  4. huge shock, Alabama gets in trouble and their punishment has no teeth. Vacating wins? Big freaking deal. Plus the probation isn't going to cost any scholarships. They really laid the smack down on Bama.
  5. A white boy QB running a 4.3??
  6. dopes who wave to the camera in the background should be executed
  7. wow, Dlee has only GIDP once this whole year.
  8. haha, ya i remember that. I also remember several years ago Matt Stairs stopping and arguing with an umpire in the field while the ball was still in play. Anyone else remember that?

  14. Harold, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard...Northwest kids peak late because of the weather...
  15. I think half the people in that building are asleep.
  16. If you read his autobiography My Life in Baseball, Cobb's key philosophy was to get on base no matter what. He knew that attempting to slug the crap out of the ball would decrease the likelihood that he'd reach base. Ichiro would probably be the best modern example of what the great deadballers looked like. That's not to say that Cobb didn't have power, because he certainly was capable of hitting monster shots. There are many stories of crowds being wowed by some of his home runs. There is of course the infamous story of Cobb, nearing the end of his career and feeling overshadowed by the Babe, telling reporters that he was going to swing for the fences during a two game series against the Browns. Sure enough, on May 5th and 6th 1925, he went 9-12 with five home runs and 25 total bases.
  17. Cool photograph from the 1937 All-Star Game showing the players jumping for the first pitch ball thrown by FDR. In the photo you can see Foxx, Gehrig, Hubbell, Dean, and others. Baseball sure has changed alot.
  18. OUTSTANDING photograph taken on October 8th, 1904, Red Sox vs. Yankees in Boston. Cy Young on the mound for the Sox.
