Yea, well despite what Jay Mariotti says, hyperbole is not the way.

"He also spoke how it was difficult to be involed with removing the Comiskey name from the Park." You sound like this guys PR agent. He was the happiest man in the ballpark? Maybe the richest--wait, check that--probably not. The rich aren't heroes. I'm glad he bought the naming rights so we could afford some stadium upgrades, but I'm not going to deify the man.

I have no problem with bashing the national media for being ignoramus'. It's just with Mariotti around here, it's hard to find the time. Whats wrong with wanting a little respect? I mean, I just read this terrible, poorly researched article by Skip Bayless (who is a complete idiot, I hardly ever bother to read him) and it makes me want to puke all over him. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...=bayless/051020 The article says that Ozzie found "Bobby Jenks, who was the closer he lacked." Um right, I'm pretty sure Hermie was on the team at that point. He could be referring to Hermie's bad back, but I doubt it. His back was only an issue for 2 weeks or so, and by that time Ozzie seemed to have gone to closer by committee, then finally Jenks. He goes on to say that the turnaround to World Series after the near collapse was "the most shockingly unexpected 180-degree turn I can remember in sports." Perhaps he didn't watch Red Sox/Yankees last year? I think we have the right as fans to call the media out when they are writing or talking out their ass.

Who cares, the more s*** Ozzie talks, the less the players have to talk. He's a genius in his own way, making all the news while his players go about their business. He's a Pennant Winner on a team that was almost universely thought to be mediocre, let him talk s***.

Come on guys, batgirl is hilarious. Hate the fan, don't hate the person and writing.

Freddy always scares me on the mound. I'm not sure why. He just seems so...wild some times. But, like usual, he proves my fears irelevent and goes the distance with a great performance. It didn't look like he had his best stuff, but the way the Angles are swinging, it was more than enough for a dominating performance. I tip my hat to the man for staying focused throughout the game.

The last two nights have been surreal, because after the 3-0 lead, it just seems like the other innings are just academic. I haven't been stressed out like I was in the first two nailbiters.

"We're gonna regret not scoring that run from 3rd." that should be in green, shouldn't it?

a double play is NEVER a given...

It's not a "poor" play. Christ, give it up. Its not a good play, just average, so what, freddy worked around it, like a good pitcher should.

I've seen that called 90 percent of the time in my experience. Hell, I've seen a guy make a swipe and be a foot off and get it. Oh well, I always disagreed with that interpretation anyways. The rules says touch the damn bag, so touch it.

HAHAHAHAHAH BRING IN VIZ, AND LET MARTE GET THE 9TH! GOOD JOB CREDE

screw it, AJ has done enough this game

nice hit rowand, finally

Where is the guy that said write off tonight as a loss, since "santana is unhittable". LOL

Even if they somehow come back to win tonight, the Angels have screwed their bullpen for tommorow. Of course, the'll be even more screwed down 3-1.

Blame the umps all they want, we hopped on them 3-0 again. I wonder what baseball prospectus says the "win percentage" is after that... I bet it's in the 80%

I now, viz warming

If the runner beats the ball the ump will call save 90% of the time, thats just baseball.

Screw Marte, he had his chances to earn playing time, no way he comes in unless its a laugher--like a 8 run laugher.

"If you're not coming at a hitter with the first three pitches to dictate the count, what are you doing? You're either gonna suffer a slow death, or maybe you'll survive. You're not looking for either one of those outcomes. You're looking to dominate. So let's go. Let's get after them." ESPN

"Write off tomorrow as a loss; Santana is unhittable." Uh, yea, this is the 'tude...

Yep, I consider myself the articulate sports fan, and Kornheiser and Wilbon deliver good analysis in the very varied world of sports opinion. Although Kornheiser is often times "off the hook", Wilbon reels him in often enough. PTI is better than 90% of sports TV out there.

I think Wilbon is pretty cool actually. I enjoy how he hopped on the "baby bulls" bandwagon way before anyone else believed in them--well I did and so did everyone over at Realgm (great Site and Bulls board at: www.realgm.com), but he's always said he's a Cubs fan. If Cubs fans want to sell their soul and hop on the bandwagon, let them.

Yea, good points guys. I love to laugh at myself, especially on the internet lol. Yea, I'm obviously a little to into this beer tonight to make any sort of stories. I just feel so isolated up here in nowheresville. Give me the Red Line and the magnifecent mile and that overpriced french caffe I always go to anyday over this hickville. Still you read it!
