Cleveland Cavaliers Guard [LeBron James] didn't make us wait for his response to Charles Barkley's comments on TNT's NBA Radio Show. Barkley's comments were as follows.
"If I was LeBron James, I would shut the hell up," the Hall of Famer said on Patrick's show. "I'm a big LeBron fan. He's a stud. You gotta give him his props. I'm getting so annoyed he's talking about what he's going to do in two years. I think it's disrespectful to the game. I think it's disrespectful to the Cavaliers."
James responded quickly and briefly before his game Friday night by saying "He's stupid. That's all I've got to say about that."

Jake Peavy on the move? To Chicago?
San Diego Padres starting pitcher, Jake Peavy, has been a hot topic this offseason throughout Major League Baseball(MLB). Peavy has compiled a list of teams that he wishes to be be traded to. One of those teams is the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs, who already have a strong starting pitching staff, aren't putting a halt to the transactions.
Adding Peavy to their pitching staff would give them arguably the best starting pitching staff in the MLB which would consist of Carlos Zambrano, Rich Harden, Jake Peavy, Ryan Dempster, and Ted Lilly. Lilly, arguably the weakest link in that "would be" rotation posted a 17-9 record and a 4.09 ERA last season.
The Cubs and Padres haven't confirmed it yet, but his deal has been reported to have been very close to being completed. Peavy who is coming off a 10-11 season with a 2.85 ERA is probably not going to be easy to get with those numbers however the 10-11 record is alot better than it sounds when adding in how little support he got from his Padre pen.

Yankees To Bite On Manny?
New York Yankees part-owner Hank Steinbrenner has reportedly announced that they have right handed slugger Manny Ramirez on their radar this offseason. Even after acquiring right fielder Xaiver Nady this past season, the Yanks aren't ready to stop the spending just yet. Ramirez hit .332 with 37 homeruns with 121 RBI's last season.
According to Steinbrenner, the Yankees are examining all options to help make the Yankee team better.
The Yankees already have a chunk of money set aside to offer to either CC Sabathia or AJ Burnett that if worse comes to worse could be sent to Ramirez.
Although the Yankees are in need of pitching, they have historically been a team devoted to having a high powered offense.
Yes having Ramirez on your team will force you to put up with his sideshow, but the Yankees feel that putting up with the sideshow will get you offensive production and will give you great amounts of protection for Alex Rodriguez in your lineup which will only lead to greater amounts of production from both Ramirez and Rodriguez.
