after purging the roster of 'bad attitudes' after 2004, i can't see any way in which the cubs would add manny to their current roster of boy scouts. after all, removing all the bad seeds worked wonders this season.
i wonder if he'll be looking to close (or at least looking for closer money)...because he ain't gonna be closing in oakland. i'd be all for taking a shot at him.
thank goodness they found a way to get in ONE more comment about how great the cardinal fans are. now if we could just get seven comments per world series game about eckstein and suicide squeeze bunts.
it'll be tough in st. lou. but i have faith that clemens can beat morris in game 7 if he has to. I would love nothing more than St. Louis to win game six to get the hopes of cards fans around the world sky high. Then have Morris (my least favorite player in sports) get absolutely shellacked in game 7. It would truly make my week. would it make you feel better about the fact that carpenter's pitched well in the postseason after he sucked for you down the stretch in RK? :D
the brewers are in a great position. they have two position players (overbay and clark) that could be moved and replaced by young, cheap, capable guys. they've developed a pretty good young, cheap, productive pen, and they have sheets locked up.
he stepped out of the box, went behind the catcher and had an extended argument w/ the ump. it was a bad call, but edmonds should know better. nobody's going to bend the rules for him. Showing more patience isn't bending the rules, it was dumb for him to argue in the manner he did. He shouldn't have been thrown given the circumstances of being such a close game and the post-season. i don't know if i buy into the argument that rules change given the circumstances. maybe if edmonds would have gotten tossed more during the regular season, he'd have learned his lesson by now. :D
