QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) You'd be surprised, he has a lot of friends who have a vote. Albert's not bad at all.. actually the total opposite of the way the media portrayed him. I think he'll get it. I don't think he'll be a first ballot HOFamer...I don't know, it'll be close and depend on who else is eligible.

Hitter Division: Gary Sheffield. Holy crap, have you seen the arms on that guy? Plus, with that crazy batting stance of his, he'd pop me on the head a couple of times and then whack me in the stomach. Pitcher Division: El Duque. Cuz he'd come at me from all sort of arm angles. Wouldn't know what to block first.

QUOTE(SAVVY18 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) I wanna say it was 1984. First up was Luzinski...He cranks a ROOF SHOT and the place is going nuts. Next up is Kittle....ROOF SHOT. Now it's insane in there. Paciorek comes up and cranks a regular homer out to center. Back to Back to Back homers. Are you sure it was Luzinski and Kittle? I seem to remember something where I saw 4 roofshots in a day. Mark McGwire hit one in a pre-game exhibition with Team USA, then Luzinski and I thought Fisk for the Sox and then Darrell Jones (?) with Detroit hit one over the RF roof. Does anyone have a list of all the roofshots?

He was still playing?

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) It's tough with family... they sometimes feel they are entitled to yap just because someone in your family married someone in their family. I deal with that a lot. I just laugh. What else can ya do.. If it was my family, I woulda probably said something, but since I was a guest, we left. I can't believe it's 2005 and people are still like that. I mean, c'mon people, if we can question the Constitution which is only 230 years old, can't we question the bible, which is YEARS OLDER?

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) I've found that most people that don't know someone, other than socially, are quick to be ignorant about things that don't concern them.. I was ready to haul off and crack her one. And perhaps I should have.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) Sadly, they've just moved on to other targets. Oh, NO!!! our kids schools teaching (*gasp!*) tolerance and respect!?! The old guy gets it. Why can't the rest of the UberChristian homophobes? Oh, yeah, because they're UberChristian homophobes. I admit my copy of the Good Book is a little dusty. Can somebody please point me to that "Blessed are the Hatemongers" verse? Being a Jew, I've never read the New Testament, because, well, the sequel is never as good as the original...BUT, I thought Jesus was supposed to love everyone? A little story, a friend of mine recently had a couples shower. Her family is very religious, although she's not. Anyway, the shower was in March. My fiancee and I were asked if we set a date. We said no, but we want to do it the first or second week of April. The bride's sister-in-law chirps immediately, "Y'know, you can't get married during lent because you can't have music or flowers in a Catholic Church during lent." Immediately, the hairs on the back of both of our necks stood on end and I could feel the blood boiling. As said before, I'm Jewish...and my fiancee is Lutheran, but was brought up in a Protestant family (Her stepfather is a Congregationalist minister). So, not only did she ASSUME we were getting married in a Catholic Church, she ASSUMED we were both Catholic. Then, when she was talking to her sister-in-law about going to church, she says, "You're not going to go to that church by your house, are you? What is it San Jose Church, with all the Mexicans?" At that point, I look over at my fiancee and give her the, "If we don't leave now, I think we may have to skip the wedding because I'm going to stick my foot right up her pseudo-righteous ass" look. I couldn't believe that a self professed "Good Catholic" could spew that sort of crap out of her mouth...at least not without that nights meal.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) So if my neighbors across the street are black, it's OK if I burn a cross on my lawn? What if you were protesting the fact that the Catholic Church won't allow women to become priests and burned a cross on your front lawn with a black family across the street? What I'm saying is, if you burn a cross on the black family's lawn, that's pretty blatantly a hate crime, if you do it on your lawn, it would be nearly impossible to prove you were doing it as a hate crime, you could say anything and probably be let off, except for fire codes.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) Schmidt's is having a weak year & has never pitched regularly against AL lineups. Lilly is proven success in that dept. Schmidt is still a health risk & a question mark. Just look at Pavano & Johnson for how hard it is for fireballers to make the transition. Chemistry wise Lilly will do whatever is asked of him because he's done that his whole career. He's not a big headed ego. Schmidt has been a #1 for most of his career. I don't know how he will sit as #4/#5 nor how he'll take to sharing the spot with El Duque. If we are more concerned about chemistry than fortifying weakness Lilly is a far lower risk in that dept. As Jon Garland said, #1 starter only means something once a year. After that, you go out every 5 days and pitch. (as a hijacked sidenote) I do like the idea of getting JT Snow, though.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) Name that starter. I was saying a Schmidt or an Oswalt or a Clemens. Anything less should probably go to the 'pen. BTW...not saying we have a chance on anyone of those guys.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) We need an arm in the pen, that's priority #1. Unless there is a super-duper star ace starter available....and I don't see that out there. Get a top line starter and El Duque goes to the pen. Sounds like killing two birds with one stone to me.

I can't remember where I heard this...I think it was on Sunday night Baseball? anyway, they were talking about Ozzie's big mouth. But, what they were saying is...the media asks him a question, and he answers it. Honestly answers it. You could ask him anything and he'll give you an answer, he doesn't beat around the bush or give the company line. Plus, he's one helluva interview. If you don't come out pissing your pants, you must've had your funnybone removed. Why is this important? Well, the media appreciates that and starts to protect him when he goes on some of his tirades. This is local media only right now. Dusty, on the other hand, is surly. And after the Stoney incident last year, that really turned the media off. Ozzie says a lot of dumb stuff, that's for sure, but the local media, beat reporters in particular (except for that one jackass that I can't think of right now) really like him and tend to protect him.

QUOTE(Fotop @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) Funny but true. But hey, he can recruit right? Well then I guess that's all that matters. Of course, Halsey wasn't Zook's recruit. Nor has he played a down for him yet. So, yeah, let's blame Zook.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 10:37 PM) bout time, they go from a solid team to horrible in about two years, they are pretty set on who they are going to pick for the draft (bogut) so why not fire him a couple weeks before the draft, had to happen sooner or later I'm not so sure on them picking Bogut. I think you may have a Marvin Williams sighting in Milwaukee.
