Punch and Judy Garland

at least he didn't pop out i guess

yeah but perez has leather. THat's still the primary job of the shortstop-even in the Nomar-A-Rod-tejada era

is that chip? Dear god A few other Chips staples: You can run on Grieve all day long (two weeks before they traded for him) The gullywasher clip they play on Critics at Xtra.. What happened to Steve Finley? He's been a whirling Dervish at the plate

light crowd tonight, must be the friday combo with the great pitching matchups on. For guys not watching, Mulder-Hudson flopped as its 4-4 and Maddux-Clemens was 1-0 Stros after 1 but the real story is Halladay vs. The Unit where its 0-0 after 5

Willie over an extended amount of tiem at ss would be non-good but if its just a week ro so then it's not really worth complaining about. We've hammered Nate lifetime so hopefully the Count just keeps them to 4 or less tonight

Depaul-Dayton was prety embarrassing but not as embarrassing as sayin it was better than Illiniois-Arizona. Anyways, how about "The slipper still fits" from Gus Johnson for GOnzaga. Gus is a quote machine. Also, I;m surprised nobody metnioned it but i guess maybe since it was before the play. The best ever: "Will the dream die here for Duke?"

I''m hoping we nab a Boras guy who falls. THere are many in the first round in addition to Drew and Weaver. It's nto rerribly realistic but there will be great talent on the board at 15

Don't sweat the ridicule. that's kind of page 2 and Neel's thing. Don't take it to heart

WIth Weaver and Drew and 8 other Boras guys in round one, there will be a great player that slides to 15 but I don't think we bite

News channels do not practice journalism, just punditry. I didn't think I like Joe but I saw him in a idffernt element on Bill maher and I liked him a bit. He came off more relaxed and less smug. Seemed fairly likeable. I have no idea why Fox uses Geraldo or Greta as I'm sure they could do just as well with other people

"Oh my goodness, he's done it again!" Berman on the Ripken homer during the streak breaker. After the strike, this was a special night and the homer added a lot to it.

Also didn;t realize it was Halladay vs. The Big Unit. Three great pitching matchups. Pretty unbelievable.

Peavy actually had a 2.33 era on the road last year which is amazing. Considering there is Colorado and Arizona as visitng ballparks int he division-that's not too bad. When I heard that Sutcliffe said he wouldn't trade Peavy for any player in baseball I thought he was exaggerating but I might take him over any pitcher if I started a team. Even maybe Santanamania.

I will be in the vast minorty around these parts but I think I'll pass on the Sox game Friday to watch this dream match.

I'd guess it's 18,000 or so. Too cold, rainy, crappy and early in the year

My bad, I forgot we are home again.

nobody said you have to feel sorry for them-you shouldn't. But they aren't circus animals either and they deserve a day off once in awhile.

yeah but you don't have a bunch of dickheads criticizing you on a message board

It's non tbs. Not all friday night games have been which is weird because last year they made a big deal about Friday Night Extra where they'd have a guy like Dale Murphy or Killebrew sit int he booth all night. It was kind if cool. Looks like it may be back. I think the over/under on runs scored while Mulder and Hudson pitch is 3 and I'd take the under.

Ugh. Weren't those 1-0 Esty losses there? I think part of our problem is that Comerica is tought ot jack homers out of so maybe this team will do better with the gapes there, although Maggs and Frank were great gap hitters so it's hard to say. Definitely no Jurassic in the OF allowed

Wait I thought we don't like John Donovan. Which guy do we hate? Do we hate Eurasia or Eastasia?

Inge was garbage before last year but he's a fairly safe bet. He hit 280 over a full year so he should still hit decent the rest of the way and he's young enough to expect a better eyar htis year than last. He's probably going to put up numbers very similar to Jack Wilson's last year

I am beginning to think that the Giants won't win more than 70 games this year. Things appear to be going very badly there and they are primed to flop. Herges will get you saves as long as he has the job but is a detriment to your whip and era

I have Inge. You have to love the position elgibility. He saves you fgrom ever scouring the wire for a catcher if yours gets hurt.

I can't see how they ban them when guys are wearing them in BP but not in games
