Nokona

Cal Ripken anyone?

Zoolander.

I think it might have been a hit and run and Pods just didnt get a jump at all.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:56 PM) And Joe Dimaggio was a monster defender in CF, so that's why I have him in the OF instead of guys like Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds. I'd rather have a pre injury Mantle or that Mays guy...he was supposed to be pretty good in the outfield

GUTS

HOW WAS THIS MAN NOT A CAREER MAJOR LEAGUER. I AM IN LOVE.

QUOTE(Fourofakind @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:06 PM) Dempster also said that Ozzie's kids were on the field fighting.... Ozzie's kids are just as much part of this team as Augustin Montero is, if not more.

Barret sounds like such a b**** in these post game conferences. I love the bruise Brian Anderson's fist left.

Actually Bonds really can get it going if he wants, he just never does. Scored from 2nd a few nights ago and didn't really turn it on til he rounded 3rd .

After all that this might be the most anti-climactic game ever

Brian Anderson will definitely have some pressure taken off his back. Fans will probably let him be for awhile, hopefully he can translate that to his game.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 17, 2006 -> 04:11 PM) Bonds took the base and did nothing. Didn't even look at Springer. Didn't mean it like that. Everyone hates Bonds so much because he's a douche. Springer is being the same scumbag as he is.

Bonds 3 Career ABs against springer. 2001: HR. 2004: HBP. 2005: HBP. Springer's just as much of a douchebag as Bonds for not letting it go.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 9, 2006 -> 10:25 PM) Pierre just stole 714 from Bonds. I dont think it would have been out

Hawk threw me for a fast one today. Saying "Can of Chef Boyardee."

sexy.

Man Jim looked pissed off tonight. Nothing was better than seeing him rope that single in the 9th.

He flipped it backwards and it hit the ump? I dont think it's worth more than 20 games.

HEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack. 2 Run Shot with 2 Outs to tie off Wagner. LCF.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 05:46 PM) Their stud player was a dog on D, real talented, lit me up twice, but just did nothing when the puck wasnt on his stick. Fun game, but I don't think they expected to even have a close game. They did too much talking beforehand and not enough playing. They are however gonna be pretty solid next year if they can find a serviceable goalie. If he was tall, it was Herz. If not, Carc. The scariest thing about that team is that the two best hockey players in the school don't even play. One's busy with Team Illinois and will probably play Juniors next year. The other quit cause he broke his wrist last year or something.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 07:45 PM) That is why eventhough it is not an "official" record, beating Ruth's personal record is so important to baseball players. Ruth is the standard that everyone is compared to, therefore to be able to say you beat Ruth in any category is an accomplishment in itself. Exactly. You ask people who know nothing about baseball who Babe Ruth is they answer "The Great Bambino" "Yankees" etc. You ask that same person who Hank Aaron is and it's highly likely they look at you like your crazy. To me, breaking Ruth's record is just as big as breaking Hank's. Also, that quote that Barry supposedly said about his father is ridiculous. If you watched him play the last 2 months that his father was dying, every day you say it was wearing on him. I don't believe he could say something like that. I just don't see it at all.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) Who you crappin' Barry? THe ONLY reason you are still playing is becaus eyou want to hit more homers. This has NOTHING to do with a World Series. If you were smart, you'd realize that you bearly being able to play is probably hurting the team! you're an idiot. his walk totals alone do more for the team than just about anyone in baseball besides pujols. that team is an absolute joke without him. also, even during the 73 HR season, all Bonds talked about was trying to win it all. I remember him saying something along the lines of "Being able to do this in a playoff race is even more special. I wish McGwire could have been able to do it." The man wants a ring. Can you blame him? It's the only thing he hasn't accomplished at the ML level.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 05:48 PM) Curious, do you know anyone on the Conant hockey team? Cause we knocked them out of the state playoffs. im good friends with just about everyone on the team.

Let's see, I have a Nokona catcher's mitt, a Rawlings catcher and a Wilson fielding.

Iowa City is probably one of the prettiest towns I've ever seen. The vibe of that place is sweet and i can't wait til next fall.
