Was that really necessary? If you aren't going to respond to the points he made, then there's no need to say anything. I responded to each and every point he made. They are all wrong.

You were as right about the "tie game" as you are about the rest of your post. Bravo!

The Cubs played a little sloppy last night, they didn't deserve to win. However, if I had to blame one person it would be Reed. He had his head up his own ass three times 1) trying to stretch the single (worked) 3) stealing third (didn't work) 4) bunting on that turf (didn't work). There's a reason why Tampa has the fewest sac bunts in baseball and it ain't b/c they're managed by an Earl Weaver clone with a lot of big hitters. I don't understand why you're complaining about him stretching that single into a double considering that it worked, but whatever. As for the bunt in the 9th, it was a great idea. If Longoria doesn't make a perfect play on that ball, the game would've been tied. Unfortunately, he did make a perfect play. Nothing wrong with dropping down a bunt there. Yesterday I drove backwards down the highway, it worked so I'm going to try it today too. Whatever works man'. I love Len but he's dead wrong. It wasn't a perfect play it was a routine play and Johnson was thrown out by 15 feet. Johnson should know better than to bunt on a billiard green. Like I said, there's a reason why Tampa doesn't bunt. 15 feet? Boy that's not much of an exaggeration or anything. I'm watching the replay right now on ESPN and as the 1B is gathering the ball, Johnson's left foot is planted and he's making his final step to the bag with his right. So unless Reed has a 15 foot stride, you're off by about 10-12 feet. The firstbaseman was standing on the bag with the ball in his hand well before Reed reached 1st. Probably 3-5 paces.

They still have time to pull out a division crown. The Phillies aren't that good. And the Mets are? Very talented and more than capable of winning the division. Whether they do or not depends on health and the talent on the field.

It would have been better if you wrote Mets Free Willie. This is long overdue.

The US Open is the only tourny. I can watch on TV for an extended period of time. They make the course so damn tough it makes golf actually watchable.

Bonds hasn't been convicted of anything. Bonds is being made an example of mostly because he was an ass, but partly because he broke a sacred record in sports. Perjury has nothing to do with it. You're seriously going to marginalize the perjury indictment behind "being an ass"? They could have gotten a perjury indictment on any of a number of players. Why aren't the going after Palmerio, Clemens, etc., etc.,

which rules are you referring to? Probably the same rules that Brian Roberts and scads of others broke, yet people would have no problem with those guys on the team. Has anyone stopped being a fan of the Cubs because they didn't outright release Robert Hernandez? Brian Roberts and Robert Hernandez committed perjury too? You think that's why so many people have problems with Bonds? Were we talking about "so many people"? The guy, tspain, simply said he doesn't want Bonds on the Cubs on principle. I'm just saying it's a little absurd to call out the guy by pretending the principle is that Bonds was just another juicer. Bonds hasn't been convicted of anything.

The US Open is the only tournament to have an 18 hole playoff. I love it. Tiger is something special. He's a singularity in sports.

He's pretty damn sexy for a chicken hating, lazy, non-caring, non-hustling third baseman. Suck on it Greg Couch and the nameless call-in radio idiots. MVP of the Cubs

This is all true. I hate his slap hitting style but it gets the job done. He's shown the way.

Intrascrotal hernia.

For those in the know: Does Vitters stay in Short Season or does he go to Peoria after he gets in "game shape"?

This course is so tough it's making them look like hackers.

Based on what I saw in that video, I don't think we'll have to worry about that. The most we have to worry from this guy is his inability to fix our computers when calling in The Geek Squad. He's got a wedding ring on his left hand.

If this isn't a joke, the worst thing about it is that guy is married and may procreate.

Tiger Woods is not human. He's an alien, pure and simple.

When I saw him last week against West Tenn. his fastball looked pretty good, but his breaking pitches were excellent. In hitters counts they were hitting the fastball pretty well. If he got ahead he was much more effective (obviously).

Is the sound messed up for anyone else?

The Sporting News needs to pay more attention to baseball. Berkman has been a superstar in baseball for a number of years. I disagree with you on Berkman being a superstar for a number of years. My point was that he should be considered a superstar, but he's not. Part of the reason could be that he's not on either coast, but Bagwell and Biggio did get their share of publicity while playing in Houston. Who says he's not? You? He's on every all-star team, he makes the most money on his team and just about anybody who follows baseball knows he one of the best players in baseball.

Exactly. Jay puts about as much thought into his work as I do in choosing which color of white sox to wear when I'm mowing the lawn. He's the very definition of a hack. My biggest wonder is how he ever got to the position he currently occupies.
