  1. I think Peanut could do better than a 28% prediction rate. Hell, he almost won our NCAA pool two years ago.
  2. People get blasted here when they play the race card. That's not always fair. Omar has a perceived reputation, fair or not, that he favors Latino players. To man, almost every player rumored to be heading our way this season has been Latino: Baez, Ramirez, Lugo, now Duaner Sanchez. I'm not saying it's politically correct, but it's the perception.
  3. You all are, of course, shitting me.
  4. How unconventional. If it weren't for Wagner, I might have proposed making Pedro a Fingers/Sutter-style closer for the last two years of his deal.
  5. But no less ugly.
  6. Any All-Ugly team without Joe Torre ain't much of an All-Ugly team.
  7. When something happens that you like, you're allowed to react. Why can't you react when something happens that you don't like?
  8. No no no no no no no no no no.
  9. Mmm... Claire Danes. My wife looks like Claire Danes.
  10.

  11. Edgy DC wrote: Earlier in the thread (earlier in the same post, I think, without checking): The Shortstop Who Will Not Be Named. Yeah. Sorry. I didn't feel like typing the whole thing out again, and I can't write J-t-r without going into spasms.
  12. Another case for Jim Rice. ]For a period of 12 years -- 1975-86 -- Rice led all American League players in 12 different offensive categories, including home runs (350), RBI (1,276), total bases (3,670), slugging percentage (.520), runs (1,098) and hits (2,145). In that span, his typical season looked something like this: 29 homers, 106 RBI, 91 runs scored and an average above .300. But what really elevates the case for Rice is context. He led every player in his league in virtually every significant offensive category for a dozen years. And when you add in all of the National League players from the same era, Rice still leads in five categories and finishes second in three others. First or second in eight different categories for a dozen years? That sounds plenty dominant enough for me.
  13. Didn't read the Snopes account that closely. My bad.
  14. That's pretty ballsy (no pun intended) -- signing a ball that says "2005 Rookie Of The Year" when you're not. By the way... what does that post have to do with this thread?
  15. The "rumor" angle seems the most likely, I suppose... maybe Gooden really knew nothing of it, and Klapisch put it in the book just for the controversy's sake.
  16. I tried, but there are about eight million Wayback hits for that site.
  17. Sounds like a "would you rather?" question...
  18. Nice work, Edgy. Looks like the Heilmans had some wedding photos posted on seemesmile.com, but they're lost to the ages, as it looks like that site is no more.
  19. They're desperate for pitching; so they picked up Adam Eaton and Kevin Millwood. I think that puts them in a pretty good place.
  20. Never trust a Yankee.
  21. ="mlbaseballtalk"]RF Been a revolving door for some time now. The last back-to-back team leader in games played was "Mr. 5 Tools" Alex Ochoa in 96 and 97 Wow. That would have been a neat trivia question. No way I would have gotten that one without cheating.
  22. You know what's startling? Damon is a moron. Did you listen to any of his interviews? He might be the worst non-language-barrier-based interview in the history of interviews. He can't speak! And MFY fans think he's going to be a media darling?!?! Doubt it. Mariano Rivera -- with apologies to The Shortstop Who Will Not Be Named -- might be the most important part of the MFYs' last ten years. Is he a media darling? No, partially because he can't speak English. Guess what? Neither can Damon. Mike Piazza is a media king. TSWWNBN is a media king. It ain't happening for Johnny Damon.

    Endy

    Bleh.
  24. Greg, that was outstanding!
