Rich Harden just k'ed Sheffield, ARod and Giambi in order to get out of a 2nd and 3rd no outs with no runs scoring. 99 mph on the last fastball to Giambi.

The only other one that jumped to mind when you said this was the Gary Gaetti homer in the wild card playoff game against the Giants in 1998. Our expectations were a bit lower then... :P I'd still say the Kerry one was better, but just thought I'd mention this one. sosa homer in game one?

Your argument is that you get bored with daily changes by July, so others shouldn't be allowed to, and mine doesn't hold water? My argument is that only allowing roster changes in a very limited window is arbitrary and unfair. I don't see any reason why I, or anybody else, should be locked into a roster decision made days in advance. I just don't see the point. And since most people have voted for some sort of ability to change more frequently than once a week, I think others agree with me. FYI: The "not honest" comment was in regards to the idea that since you can set your lineups months in advance, it doesn't matter how frequently you get access to that. That's akin to suggesting we all set our lineups today and leave them the same way for the rest of the season. And what about people who ended up with a bad roster when they were away for the draft? If somebody has 3 good outfielders who can play everyday, but another person's OF is weak and needs a platoon to contend, why can't that person choose to platoon as the season goes on. This seems to doubly reward people who had a better draft, and I at least didn't even see this rule until after the draft. no, my argument is that other people get bored and that hurts the competition. the roster deadline is not arbitrary because you set your roster for each game on the day before the game begins. hence for each game (one week) you have a set lineup. makes perfect sense.

not really honest? I think its quite honest and a statement of fact. The reality is you can set your lineup on Friday for the next week so there is no problem with you not having access on Saturday and Sunday. I find daily changes tedious come July and that most people stop paying attention on a daily basis. Weekly changes keep people more engaged on a regular basis. I don't care either way but I don't think your argument holds much water.

If Daily gets 3 votes, weekly gets 4 votes, and option 3 gets 2 votes, what will be the decision? Depends on who offers the biggest bribe. :D I guess it would be weekly in that case. Well, this seems unfair. It's like splitting the vote of people who think weekly is unfair. It's the summer, there are a lot of Sundays/Mondays when I will be unable to access a computer to make a move. I would rank them daily, option 3, then weekly if there was a ranking. And I'm guessing those people who voted daily to start would do the same. Clearly weekly is the less desirable option if the majority is voting for some sort of daily opportunity to make changes. You can set your lineup for each week months in advance so this isn't really an issue. I'm ok either way though.

I'm confused - if you can't underestimate its importance, doesn't that imply its not very important?

with a six run lead getting walker out isn't terrible. dunn being booed - start the trade talk!

stellar use of ohman to get valentin turned around. now no lefty for the last time through griffey and dunn. nice job by williamson.

lol, still like the move (despite the neifi rbi single). Dunn sucks!

and Pagan is better?!? Ohman isn't even going to start the bottom half . . .

WHY?!?

yep, on 567 homerun and 1620 rbi pace!

he's got great stuff and has pitched very well in his major league career up until tonight.

lol, someone may want to talk to cabrera about checking on runners.

buerhle is stupid.

bubonic plague? or perhaps Hanta Virus?

biggest friggin' idiots in baseball?

this ump has a small zone. surprising at this time of night.

juan uribe has two walks already.

hmmm, now I dislike Thome. first game curtain calls are ridiculous.

good grief - why would you go low and in to thome there? Just frickin walk him!

Cabrera's pulling an Andy Pratt. We'll see who wins this battle of the wills. I think the ball may be wet. Nice catch michaels.

well, I could see playing for a run in this weather, but why not let him walk you? I hate bunting forced runners to third though. the number of times it fails is remarkable.

meh, more rain. why would pods bunt?

ah, the game is about to restart!
