Though I'm not a sports fan by any means, I feel it's proper to wish all the players, coaches, and the referees (yup, even those refs   ) the best of luck. I hope it'll be a fun season for them and all who are baseball fans. I'm sorry to stray a little bit from the main topic, but this happened at a baseball game yesterday at the opening pitch. http://thinkprogress.org/2008/03/30/bush-booed-nationals/I'm not trying to turn this into a political debate topic, but I gotta say this: My heart kinda sank when he walked out onto the field and lots of people responded negatively to his presence there. I know he's quite unpopular and he's had his faults, but I say give the guy a break. It's no walk in the park leading a country. I know for certain I could never do it, and I'd like to see some of those people who were booing him try to do it without screwing up. On the positive side, he didn't do too bad at pitching. Not bad at all. |

Don't forget about Mystique and Aura. Oh wait. Schilling and Johnson booted them out of town in '01. My mistake. |

Yes all is well in New York, however, my Phillies will still be following the crowd waiting for the right time to make their move. I just hope it's upward.

NY Frank...hope you didn't get too dirty digging up that shirt Nope, not at all. Piece of cake. And now that it is sold, some of us are holding a fund raiser to buy it from the current owners - so that we can burn it at a future game. |

Well I hope that works out for you but you will probably need the dough to pay for tickets at the new stadium as I am sure they will not be cheap. Best of luck this season but try not to be too disappointed when you don't make the playoffs. 'Nuff Said (McGreevy) ~RHS |

You KNOW that we'll either be leading the way, or right on your tail. Personally, I'm making plans for October baseball.  [Now, who has the lighter - let's light this stinky jersey up ...] |

All I have to say is that people won't even remember how to spell Josh Beckett's name once Joba becomes a starter. Sad that a career ERA close to 4 and he is still considered great. Though, sadly, compared to other starters currently he is great. Either speaks real low for pitching or real high for hitting or possibly a mix of the two.
Speaking of a smell, it will be hard to tell if the stink this year is stronger from and old, nasty jersey or from David Ortiz himself. I won't go any further with that, though, since the guy certainly should be capable of matching his rather lofty career batting average of .287 by the end of the season with the kind of skills he has.
Ok, rant over, at least for now.

Funny stuff guys!
The good thing of being in the NL is that we can just wait to see who survives the beatings NYY and BRS put on each other!
Go DBacks!

The bar for pitching in the majors has Definitely lowered over the years - probably somewhat due to all the expansion teams drawing on the same small talent pool. Yeah - these days a 4 ERA pitcher is great, a 5 is still good, and above that is still highly tolerable. There are many pitchers on staffs today who would not be viewed as worthy of the big leagues 30 years ago. At work we joke about quitting and trying out for a team as a pitcher - with the likelihood that someone would give us a spot. "Gotta pulse and you can reach the plate, too? Come with me..." |

All true but also it seems like the standard for hitting has lowered. Use to be, seems like to me, that you had to hit .300 or higher to be considered a very good hitter. Now you have "superstars" that are below that. Interesting, but whatever.
I heard something on the radio the other day that was extremely interesting to me. The guy, don't know who, was saying that players today are stronger than ever, faster than ever, train more than ever, have more personal trainers watching over them, and yet there are more injuries than ever. Weird how that works.
Now, I don't want to dwell on the baseball isn't what it use to be band wagon because that can get old. The truth is, I think the game is more exciting to watch and follow today. A great pitching performance can be really boring. Hitting and scoring lots of runs is more fun to watch.
Well, the White Sox got Joba last night but still not worried about him. You can't win them all.

WOW  Someone needs a hug! My apolagys for the tipo...I forgot how senseteve you NY people is. I do agree with the decline of pitching and I think you are right Frank about the expansion teams being root cause. I guess we should just all be thankful they are not striking. I have to say though I am getting tired of the NYY/BRS games dragging on for hours...seems like every game now is 5 + hours. Shut up and play already! ~RHS |
