  1. If that doesn't work, he should call Isiah Thomas and turn Franco into a first-round draft pick.
  2. I like Rachael Ray...but I have seen only about 4 episodes of her show. I guess she could get annoying with overexposure but I wouldn't know. What I do like about her is that she grew up in upstate New York, and if you've spent any time up there, (soupy, Methead) you can recognize that upstate style of speaking. It was weird to see that on TV. One of the episodes I caught was when she went back home and I noticed that her accent got thicker when she was back in her hometown. This happens to me too. I've been living in the city for ten years, but every time I go home, I feel like a hick again.
  3. Good move. Like he did with Jorge Julio, Omar seems to know when to cut a non-productive player loose. Omar Minaya. Good dumper of Julios.
  4. I don't remember being this impatient for a baseball game. I'd like to see Milledge and Gotay in the starting lineups.
  5. Will Rickey be given #24?
  6. Edgy DC wrote: I never could figure out who has run the infield since Acta left. I guess it's been Alomar, but it could be Johnson or even Raldolph. Howard Johnson...infield coach...that's a good one.
  7. re: Maggie I've never seen a girl vary so much depending on angle. She can look great or bad from scene to scene, even within the same movie. Love her personality though....enough to carry her to Top 5 status for me.
  8. What if the reigning manager declines for whatever reason? Who does the honor fall to?
  9. 1. Who are the Phillies commemorating with their black patch? I don't remember any Phillies dying recently. 2. Does the honor of managing the All-Star team belong to the manager or the team? In other words, suppose LaRussa left the Cards after last year and decided to manage another NL team, would he get to go? Or would it be the Cards new manager? What if LaRussa retired? Would it be his replacement, or Willie as the manager of the NL Runners up? 3. Maggie Gyllenhaal. Hot or Not?
  10. With Rivera taking the blown save and loss.
  11. I loved it as a kid. And I think part of the reason was the chance to see players from the AL that I never got a chance to watch. This was before Sportscenter, and MLB Extra Innings, and interleague play. I remember rooting very hard for Gooden to mow down the AL in '86 and being very disappointed he got the loss. With all the good that happened that year, I felt like Gooden let me down a lot that year. I guess it was a harbinger of things to come. When Piazza was the on the team, I remember watching to make sure he didn't get hurt and turning it off the minute he was subbed out. Last year, with a very Met-ly team, was the first time I watched the whole game since the 80's. I might catch some of it tonight. Or I might not.
  12. The groupies in Binghampton leave a lot to be desired.
  13. seawolf is cracking me up in this thread. He's in a nice little rhythm.
  14. Give me the guy who can hit. Probably the most damning thing about Valentin wasn't all the balls he's failed to connect on, but the one he did manage to hit. It died at the warning track. If Valentin doesn't have the power he had last year, he brings very little to the table now that his mobility is compromised. I'd go with Ruben.
  15. Great job guys.
  16. Without looking at the rest of the list, I'm guessing a few of these are no-brainers. 3 - Babe Ruth 16 - Joe Montana 23 - Michael Jordan 32 - Magic Johnson 34 - Walter Payton 42 - Jackie Robinson 99 - Wayne Gretzky
  17. Fuck Gehrig. No love for Mookie.
  18. I'm sick of seeing the other team's starter go into the 8th with 75 pitches. This team needs to learn to make the pitchers work a little. They're playing like donkey piss.
  19. That's why you use Castro instead of Franco on Sunday.
  20. I had forgotten about the bees. Awesome.
  21. Wright 1 Gotay 1 Reyes .5 Green .5
  22. At least the whole NL East lost. Let's win the next two.
  23. Whether he loafed or not has nothing to do with Willie's mistake. Putting him in to bat there is a mistake even if Franco busted it out of the box. One guy has 1 HR and a slugging percentage of .250. The other guy has 4 HR's and a slugging percentage of .478. Only a fool chooses the first guy.
  24. He jogged. I was listening on the radio and Howie Rose was clearly annoyed about that. He also mentioned that he thought Castro should be up there and not Franco.
