    I hope this isn't true. I'm a Shooter fan. http://images24.fotki.com/v770/photos/4/41654/102569/BeckGabby-vi.jpg RIP.

    Ryne Sandberg was really bad at that.
  3. Abe Frohman
    BIG difference if Tejada broke his left wrist, as a right handed thrower and batter. That top hand wrist (right hand) would have been much worse to deal with if broken. DLee broke his right wrist, correct?

    Nothing like a player with something to prove....

    Did you guys see the "Tribute to Sammy" on WGN before the Cubs/Rangers game on Wednesday? What did they mean "to be continued?" at the end? Do they know something we don't?
  6. Abe Frohman
    Definately his "I like to hit de honrun" commercial.
  7. Abe Frohman
    Piniella was absolutely right in his post game interview - MLB is inconsistent.
  8. Abe Frohman
    DeRosa is an EXTREME bargain at his salary. I would hate to see him go.
  9. Abe Frohman
    Exactly. I might think twice about it if the Reds would take Izturis and Jones with Marshall, and give us Griffey and Homer Bailey, Mike Gosling, Carlos Fisher or Sam LeCure. Can't keep giving our pitching prospects away (Juan Pierre?).

    511 wins is never going to be topped. Virtually impossible.

    IF Maddux were dumb enough to throw at a Cub today, at least he would do it the right way and hit him in the butt or leg - above the knee where it wouldn't hurt the player.
  12. Abe Frohman
    F that. If he threw at DLee's head, he deserves a country ass whippin.
  13. Abe Frohman
    Considering Peavy's comments in the press and actions on the field, he deserves a longer suspension than anyone involved.
  14. Abe Frohman
    It really doesn't matter if anyone approves or disapproves of what Derrek Lee did today. He is who he is, and we ALL know he is a class individual. The Padres went to the press basically saying they were NOT HAPPY with Soriano pimping his HR. Boo Hoo. Break out the WAAAAmbulance. Young went after the Cubs best player, DLee. As the Cubs appointed "best player," DLee showed Young that you aren't going to f with the Cubs and not catch hell. Kudos to DLee, even if he gets a suspension. He also has respect and a reason to kick a little ass when someone messes with your livelyhood to "prove a point." Think about it that way.
  15. Abe Frohman
    BS. Did you not see the quotes in the paper? They threw at Lee because Soriano pimped his HR on Friday. All the work DLee did last year to get back, and this fool thows one on his wrist? DLee did what I would expect from a guy who just had 4 months in rehab flash before his eyes. If you are going to come high and tight, you better expect some action.

    Did I just quote myself?

    I liked the sign for the Brewers game that said "Bring more beer."
  18. Abe Frohman
    That girl has an incredible body. Her face really does kinda look like a white Juan Pierre, though.
  19. Abe Frohman
    Those are some really nice pics. I was in the bleachers in April, and the dude sitting next to me showed me a ball that Dempster signed for him which said "Ninja Warrior, Ryan Dempster." Said Demp was the only pitcher to sign.

    Wrong. Steroids were against the rules, they just didn't have testing. There was no teeth. But the union wouldn't allow any teeth. Selig doesn't have much authority over those people. The owners do. But having authority isn't the same as knowing what was going on and doing something about it. If you work for a large company with offices in several states, and you do drugs, who is most likely to know? The secretary who holds your calls when you are "unavailable", the manager of your location who sees you on a daily basis, or the CEO 1000 miles away? And Bud isn't even a CEO. He's got very limited authority because he's an employee of the owners. People just like ripping on Bud because it's the fashionable thing to rip on leaders. The fact of the matter is Bud couldn't do a damn thing about the steroids problem, and no matter what he does to fix things people are going to criticize him. Well, if that is the case than perhaps I'm being a little too hard on him. I guess my "facts" are a little skewed, because if that is how the situation is - he is getting unfair scrutiny. Including from me. Learn something new every day.
  21. Abe Frohman
    No, he's a bad guy because he turned a blind eye to the whole situation instead of "preserving the integrity of the game" by squashing drug abuse in the game AND keeping Pete Rose out of baseball and the HOF. Kudos, Bud! I disagree. While I DO think that clubhouse people, managers, and especially GMs are very much to blame also - Selig has authority over them. The players are to blame, of course - but in reality, were they really breaking the rules of MLB? No, they weren't. How is this not a situation where the Commissioner of Baseball allowed drug abuse to happen because it was his (and others) belief that it added something to the game that sparked the interest of baseball fans? Good business, bad ethics - and the game of MLB along with all of it's history are going to pay for it. Yes, they used steroids and other drugs between 1991 and 2004 That was tongue in cheek. Of course using the drugs between 1991-2004 was "wrong," my point is that MLB never outlawed the drugs until recently. Why is that?
  22. Abe Frohman
    I don't feel any sympathy for him. Sure he ignored it. Home Runs = interest. Interest = ticket sales. Ticket sales = wealth. It's not entirely Seligs fault, but he had the opportunity (and the responsibilty) to do the right thing. Of course Selig is to blame for ignoring this problem.
  23. Abe Frohman
    I don't think it can said any better than that. I seriously doubt Giambi will "rat" and cross the Player's Union. There's almost no doubt that he will plead the 5th and take the criticism - a path that will surely label him as uncooperative and guilty. I think it is laughable that Bud Selig is taking this position. He is the "Commisioner" that turned a blind eye to all this P.E.D. abuse, and now he is taking the high road and encouraging players to cooperate with the Federal Investigation? Selig and the ML brass, in my opinion, are the ones who need to be in the spotlight - not the players. After all, the players never did anything that was against the rules of MLB - did they?
  24. Abe Frohman
    I don't think that is really fair. I'm pretty sure Murton would be a little more consistant with steady playing time. Which is why I think that he is better off in AAA right now. Get the stroke back and make Lou call him up to help out. He is rotting away right now.
  25. Abe Frohman
    Rather have Brad Hawpe. Might as well load up on ex-LSU players.
