Rick can dazzle with the numbers at times, trying to get the pitchers to execute is another matter, or buy into it I guess.

Twins will resign Santana to a 6 year $1120 millon cantract.

Is Roger Breshanan wearing cricket pads on his legs?

Great news for Mr. Met, Tom Seaver will be thrilled I bet.

London works great, some of my favorite movie scenes are of the deserted London streets in that movie, stunning. I could be totally wrong here but I think a lot of the movie going folk wouldn't know where Canberra is, which is probably half the point you are making.

Clemens has hired powerful Washington D.C. lawyer Lanny Breuer, he defended Bill Clinton during his impeachment hearings. Breuer is an expert in representing clients who are the focus of congressional investigations, Rusty stays on the team.

I downloaded it last night and listened to some today, pretty good stuff. The audio is a bit rough though at times but apart form that it's a good effort.

Avoid the Big Apple Pizza restaurant in PSL, never know who you'd meet in the parking lot. I would love to go , in a few years we just might.

Meaning that if lets say a line drive hitter all his carer next season pops forty home runs and knocks in 100 + then he should get tested?.....I like that. Would that work for a pitcher?

Have we not been over this ground before, there is plenty of blame to go around, I want to hear about what is been done now to stop this in the future.

I've been hoping for this , if there is a name change then rival fans can't be calling it "shitty field", who cares how many jobs are lost.

Rest in Peace.

I seem to remember a lot of negative press regarding LaRocque and the Mets system.

I dunno but I don't see Gomez spending that time in AAA, don't disagree that he doesn't need it though, also Anderson and Chavez will look to be getting time in LF and RF.

I suppose he will split time with Gomez if he's not traded.

Seems like an awful lot of talent to give up but I'd do it....I would like to see Martinez stay though. AAnyway who else would Minaya be bidding against?, Hank has been running his big gob again in the News today. ] But while stressing there is "absolutely nothing new" in terms of recent trade discussions with the Twins, Hank is beginning to sound convinced - if not nearly ready - to walk away from any potential blockbuster deal for Johan Santana. "We went into this with me making the final baseball decisions and Hal more addressing the financial aspects of the company, but we both do everything," Steinbrenner said yesterday in a phone interview. "We're equal partners, but at this point, to tell you the truth, I'm leaning away from it anyway, so it doesn't matter. Same thing with Brian, he's another integral part of it, obviously, being the general manager, and one day he's leaning to do it and the next day he's not sure. "But what it comes down to right now is giving up a lot (in a trade) and then having to do the big contract, as well. If (Santana) was just a free agent, we could just go ahead and do it. There's a big difference this way. We have to sign him as if he's a free agent, plus you have to give up major talent. That's a tall order."

I wonder if John even knows that.

Great stuff, how'd we never hear about this before?

Doesn't seem like much now but Sosa stopped the bleeding in the final game when he came out of the pen for Glavine , whiffed a bunch IIRC .

First is he signed for 08?, I like the Pat Mahomes comparison. I think we really need to see how the pen shakes out but I would think Jones would fill various rolls like Sele did.
