QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 05:27 PM) Ok...I think you're actually being serious here, so I'm going to respond. He never actually admitted doing anything. He apologized in some pathetic legalese. Then walked away to collect the rest of his $120 million contract. Where is any sign of remorse? Where is him donating $10 million to an anti-steroid cause? Where is he actually sitting down an leveling with the Yankees fans? Where is he actually telling us the full story? Ask this kid, his buddy Jeremy said that he and Jason both took performance enhancing substances but that they are very very sorry and will never ever do it again. pwamis.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 05:13 PM) I wish he didnt get hurt, and I didnt say he was a bust. But that was Grossman-like freakish. The good thing is that his ligament will be stronger when he comes back, but I would be surprised to see it happen to the other leg. Grossman was just running into the endzone with really noone around him, Bradley was avoiding a tackle and wrenched his knee. It wasn't even close to the same play.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) No, I feel the same way. Not to mention he isnt really thinking about his family, when he can get popped and do some more damage, even end his life. The risk seems to be MUCH greater than the reward. What does Bruschi have left to do in the game? He has won 3 out of the last 4 superbowls, been an MVP, made his money, and is credited for being one of the smartest players in the league. What does he have to prove? Exactly. The man had a STROKE, a god damn stroke from a hole in his heart and for some ridiculous reason he has decided to go back to work only a few months later. His job entales him to run around slamming his head into people, the chances of him having serious long term health problems from this are just way too high. ESPN really shouldn't be calling him a hero.

QUOTE(joeynach @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) Your are right that is the biggest joke I have ever seen. Obviously whoever votes didn't even slightly do their homework. Not only did Hunter only play 93 games, but he didn't even have the highest Fielding % at his position in those games, had a .987%, ROWAND HAD A .992%. What a disrespectful slap in the face and sox fans, rowand, ozzie, and the sox brass should take it personal. No, no it's not. And Fielding% isn't a very good stat for an OFer.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) Get used to it. This is going to be ESPN's feelgood story of the next 5 years. Am I the only one who thinks he's selfish for comming back after he said he wanted to spend more time with his family?

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:59 PM) Teddy Bruschi I'm so sick of hearing that name.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) I wasn't sure if he really hadn't tested positive, but just admitted usage. Yeah, he just admitted that he took some s*** that he got from Balco during his grand jury testimony. He never actually tested positive.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) You should've stopped while you were ahead... Reed makes some great plays out there in CF and probably would be in my top ten in GG caliber OFers. Kotsay and Rowand had better years than Hunter and Reed though.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:48 PM) If that seriously happened, the voters should be ashamed of themselves. It did and the Players and Managers are the voters.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) Was there an actual skit, or just Pods on Weekend Update? Did I turn it off and go to sleep too soon? It was just Weekend Update.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:44 PM) I'll give you that...Varitek winning a Gold Glove has pretty much locked down the fact that the Gold Glove award means about as much as a Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Award Actually, Raffy Palmeiro winning a GG at 1B in '99 after playing only 28 games at that position was the official death of the Gold Glove Award.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) How many errors did Eric Chavez make? 15. Crede made 10. Crede should get that Gold Glove. Also Buehrle is a much better fielder than Rogers. Hunter didn't even play in 100 games this year. What BULLs***! Not really.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) I'm pretty sure this is true. He admitted he took them - if you believe the GJ leak (I do)- but never tested positive that I read. That was the only bit of sincerity I used in that post.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) You know how to use green right?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) Michigan got robbed. They should have had 3 gold gloves, AT LEAST. How the f*** didn't Jason Avant get one?

He is a class act. I mean he may have taken an illegal substance and disgraced the game, his team and the fans but hell he came clean and now we know with 110% certainty that he's putting up his current numbers steroid free. Oh yeah, he never actually tested positive. Jason Giambi, a true hero.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) Aaron deserves one but there is no point in being upset considering this award has seriously become a joke. I'm still going to update my sig, even though I'm really not upset.

Kurkjian agrees that Aaron Rowand fans (me), have a right to be upset and I agree. Yet I'm really not upset.

I don't see how NBC can run radio spots promoting the show "Earl" with the main hook being; "if you watch Earl you'll get to see Jaime Presely in a bikini!" when a majority of the population has already seen her naked numerous times.

QUOTE(HighHeat45 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) Jeter and Varitek are the only ones who made the playoffs, and they were both eliminated in the first round. All these good fielders are on crappy teams. The Gold Glove award is for the best fielders in the league, not for the best fielders on the best teams in the league.

I missed C, OF and P

I got Tex right.

Hudson, Wells snag gold gloves.

QUOTE(rventura23 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) Orlando Hudson and Vernon Wells won according to Toronto News 3 down, 6 to go.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) I'd love to see Ozzie and the trophy pictured with Chavez, politics aside it'd be great for baseball and great for our team. There's a whole new country filled with potential fans or even potential future players. I wouldn't mind Jose and Duque getting a parade around Cuba either, but something tells me they'd be arrested. No matter how much I dislike Bush...I'd still enjoy seeing that team on the lawn. That was one Hell of a team. Exactly, politics aside you have to want to see your team in the White House, it's just an extreme honor.
