ACtually if you remember right Alex was kept totally out of the process until the end of it. Scott Boras is the one who got ARod the contract. He is also the one who had Texas bid up the contract that last $50 mil.

I will be the first to admit, I didn't think the old man had it in him anymore. I thought it was a big mistake to go out and decide to be a power hitter, but it really seemed to have focused him in on the prize, and he has been invaluable for the last month or month and a half.

Almost all of the Twins pitching staff had career years, all at the sametime. I have to keep repeating this, but the 2002 Twins were an MLB inspired fluke.

Good to have you back!

Not to mention a huge homer today to show the offense that scoring is possible!!!

No 1-0 ELo shutout here!!!!

This is where JM fails as a manager. If the team isn't motivated for these teams, it is his job to get them motivated.

So what is the alternative? Use your bullpen and have zero chance at the playoffs? The Cubs are in a no win situation.

You forgot to insert the word "boy" OK then, how about this one... How do you piss off Helen Keller? Leave the pluger in the toilet.

Busch stadium is WAYYY overrated IMO also. It sucks, it is just a cookie cutter, with really bad food, and worse beer.

What is the difference between acne and a priest... Acne waits til they are 13 to come all over their face.

And incidentally, which team was willing to file a bunch of false positives in order to make drug testing manditory...

How much fewer HR's are being hit this year? Both of the league leaders are at 39 HRs. I am thinking the whole drug testing thing might be proving that steroids were pretty rampant just like Caminitti and others have said.

So is there as many college hoops fans as football?? I love the NCAA hoops.

If it is the difference between losing Backman and keeping him, then keep him on as a coach somewhere in the major's to hide him as long as possible. But I just think he is priceless to our minor league system.

I thought they weren't going to release his name.

Exactly why I went out last night. Too much predictable irrational anger in here...

Is this against the spreads or straight up?
