Rob Neyer: Babe Ruth the Best Ballplayer Ever
Man, i wish players like Oscar Charleston and Josh Gibson could have been in the bigs, or atleast had records kept. Oscar may have been the greatest player ever, Buck O'Neil talks about him in ASB 04. He says he had Babe's Power, Willie's Speed and Defense, and Cobb's baserunning ability. Phew that would have been devastating. I always felt that Willie was a better ball player then Babe. He was the package. The 5 tool player teams have wet dreams about night after night. Except Willie made 5 tool. Willie could throw the ball 400 feet and get people out tagging up at home. He was known to tag up on infield flies and beat the throw. He hit 660 homers, which back then was Ruthian and he hit 660 homers off pitchers like Bob Gibson. The Babe never had to face Satchel Paige, he never had to face any Latino pitcher. Willie took on the best of the best of that era. Babe took on the best of the white.

Baseball Season
Tryouts start the 1st, we've been conditioning since first week of January. I'll probably be on the Soph team and we should own. Broke all the records for the combined a/b freshman team record since the 60s. Our V team on the other hand...ew But we do have 2 kids throwing 85+

Not that it matters, but Magglio isn't hitting...
Does anyone know if Mags is doing the same training he did w/ Arod last year? If so, then he'll probably hit like .100 the entire winter year, that was one damn strenuous off season.

Bears Hire Shea as their new OC
This is how you throw the WR Screen. You will only need to know this skill, because its the only play that will gain us a yard. Poor Chris.

For what it's worth
I hope he can come around and at least stay in the show for a full year. He deserves it.

No Colts-Chiefs talk?
When he brought everyone up to the line and then walked around the entire field and chatted with everyone i laughed so hard. what a badass. Peyton is one of the best QBs there are out there.

Hot Stove Report from MLB.com
Wow. We make this trade and the entire off season may flip. Pitching wins ball games folks, and championships. That's gotta be one of the best 3 in the AL easily one of the best 4 in the MLB in my mind.

Boone could play 2nd and Short also if we got him.

Bears thread
It made it over by about 2 feet. I didn't watch all of the game, but the only thing i saw Rex do wrong was the "almost" fumble when Trotter hit him and his arm just went striaght down like a pass into the ground.
