    Overblown story. LaRussa is lucky on 2 counts : 1. At least he pulled over . Could have been worse 2. He got his 4 rings back. I would have bet one of them would have ended up on E-Bay.

    I played a few prop bets on the game one of which was the over on the longest punt return being 18.5 yards. I think Devon Hester will break a couple of big returns. Unless.of course, Indy just kicks it out of bounds all the time. Which could happen. Go Bears ! 31-28 Ha

    I hope KC wins......kinda doubt it but ya never know. I can't see Dallas winning.....all the "experts" on SI.com are picking them to beat Seattle.....I'm a bit surprised at that. Too much Tuna-love going on.

    USC gagged......it appeared to me that they thought they would just roll over the Bruins. Give huge credit to UCLA for how they played. Emotion sometimes makes up for one's shortcomings. My 2 cents worth: I agree w/ OMC's post above. Michigan had their chance vs. Ohio State. If UM won the rematch I don't understand how they could be National Champion when the record between OSU and Michigan would 1-1 on the season. Give Florida the chance.

    I guess I'm lame cause I actually like jerseys. I have 2 Wood, a Prior and a Sosa. Funny thing is I have a Soriano Yankee jersey fron when I lived in NYC :shock:

    Come on Vance.....even u know that VORP is skewed as a metric in this case......but I do agree some Yankee-hatred factored into the vote.....however as an impartial observer Morneau was statistically better then Jeter In what way? Jeter was better in runs created and win shares. If you only think in terms of power numbers, then maybe, but there's more to creating runs than just hitting home runs. If that's the case, there were much better choices than Morneau. I respectfully disagree.....VORP does not take into account line-up and/or line-up changes.....the fact remains that Morneau has a Production Factor of 28% vs. Jeters 23%.....what position said player plays in this case is irrelevant......just my opinion and of course I could be wrong.

    Huge kudos to the voting process. The right man won.......very strange but true........can't actually believe that the general populace didn't sway this vote to the more "marquee" .....player......hhahahahahahaaaa

    Cubs won't be a Tribune asset next year.

    His stats are what they are but Soriano is the type of guy that can carry on offense for 3-4 weeks on a run. Juts beware of the upcoming criticism when he strikes out frequently on the low-and-away slider.

    8 years !?!?...............geez.....8 years ? That does not compute.

    http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6188248 Mods feel free to delete/merge this if another thread has it. Rosenthal at FoxSports.com says an 8 yr deal is close.

    I'm totally bias here b/c Kerry Wood is my favourite Cub player.....I'm glad he is back.....i'm glad he signed an incentive-ladened contract and i totally hope he has a great comeback year. Do I wish he was still a starter ? Yes. Do I wish he had stayed healthy ? Of course. I'm just happy to see Kerry in a Cubs uniform. I'm probably dellusional but heres to a good/great comeback.

    As a poster above noted : prosportsdaily.com is very useful....at least to me.

    I find this story interesting from a couple of angles. Firstly. I wondered if the suits at the "World Wide Leader in Sports" in Bristol,CT really want their "dirty laundry" being aired. Secondly, its not as if Reynolds is the first on-air personality at ESPN to have "issues". I believe Tirico had some a few years back and there have been rumors, emphasis on rumors, about Berman. Also the guy who does some basketball reporting. Can't think of his name right now. Anyhow, put me in the camp of mildly interested in how this plays out.

    At what spot ? Congrats VDub !!

    The Boss loves Mattingly. Brian Cashman loves Mattingly. Mattingly will most definitely get his chance to manage the Yankees. When that happens is debatable but it certainly is bankable.

    The NBA pre-season is too long. Let the games begin already.
  21. Big Fergie J
    I am firmly in your camp on this Vance. If I ran the Cubs I would do it......then again I don't run the Cubs

    Worst World Series in a long, long time. Brutal baseball.

    I agree w/ your assessment. I think Trammell makes a good addition as bench coach. Just guessing here, but I don't think he enjoys dealing with the daily media pressure that a manager has to go through. He seems like a behind-the-scenes type guy. I think people underestimate that certain types of people play second banana better and once they are the "head guy" it changes a lot of what they have to do.

    http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/story/464199p-390626c.html Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. NY Daily news reporting Alan Trammell will join the Cubs as Piniella's bench coach. I would prefer Zimmer....j/k
