    Wasn't he saying a few weeks prior how there was "no way" that he'd be the one to give up the homer?

    Gossage is in next year going against first-ballot baseball titans like Shawon Dunston, David Justice, Travis Fryman, Tim Raines (actually not that bad), and Randy Velarde.
  3. erik316wttn
    If McGwire is left off the first ballot, Bonds damn well better be, too.

    Lee Corso picked Florida before the game. I think Mark May did as well. Oh. I didn't watch the pregame.
  5. erik316wttn
    I didn't hear any of the national talking heads pick Florida. I just wonder if this will hurt or help the argument for a playoff. Not like we'll get one anyway, though.

    Not quite as bad as game 6. Had this happened in the NFC Championship, then yes.

    Man, I'm gonna laugh SO hard if the Bears lose.

    Good. I friggin hate the Cowboys (my hatred started back in the mid-90's when the NFL bent over backwards to make the Packers play down there EVERY SINGLE YEARS), and I can't bring myself to root for any team TO is on. Rot in hell, Dallas.

    No, from everything I hear, he'll be fine. He got through the difficulties with healing last year. Excellent news. A monsterous D-Lee is essential for this lineup.

    people don't seem to be as giddy this offseason. Rightfully so. It's been a lot better than the previous two offseasons, for what that's worth. But it is coming of a season that was so much worse. I'm in one of those "I'll believe it when I see it" moods.

    How many days until Opening Day?

    They've been throwing rocks for 5,000 years. You'd think they'd be able to develop some pretty good pitchers.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/hof07/news/story?id=2703632&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab2pos2 Andre was my all-time favorite player, even moreso than Sammy. This short article gives the pros and cons of his HOF worthiness. The writer is ultimately against his induction. Had Andre started his career on grass instead of on turf, he'd have hit 500+ home runs and would already be in. He was about as complete a player as you could be in his prime.

    So you're saying that most of the games best players have chemically-enhanced talent? Some I'd believe, but most? Come on.

    Just because the government is entitled to those names doesn't necessarily mean they'll be released........ does it?
  16. erik316wttn
    Interesting ... my own initial reaction was: "I'm more worried about seeing Prior on the list than Sosa." Why? It's not like he just inexplicably caught the injury bug and therefore steroids must be the reason. Unfortunately, in this age of steroids, people jump to this conclusion when a player becomes injury-prone. I'm not saying the above poster jumped to that conclusion, however.

    If I may interject... I'm a Packers fan. I want a 42-17 Packers victory with Brett throwing for 300 yards and 4 TD's, completely dominating the Bears like he has for the vast majority of his career. At least go out on a high note. ;)
  18. erik316wttn
    Is that the same hand he broke when he was with Seattle? Or was that his wrist?
  19. erik316wttn
    Yup. And who could argue that Sosa wouldn't put in that extra drive and effort to make it work with the Cubs. There's so much good that could happen as opposed to bad here. I know it won't happen, but man, it'd be nice to see Sosa run out to RF again eh? I'd shed a tear and dust off my old Sammy jersey T. Well, I still wear it, but I'd still dust it off and wear it upon a return. He won't be back, though. Damn shame, too. He was the only reason (and I do mean the only reason) to watch for about three years and he got treated the way he did.

    I see Junior's getting an early start on the season.
  21. erik316wttn
    Fixed that for ya.
  22. erik316wttn
    Maybe it's because it's late, but who is the "early teammate" you're talking about? I know Caminiti is one.
  23. erik316wttn
    Damn you, Jim, for not at least taking a chance.
  24. erik316wttn
    Wow. I was of the "borderline" camp for Bagwell, but after going on baseball-reference.com and looking at some of the monster seasons he put up, I think he most definately belongs in the HOF. .408 career OBP, .948 career OPS, and in the strike-shortened 1994 season in which he only played 110 games, he had 39 home runs, 116 RBI and a .368 BA. I shudder to think what those would have been had he had another third of a season to pad those stats. Had he played for an east-coast team like the Yankees or Red Sox his whole career and put up identical numbers, there would be no question about his HOF worthiness. Bags belongs in.

    And Sammy put 10x more butts in the seats than Maddux ever did.
