    i personally see the indians falling a little bit this year...probably just me though it sounded like a wishful thinking prediction

    douchebaggery at its finest. the author of nsbblol is the lowest kind of internet coward someone is just begging for a piece to be written about him, it's almost as if they feel left out. i can't wait for them too.

    seems like there should be a better choice, doesn't there?

    Bruce, don't follow that link. it's just a 12 year old level of potty mouth blog.

    Seriously, why do you keep saying Soriano's health is in question? Where do you find these things? I thought I read Lou commenting on Soriano not quite being over his leg injury. this is true. wrigley23 constantly makes it out to be something that will keep soriano from anything but a slow stroll around the basepaths

    Selection Sunday is March 16th. huh, i was almost positive that was the first weekend of the tourney. maybe i misread that that was the weekend of the CONFERENCE tourneys

    considering how much money they've invested in him, it's unlikely they give up on him any time soon, right? mistakes were made, but this isn't an organization known for admitting to them

    I wonder why this same principle doesn't seem to extend to journalists' use of "anonymous sources." Why is it not okay for a blogger to write anonymously (i.e, "hide behind a screen name") but it's okay for a newspaper columnist/reporter to print comments from "unnamed" or "anonymous" sources? If it's cowardly to criticize someone while using an screen name, isn't it just as cowardly for a journalist/reporter to criticize a public figure through the use of unnamed or anonymous sources? Yet, I don't see the same collective outrage from journalists regarding unnamed or anonymous sources (who generally make a journalist's life easier) as I do regarding anonymous bloggers (who generally make a journalist's life more difficult). because the journalist wouldn't get the quotes in the first place if they didn't promise anonymity to the source

    you might want to take a peak at the OPS rankings, then. aslo, stop bashing on Smammy, plz. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/stats/byposition?pos=2B&conference=MLB&year=season_2007&qualified=1&sort=25 your OPS rankings

    It has nothing to do with "prettying up" posts. It has everything to do with being able to follow the dicussion. When you are responding to posts two pages back, it would help if you would quote it to allow people to better understand your response. Also...I asked this awhile back in another thread and never got a response, so I'll try again. Where are you getting your rankings when you say that Roberts is the "4th best second baseman in baseball?" I ask so I can take a look at the rankings myself because I like reading stuff like that. No one's asking you to be a "professional message board poster," just to provide information to back up your opinions a little bit. Saying that someone is the xth ranked person in baseball at his position is all fine and dandy but does nothing for anyone if they have no idea where you're getting your rankings. It also doesn't help that you once stated he was ranked 5th and now you're saying he's 4th. There's no need to get all riled up when people ask for more information regarding opinions you post. i'm pretty sure he is looking only at OBP, in which case he'd be wrong

    that or you hadn't had enough to drink yet

    i love it when people come here with a chip on their shoulder.

    more like the Washington Generals

    all i refuted was your claim that Gallagher never pitched above AA, that's all. take a pill

    bringing in 40 year old veterans has worked so well for the Rays in the past. Remember the triumphant playoff runs headed by Boggs and Canseco?

    except that he has. but that's okay, just ignore the facts that don't support your opinion

    someone was on ESPN radio this morning and predicted an Indians/Cubs world series. it wasn't Neyer or Gammons, but one of the other ESPN talking heads. can't remember

    that sounds like pretty much every time i go out to eat

    my feeling is that Bruce simply gave Theriot the rope to hang himself with (statistically speaking). trouble is, thousands of readers actually believe in the gritty/gamer BS that Theriot's teammates/coaches spout every day

    cause it tastes good? oh, and i'll eat a salad just about any way you serve it to me...oil, vinegar, dressing, nude...just give me a damn salad. i've always heard you like having your salad tossed :blink:
