You can't play this video. But you could if you had an MLB.TV subscription.
Game on!
Before we get into who’s hurt and who’s hot in hoops, I’ve got another baseball-related opening. (Get used to that.) This week, I’m going to get you ready for the upcoming MLB season by sharing my personal viewing experiences with you. I used to follow all the games with the MLB EXTRA INNINGS® package on DIRECTV, which now runs $199.96. But I’ve since canceled my subscription. There’s a better (and cheaper) way to watch baseball.

Gooden drew a lot of interest in this week's chat.
Nice turnout in the chat room on Monday. LOTS of questions about Drew Gooden, Taj Gibson and, as always, Darren Collison. Plus, one chatter gets sassy with Si. There’s even a throwback Terry Mills coparison. So get the haps on hoops for Week 20 of the fantasy season in this week’s chat wrap.

Owners love A-Rod's consistency almost as much as he loves himself.
Position Scarcity: 3
You’re wading into the ocean. Five steps in, the water’s only up to your knees. Ten steps in, it’s just up to your waist. Then, a few more step in, you’re suddenly in over your head. That’s what the third base position is like this season. It’s solid and steady early, then you hit a major drop-off. So get a stud early or risk drowning at the hot corner with a questionable player.

"Guys, I think this hand is busted."
Unpleasant Spur-prise!
By Si Korot, Senior Contributing Writer
San Antonio guard Tony Parker broke the fourth metacarpal in his hand and could miss six weeks. Having done that myself twice, I can say with knowledge that this is not a fast-healing injury and his season is pretty much over. CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF HUSTLE POINTS!

You’re Only as Good as Your Name

Think long and hard before you fill out this field.
Got your weekly fix of hoops facts a few mouse scrolls down, as always. The intro, though, is for those jonesing for the first pitch of baseball season. March is the month of fantasy baseball drafts. Of course, to participate in your drafts, you need one thing. No, not a fantasy mag. You need a team name. Now, a fantasy team name is not something to be taken lightly. Your name is your badge of honor. You need to choose a moniker that intimidates, taunts, or at the very least, amuses your leaguemates. I’m still trying to top my all-time favorite team name, created by my buddy Fybel: “Wrath and/or Fury.” It’s simple, yet effective. Intimidating, yet amusing. If you can work in all of those qualities, you deserve bonus points. There are also plenty of don’ts to keep in mind. I’ll give you a quick rundown of what not to do when you’re thinking up options for this year’s squads: CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THE GEEKLY UPDATE!

Hawes is gonna be "Hawesome" this week!
Si came strong for the first half hour of the chat, then The Geek brought it home. There were questions about Gooden, Gibson and Gordon. Injury queries about Monta, D-Rose, Brand and Pierce. There were even a few keeper questions. Check out what went down in this week Hoops Help Live Chat by clicking the link below:
