MLB Draft Order: Sox draw 18th
Borchard was taken 11th -- The sox won 75 games in 99 -- I put "bad" in quotes cuz on the Northside that would be considered a success -- but that is a bad team by our standards -- 89 was the last full season where we had less than 75 wins.

Coach of the Year
Agreed -- The kid is no doubt a whiner, not a winner. And the only thing his mother taught him, by coming ot his rescue and going to school board and media, is that he is being rewarded for whining and should continue to do it. Kids like this who were on my teams recieved all kinds of "awards" behind the scenes. They got it until they figured out that thier mommy is not there to help them --

The show was original, witty, and funny for almost 2 full years. The writers stopped writing original material in 97. I haven't watched since.

The whole game both teams have failed to capitalize on tons of opportunities -- It was only a matter of time before someone actually broke through.
