    Does your name define you? Well what do you know!? God bless science and statistics.

    I cannot back this up with real stats right now but I'll bet the tickets that are selling for the prices you stipulate are either really great seats or are for coveted games. I'll bet you that there are plenty of seats in sec 404 in early May that go unsold. Just a guess, though. yeah, maybe for a handful of bad weather games that's true. But most of the stadium sells for way over face value on the secondary market, maybe not always double, but quite often far more than double. The fact is the team could easily make more money by raising prices, the problem is the PR backlash from people screaming. Demand clearly supports the higher prices. I would think that if that were true, ticket brokers would be clamoring for my section 404 season tickets whenever I contact them to see if they want to buy them. Trust me, they ain't.

    Im fairly certain he's done all of that. All at the same time. Sounds like a helluva party. It wasn't nearly as fun as you'd think. Trust me. He kept shouting "A-Rod ShmA-ROD! I'm king of the world!" It got old fast.

    Following the Bob Sanders "Never Have Sex With Your Wife Again" info tapes to the letter I see.

    The problem with that is I don't see it working unless Anaheim or LA come right back and offer something huge. If it's a charage, he's not going to be able to keep it going long. "charage"? Forget it, he's rolling. Sorry, charade. For anybody thinking Bruno is a credit whore, espnnews is running a note saying Len Pasquirelli is reporting Rex Grossman will start, even though the Bears officially announced it themselves over an hour ago and everybody else is also reporting the story. Please note my post was an attempt at humor, not trying to be a dyck van [expletive].

    Yep and if Hendry screws this off season up with all the very good choices he has available he HAS to be fired immediately. He could screw up and still have things fall into place but it would take a real pro to muff this up. Please define. (I'm not disagreeing, just interested in what you think are obvious, available and easily attainable "very good choices".)

    Not nearly as much as people think, thanks to conventional wisdom? How would one quantify that?

    Sand. It goes Clay Pipes Sand Pea gravel Top soil Grass Out of curiosity, what purpose does the sand serve? It helps the water to move from the ground to the pipes and cleans particulate matter that could clog the pipes from the water before going into the pipes. However: the white stuff could very well be lime and not sand. Lime stabalizes the ph level of the soil if it is too acidic. Also I could be wrong about the exact order. Sand may go on top of pea gravel. It's been a while since I did heavy duty landscaping. Why is it in the stands and bleachers? (Third pic down it looks like it is in the stands near foul ball guy's seat and in the aisle halfway between the visitor's bullpen and the dugout. The fourth pic looks like it is all over the ground int he bleachers.) Perhaps I'm seeing things.

    At the risk of sounding like Bambi, what's all that white stuff?

    Let's not lose sight of how DLee's defense improves ARam's defense.

    An article in the New Yorker this week describes a suggestion Scott Boras made to Bud Selig about a change in the World Series schedule: The Extortionist: Scott Boras, the Yankees’ bête noire, has changed baseball forever. Thoughts?

    Well to be fair, you did bring it up. And if I refer to someone by first name only, and you're confused as to who I could possibly mean, please...let me know and I'll clarify. :) i know who people mean its just to egotistical for my humbled self, as you might imagine ;) i dont like to call alex rodriguez, arod. or even ichiro suzuki, ichiro. the only first name people in sports ill do it to (off the top of my head): Mark Kerry i have the same rant about Senator Clinton, but people are sick of me saying it I actually have the same feeling (if I understand you properly). I try to use the title with the person whenever I can. President Bush, Senator Clinton, Rep. Jackson. I even cringe a little at Mr. Bush, or Mrs. Clinton. Especially when referring to them in their professional capacity. If Mr. Bush is 4 wheeling around his ranch in Crawford, fine. If Mrs. Clinton is taking in a Cubs-Yankees game, fine. But when talking about them in their elected capacity, use their title. Just my little pet peeve.

    Shouldn't this thread title have a question mark?
