    You don't think Game 2 of the 2005 World Series when Paul Konerko hit the game tying grand slam and Scott Podsednik hit the game winning HR wasn't the biggest moment in USCF? Or are we pretending the 2005 World Series didn't happen?

    When asked if he thinks PA will sign off on it: Enjoy 8-) I hate my life.

    I agree, I never realized how much negative influence one NON player could have over a team. Never in a million years would I realize how bad of a manager Dusty is. I feel bad for the Reds fans that brush off the Cubs fans portrayals of Dusty thinking that the Cubs fans are just bitter because their team sucked during his tenure. But they have to realize that the reason they sucked was largely because of Dusty. He influenced transactions, on the field moves, organizational philosophy, clubhouse attitude, public perception, EVERYTHING. And in almost all of those categories he influenced it very negatively.

    I don't know if its just the picture, but Kerry Wood looks like a cross between 2007's skinny Wood and the standard well fed Wood.

    Lets take a look at some old "friends" http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20080214/capt.8a9721fc67ea492296a9a68424888764.yankees_spring_baseball_fljj112.jpg http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20080214/capt.1606259f4b414d12964147a6531addd3.yankees_spring_baseball_fljj111.jpg http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20080214/capt.9dbbd13699f04c16ae372321ff0566eb.yankees_spring_baseball_fljj107.jpg Dodgers, Astros and a lot more Red Sox photos are up too. Still no sign of the Cubs. I wonder what the hell they are doing?

    Why is it no big deal if people like Aramis take part in [expletive] fighting and Michael Vick is massacred for dog fighting? I realize the differences, the legal issue, the fact that Vick was the ringleader in his case, but to say 'who cares' to cockfighting ignores the issue of why these 'sports' are illegal in the US - they are inhumane.

    I just don't understand why there is still a big commotion in Japan whenever a Japanese player comes over. There have to be like 20 guys now that play in the MLB. I know if it were American players going abroad, the novelty would wear off by now. But I sense it has a little to do with Japanese culture and Japanese pride.

    C'mon, there is so much less pressure on the road when your not dealing with all of the notoriously venomous San Diego fans.

    Phew, I was worried about what Mr. Dempster thought about the Cubs chances this year. J/K, great read as always Bruce.

    Mine aren't Edit: Damn!
  23. UMFan83
    No, I was arguing with the assumption that your statement was correct, which I do not believe it is. For the record, considering his superior defense (not arguable) and the likelihood that statistically he would put up much better power numbers with any team other than the Padres (this is my opinion based on statistical analysis but can be argued), I would put Greene just in front of JJ Hardy on that list, assuming that your list is in order and not just a list of SSs that are better than Greene.
  24. UMFan83
    Carlos Guillen is no longer a SS. I'd still put him at SS over Greene. Just like I'd put DeRosa at SS over Greene. OK well I will put Albert Pujols at SS over Greene too. Now hes number 15. Aww your so funny. Albert Pujols never was a MLB SS like Carlos Guillen was very recently. Carlos Guillen's poor defense doesnt make up for the fact that he is 10 times better on offense than Greene. OK, add ARod then. I still don't see how Greene's position ranking among other eligible SSs has anything to do with the fact that he would be a significant upgrade over Ryan Theriot. Well I'll agree with that. I was a big advocate of signing AROD this offseason and putting him at SS. You guys can keep putting these star players at SS to move Theriot down the list, but you are still moving Greene down as well so I dont get your point. So lets stop being smart asses and actually pretend like your knowledgeable at baseball. Who cares? If Greene is the 85th best shortstop in the world and Theriot is the 145th, Greene is a better baseball player and a better shortstop, and by more than a small margin.
