  1. And then they look at the NL standings. Regardless of that, they're thin at starting pitcher. If they had Kazmir, they would have a formidable 1-2-3 of Pedro-Kazmir-Glavine for the playoffs.
  2. I bet every time Mets fans see Scott Kazmir, their blood pressure rises by at least 30 points.
  3. Jimmy Rollins' career OBP is .327 and his OBP this season is .323. That's a low OBP person.
  4. SHUT UP ABOUT THE STUPID PIXIES! I GUARANTEE THEY WOULD HAVE LOST LIKE 1001343 TO YOU That is true, the Doors would beat the crap out of the Pixies.
  5. Wikipedia entry for Lynyrd Skynyrd That's why I can't really take them seriously. 19 different groupings? Even Dusty Baker shows more consistency with his lineups. You want a real band? Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, John Bonham. One group, one lineup.
  6. One of my top 5 favorite songs of all-time.
  7. Which begs the question of whether it really was a minority that was racist at that time, or whether those who were not racist did anything to speak out against or to stop those who were racist.
  8. He wasn't good defensively either. I assume you're being sarcastic, since Mazeroski is perhaps the best defensive second baseman of all time. That's all well and good, but a career OBP under .300 is what it is - terrible. And if you're going to let Maz in the HOF because of his defensive prowess, what about Santo's five Gold Gloves at third base? He wasn't exactly a butcher either.
  9. Anyone who votes for Sonic Youth in this matchup is an idiot. There, I said it.
  10. Man, do they really have to interview this a-hole right now?
  11. Tejada & Berkman: 3 each Cabrera: 9 Glaus: 1 Wright: 16 (plus two expletives)
  12. haha, did Wright just say "ah s***"? It went silent all of a sudden.
  13. Wright is en fuego
  14. Nice pick to win Kruk - one homer
  15. I'm not trying to make him out to be the bad guy. I think it's pretty sad that people are just giving him a free pass, even if he uttered a racial slur.
  16. He has peaked. Marlins should trade him to the Cubs.
  17. Wow, that rope hitting the foul pole was LOUD.
  18. Did John Kruk really have to talk to Andre Dawson to know that Miguel Cabrera is a special player?
  19. boo lance berkman
  20. Tejada's pitcher sure is working the inside corner.
  21. Bill Mazeroski is in the HOF with a career OBP under .300 and having never put up an OPS+ over 100. Ron Santo isn't. :roll:
  22. Guess nobody is interested in this? I'm watching. After all, I need to see who has the best HGH in baseball :lol: John Kruk just picked the guy who hit zero home runs the last time he competed... good to see the commentators are off to a solid start.
  23. I didn't know Materazzi was a cheap shot artist. That's great and all, but it still doesn't excuse what Zidane did. I don't care if Materazzi claimed he had sex with Zidane's sister before the match, there is no excuse for what Zidane did. None. So basically, you're OK with players uttering racial slurs or family insults on the pitch? Sounds great. Truff, when you're the captain of your team in OT of the final, you don't lose your composure like that, no matter what was said or done. You have to rise above. I think even Zidane would say he should have kept his head about it. There are very few things that, if said to me, would set me off. But, I expect that those few things that shouldn't be said will not be said. Everyone is focusing on the reaction, but nobody seems to mind that the Italian player might have said something really offensive. I guess it's a good move if it gets the other player to lose his mind, but I'd like to think that there is still a little sportsmanship left in the world.

  25. The word great is offended that it has been used to describe Yes.
