Blew out his arm IIRC. It would have been "routine" shoulder surgery where he would have been out and rehabbing for about a year, then he would have been back to his old self, if he played in today's game.

I know, I just liked the analogy. The best was one day when I was on ESPN, someone drug and copied a post and managed to include their IP adress and couldn't understand why it was such a big deal. Then within 5 minutes someone has his name address phone number and where he worked. He learned the importance of an IP real quick.

So instead of letting just break in and steal the car, you just give him the keys because he is just going to steal it anyway???

What about the guys at the turn of the century who often started 50 or more games and pitched 400 or more innings? Even if you concede they didn't throw as hard that is still a lot of strain on an arm. Obviously they were tougher and more durable. As recently as 20 or 25 years ago stud pitchers would work 300+ innings. What has happened? Why are todays pitchers so fragile? Prior and Pedro couldn't close out a tough 8th inning and because of it their teams are on the outside looking in. As far as Koufax goes, his arthtritis may have been genetic, or brought on by the strain of pitching or a little bit of both. They didn't throw as hard, they didn't have different arm angles, and the didnt have the pitches that do the most damage to the elbow and the shoulder such as the slider, the split fingered fastball, the cutter, the screwball, etc... Pitchers also didn't throw in between starts like they do now, not to mention the fact that there are probably triple the amount of pitchers in MLB that there were at the turn of the century when there were half as many teams, and way less pitchers on a roster. Plus they didn't have the sophisticated arm surgeries that they have now, so that when a pitcher blew out his arm he was done. There was no coming back. So you didn't have injury history's the way you do now. I am sure there are pitchers like Clemens who could throw 350 innings if things were done like they were back in the day.

(Insert any Chicago sports team joke here)

And I have never been so happy to be wrong in my life. Hopefully it works again

Actually the Angels are kind of in the same boat that we are with the Dodgers. They are in the same market, and are the red headed step child of it.

And it never hurts to delete your cookies and temp internet files.

Added arsenic? Come on! He lowered the standards back to pre-Clinton levels, which were perfectly safe. I like how you put that. I guess it goes along with how we want to kill off old people and the homeless and blacks and children, huh? Scare tactics, gotta love 'em. Wait you mean that's all not true? Damn

Now this guy is back peddaling big time. http://www.msnbc.com/news/981170.asp?0cv=CB10

Steve.. I just gotta say that was some fun last night. I was in a pissy mood cause I had been at work for 13 hours AND had to take work home... You got caught in the crossfire Hope there are no hard feelings. No no, that was fun. Ya had me too, I was just trying to keep my head above water for a lil bit there. I hadn't shown a great deal of concentration at the beginning. Ahhh.. lack of concentration. That will get ya every time Stick with me Stevo.. I'll show you all my secrets If you're lucky

:fyou Yankees. Price of the 2003 World Series $180 million, ruining the game of baseball, priceless :fyou

You'd have to be an idiot to start Tony G everyday. He cannot hit RHPing and is below average in the field. That being said, he is a great utility guy, and busts his ass everyday for this club. He never complains and contributes any way he can.

As a motivator the guy is unchallenged IMO. With the Sox talent he would have won 100 games. He needs a stronger bench coach to help him make pitching decesions, because he does not have a clue there.

I hate to say it but the Yankees are going to trash the Marlins in about 5 games.

See ya Wally. Maybe Wally should consider a new agent, as well as a new personality.

WTF do you keep using his real name for? That is extremely ignorant of the other person's feelings and the potential consquenses of putting someone's name out on the internet. Don't be stupid.

It is kind of funny before last election people used to say the same things about Colin Powell, now that people actually know something about him, and he has had a chance to do something he is evil. Funny how things change...

Go find it. Aint gonna happen... For some reason my "Sex, Lies, and Politics" board only goes back 10 pages, and it doesn't have our original Kobe discussions where it was obvious that you felt he was guilty. Are you saying you don't think Kobe is guilty? You aren't doing it right. You have to set your preferences at the bottom. The default is just 30 days, change that to all posts.

9-0 with the Cubs as the biggest choke artists :fthecubs

Didn't Edwards already drop out of the race?

I saw the name of Nick Levya mentioned for the first time today. I don't know if there is anyone besides that.

The Cubs for sure. They had multiple run leads in the late innings of both of the last two games, and blew it.
