    And the "romp" is now tied at 3, how many times have you heard an annoucer say that Weekes has trouble with the rebound?

    Interesting bit form a NYT article.... ] If the Lions hold onto Matsuzaka, they may very well wind up with nothing in return. By posting him, they will get a windfall. Precisely how much, though, may never be known. Quoting an unnamed Lions executive, the Japanese newspaper Sankei Sports reported last Friday that three unidentified major league teams had approached the executive about setting up a prearranged deal for Matsuzaka. The executive told the newspaper that he did not engage the teams in conversation because he considered it tampering. But, in theory, a team could effectively tell the Lions: �We want to get Matsuzaka. What if we bid $50 million to make sure we win his rights, and then we paid you $20 million?� The Seattle Mariners had a working agreement with the Orix Blue Wave, Ichiro Suzuki�s old team, before winning his negotiating rights with a $13 million bid in 2000. There have long been rumors that the Mariners never had to pay the full amount.

    When the Baseball HOF did a traveling show a few years back I went to the city to see it, on display was a newspaper ad looking for a 3rd baseman....NINA was part of the ad..

    Of course Irish culture is part of this country...my point is that I hate the stereotypes...and not just of irish culture...

    FK ,at times you are the voice of reason here......you make some great points....especially on OBP.

    Because they have to deal with silly Irish stereotypes, I remember in the early 90's ND played a few games at Croke Park...me and my friends were like...who the fuck are these idiots..fighting irish...what a load of bullshit.....

    I'm from Ireland....and the Irish were not always looked on as positive...I feel bad for Irish-Americans at times...
  14. metirish
    It glorifies my culture in what way?......
  15. metirish
    Irish people are known as "paddies",that's what the Brits call us,"paddywagon" was coined because the Irish were apparently always drunk and fighting..the cops would come with the "paddywagon" to round them up.

    ] I do find it funny that just a year or two ago, most here, including myself, wanted no part of Soriano on the Mets. After a monster season for the Nationals and a change in position, suddenly many of us have changed our tunes on Soriano. I was thinking the same thing today....
  17. metirish
    You might find it hilarious but I doubt many others would,that name would last about one day.....it's not that I don't have a sence of humor, I do, but "fighting irish" to me is just insulting and I would never by a ND jersey..it ranks up there with " paddywagon" which I still often see used in newspapers over here....IIRC I saw it in the New York Times recently.
  18. metirish
    I think that's a great idea, the writers strike me as lazy.....

    It's not just baseball and not just over here, in England the Premiership attendence is down, only a few teams sell out,rating on SKY TV are down,in Italy attendence has hit an all time low,this after they won the World Cup,I think people just have more to choose from these days.

    ] Either that, or senility is really kicking in Um,yeah that's what I was thinking.... Earlier.
  21. metirish
    I've noticed lately that you put Later in your posts twice,why so?...
  22. metirish
    Where would you hit him in the lineup?,I'm thinking fourth behind Beltran or fifth behind Delgado.
  23. metirish
    ] how'd Reyes do? Reyes went 0-for-2.
  24. metirish
    I remember being in a bar when he took a perfect game into the ninth inning and when Everret got that two out hit I let out a loud yeeeeeeees, about a dozen yankee fans turned and gave me dirty looks...
  25. metirish
    Where did the thousands of fans sit/stand....it's cool and all but I imagine it would have some safety issues
