If there are there any teams in the MLB that are: A.) Really, really bad B.) Deep in the bullpen C.) Really, really bad. then KW needs to talk to them. Soon.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) I hope that KW has the plane ready for Boone Logan. See you when you can throw strikes and cover first base. Seriously, he needs to talk to Politte and Buehrle about that. They ALWAYs get to 1st base.

Crede has more errors than Uribe? Wow. Oh, by the way, Cocoa Krispies are the s***.

QUOTE(bmags @ May 16, 2006 -> 01:30 AM) please tell me you are joking... No. No I am not joking. Why do you ask. Jackass.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:11 PM) Did you expect them to go 120-40? Its going to happen, glad its now and not in September. (BTW, I dont even think there in a funk. They got owned by the Cy Young winner, Saturdays game was just f***ed up, and tonight was a bad matchup on a few levels.) Yes, yes I did. But seriously, it seems as if their lacking that approach at the plate that they had in April. Of course their going to lose some games and of course there will be some losing streaks but as of right now, I think our bullpen just needs a lift. Whether its Nelson, Montero, Hermanson, Nomo...I don't care, we just need to get people out. I'm not panicking, I'm not jumping off any cliffs but the bullpen is starting to worry me just a bit. Once Contreras is back, I will feel better.

This is frustrating. The team is in a mini-funk.

Basically, I just really wanted to read the book before the movie came out. I had it laying around and finally decided to read it. I choice I do not regret. Now, I am not going to let this book completely change my orthodox following but it is pretty damn interesting. And as I type this and look at the picture of the Last Supper we have hanging above the computer, it is quite astounding to put some of the things you read to the test in real life. As much as people knock it, I still think that this is one of the greatest books I have ever read. One of the only books I ever read where I was actually almost right there with the characters. All the coded thy had to decipher, I tried to do so myself. You have to admit, the book is amazingly clever and brilliantly written. I am a HUGE fan.

QUOTE(jenksd @ May 15, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) 52. 1 of them will be an inside the park home when he kills a line drive vs. the Yankees that riccochets off of A-Rod and continues to play pinball off the rest of the Yankees squad, knocking them all unconcious for a few minutes but not seriously injuring any of them except Derek Jeter who wakes up 3 minutes later to find Thome still lumbering toward home, he grabs the ball from left field and beats Jim to the plate only to be catapulted into the netting at Yankee stadium when James Howard Thome's shoulder makes contact with his gargantuan nose, he drops the ball in the process, scoring Thome but the play is only remembered for Jeter's courageousness. I can deal with that.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 15, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) Thats playing balls to the wall right there. Actually, face to the wall.

I just spent 8 hours of my day reading that book. Astounding.

Ok, I'm pretty sure there was a thread about the book before but I can't find it. So, anyways, I just got back into the book and am regretting putting it down in the 1st place. Right now, I'm at the part where Silas the Albino is about to go into the church in Paris to look for the keystone. My first impressions of the book were that of astonishment. It is rich in historical content and it truly paints a picture to the reader. No pun intended. Anyone else reading it at the moment?

Kyyle, I must say, I love the quote in your sig b/w Hawk and DJ. That was funny.

Our team jerseys (HS Varsity) were made by Rawlings for about $110. They are blew with Brooks stitched on the front and with your name and number on the back. Really sweet jerseys. Authentic with the Rawlings logo and everything.

The bonus features are pretty good. In depth interviews, behind the scenes footage and what not. I love watching Rowands reaction to Pods' HR. And the game footage is amazing.

HOLY f*** THIS BANNER ROCKS!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 12, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) JT: 14 home runs. JT???

I get to pitch against a #3 ranked team tommorrow! Whoooot! Harlan, here I come.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 12, 2006 -> 06:11 PM) I like the way you think there. Just trying to make sense of it all. But in all reality, doesn't make sense comparing. BA: Healthy AR: Injured BA: Sox AR: Phillies

Just to add my 2 cents, I think that both of you are right to a certain extent. At this point, I think Anderson has better jumps on the ball and a better arm while Rowand has better instincts and has that ability to make great plays. Sure, it's easy to say that Anderson is better than Rowand because BA is on the Sox. If BA was a Philly and Rowand was on the Sox, and BA made the same play, we'd all be saying that Rowand is a better fielder. Rowand just has that toughness that everyone likes. Let me put it this way, if I had to choose between BA and ARow to make 1 play, I'd take Anderson. And as far as arm strength and accuracy, it's undoubdtedly in favor of BA. That throw he made from right center to 3rd on a 1 hop the other night was fantastic and stopped the runner from taking the extra base. You just have to love the fact that BA will be there. He'll dive when he needs to but the fact is that he doesn't need to dive that much because he camps under the ball. I mean, come on, Rowand never made any "cans of chef boyardee."

Congratulationss to you Kap, and to Ms. Kap as well. Beautiful little girl. Enjoy!

I predict that the favorite to win it all will blow in his/her last performance and make Paula Abdul's head explode. Then, the fat guy will be so sickened that he will vomit out his stomach, immediately killing him. After all this has happened, Simon pulls out an Ak-47 and kills all the contestants, then proclaims himself winner of American Idol.

Happy Birthday to Mr. MIA, err, Showtime.

Hey! Their showing MB vs Santana from earlier this year.
