    Jeter could eat a baby at the plate with Mantle's bat, clean up with Ruth's jersey and then dance a jig with Munson's corpse and Yankee fans would still line up to fall down at his feet.

    2003. Not even close. Hell, 2004 blows 2007 out of the water.

    I'd say moderate to high. It's my default page, so pretty much anytime I sit down to the computer I'm swinging by for at least a few minutes.

    Once-in-a-generation players are going to cost you.

    If facing left handed pitchers continue to be such a glaring weakness, I'm going to be a LOT more concerned. It's ridiculous that the Cubs are so easily stiffled by southpaws, especially younger ones.

    Baseball's history is riddled with great player who at times completely melted in the post-season, sometimes over and over again during their careers. This is mostly due to it being such a small sample size. Allowing some less than stellar playoff numbers (which don't even define all of his playoff stats over his career) to potentially deny signing a player of ARod's caliber, if such a thing is possible, is absurd.

    yes. Selling the Cubs w/o Wrigley wouldnt maximize the bids. Besides, if that were to happen, how long before the Cubs new owner decided to build a new stadium and ditch Wrigley all together? It's just a negotiating ploy to get bidders to start high. Exactly. These kind of statements, to me, seem to exist to ideally drive up the bids.

    I think Selig knows the potential of Cub fans throwing a huge revolt against him if Cuban is not given a fair shake. I just want him to have a fair and real chance. If he doesnt make the best offer I wont complain. How exactly would Cub fans carry out a revolt against the commissioner of baseball? blow his house up? im in i knew i could count on you Is this before or after the heroin to the forehead? Wrong poster. Treeman, not IMB, is the master of injecting heroin into ones forehead. However, I'm sure IMB is skilled as well. I know. But it's become the go-to ultimate protest act for all when it comes to the Cubs and getting screwed by suits.

    FTW.

    You're talking like you know the players themselves are making these plans and buying the tickets. I think it's far more likely the organization plans ahead and takes care of these things. I doubt Aramis ever sat down and decided to buy himself some airline tickets home before the series was done.

    This was the one thing that really solidified my opinion of Jeter as an overrated egomaniac. The guy actually has the balls to refuse to move to 3rd when one of GREATEST SHORTSTOPS OF ALL TIME shows up to play. OK, granted, maybe they tried Jeter at 3rd in some practice sessions and he was hideous...but I doubt it.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Which this story neither proves nor disproves, as several have pointed out. These guys getting plane tickets isn't like most of us having to get plane tickets.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I can understand pointing out flaws in a player's approach to the game, but he's so far beyond that in that he seems to be repeatedly saying that Aramis' performance is actually detrimental to the team. Insanity.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Zambrano's sparkling diamond didn't help.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    If someone says Theriot should be there instead, punches will be thrown.

    I'm a little surprised that I've read people here complaining about the Cubs swinging at first pitches last night. If anything, they didn't do it enough. I counted at least a dozen 1st pitch fastballs that Webb tossed that basically went right down the middle...exactly like the scouting report says about him. After that, he keeps it low and almost unhittable. Waiting was going to accomplish nothing against a pitcher as a good as him, especially when guys like Lee, Aramis and DeRosa have excellent 1st pitch hit numbers this year.

    I would love to see him get to do it if the Cubs win a WS in his lifetime. He deserved none of the crap he's had hurled at him and I think it would be a great little gesture to put those championship-less years behind the whole general image of the team. If they win it this year, he should be tossing out the first pitch the first game of next season.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    I love how in all the Cubs' dramatic wins this season he always, without fail, has the best poses and facial expressions in the photos taken.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    I agree that DeRosa was never a "goat." Obviously, people didn't love him like they do now and few thought he would do this well, but I don't really recall people bemoaning his place on this team a la Neifi...THAT'S a goat.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    The first one is amazing and I don't think could be any more relevant right now.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    There is very little doubt in my mind that this is the Brewer's division for the next several years. The Brewers dont' have the pitching to win the division. The Brewers have a very good and very cheap core of their team that they can easily build off of.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    If we win game 1, we still need to win games 2 and 3.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Or, as we saw tonight, the course of a game.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    I think they'd need even more cameras. That final slide apparently only had 2 angles, neither of which were definitive either way.
