I refused to talk about James Harden during my latest podcast, but was more than happy to wax philosophical about everything else.

On Monday evening, I joined the dudes at RotoExperts for some serious hoops chat. As always, it was a lively discussion, and as always, Hedo Turkoglu was front and centre in the discussions (Tom has an obvious man-crash on him).

Among the topics covered: who should you take with pick No. 4, Dwight Howard drafting strategy in H2H vs. roto leagues; the comebacks of Gilbert Arenas and Kevin Garnett; and the latest on Blake Griffin and his injuries plus crappy FT shooting.

Check out the podcast below; I come in around the seven-minute mark.

Podcast: Can the BoSox Hang on? http://www.rotorob.com/2009/09/05/podcast-can-the-bosox-hang-on/ http://www.rotorob.com/2009/09/05/podcast-can-the-bosox-hang-on/#comments Sun, 06 Sep 2009 01:21:13 +0000 RotoRob http://www.rotorob.com/?p=6586 Alex Reimer Show on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, and this week the focus on the discussion centred on the playoff aspirations of the Boston Red Sox.]]> Michael Young will be missing in action for the Texan Rangers for the next couple of weeks.
Even with Michael Young hurt, the Rangers have been staying in the playoff hunt.

On Saturday afternoon, I was back for yet another appearance on the Alex Reimer Show on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, and this week the focus of the discussion centred on the playoff aspirations of the Boston Red Sox.

Can the back end of their rotation hold up for another month? Will the real Josh Beckett resurface? Can the Sox hold off a hard-charging Ranger squad?

Alex and I mulled these questions, while also examining what the White Sox have been thinking, if the Jim Thome to the Dodgers and Jason Giambi to Colorado moves will pay off, and the general lack of juicy Wild Card races this season.

My portion comes in around the 19:30 mark.

Their annual purge is well underway, as the Pirates have already dealt Nate McLouth among others.

I appeared on the Alex Reimer Show on WBNW 1120 AM in Boston on Saturday afternoon, discussing many of the key first half stories.

Alex and I talked about how the economic downfall has affected baseball, parity in the game and how that may dim the trade market and how steroids continues to be a major issue in the game today.
