

I’m not anti-TT, I just hope that we don’t look a JV after his rookie year and feel regret.
I am praying that tristan is good i truly am and I have enjoyed all of the things that have been posted as of late go cavs!
Thanks guys!
I’m really pulling for him now too. That Sporting News pick by pick is brutal! I was one of the many who flipped out when Tristan was drafted…but the more I read about him the more optimistic I am, mainly just because he seems like a worker. If he can be groomed as Kyrie’s “Andy,” then I think that’s a major win, even as the 4th pick in the draft.
That, and yesterday, he officially won me over completely by tweeting the above picture!

I’m kind of a fan for life now.
That’s kinda cool that he took the time to respond. I’m still not a fan yet, but I like that he did that.
