    Figured this would be the best thread to post this stat. ML Out Leaders: 1. Juan Pierre 532 2. Jimmy Rollins 521 3. Michael Young 512 4. Jeff Francoeur 507 5. Alfonso Soriano 493 The 532 outs Pierre made this year is also tied for the eleventh most outs made in a single season as per baseball-reference

    It had it's funny moments ("I was gonna go have a few beers with Babe Ruth and Randy Johnson's career.") but I agree with you completely in that it was a good tribute. And that is so true about the cliche's written by the sportswriters. I'm not trying to hijack the thread here but what I'm going to say pertains to this issue. One of the things that ticks me off is all the stories about remembering the death of Pat Tillman. I realize that it's unfortunate that he passed away but nobody would be saying a word about Pat Tillman if he didn't play football. I'm not trying to downplay the death of a US soldier in a war, but he would have been just another soldier. There wouldn't be stories in ESPN the magazine or Sports Illustrated commemerating what he did. They wouldn't have 15 minute pieces on SportsCenter talking about him. At least with Lidle there would still be a ton of news coverage because it was a plane hitting a building in New York as evidenced by the story being on CNN for a little while before it was reported Lidle was involved. I'm not trying to be insensitive but the media takes these things WAY too far overboard.

    Somebody made this point in another thread (I think) and it's not feasible to do this.

    My initial reaction is that Soriano doesn't want to play in Washington. I would think that is close to the best offer he is going to get from any team.

    Not sure if you were looking for a recap show or something but Matchday 3 is next week (Oct 17 and 18). The last matchday was Sept 26 and 27.

    Huston Street has not looked sharp in the postseason so far.

    He was also talking about how getting on base leads to runs.

    Bradley again. 7-5 Tigers. GO A'S!!

    Goodbye Oakland?

    An example of Lou Piniella's commentary tonight: "Blah blah blah. Blah blah. Blah blah blah blah."

    Verlander's breaking ball is absolutely wicked.
  15. soccer10k
    Chavez should have had that ball and an inning ending DP.
  16. soccer10k
    Come on Loaiza. Throw strikes.

    Sorry, I wasn't alive in 1969...the last time the Mets cost the Cubs anything. 2004? Victor Diaz... I prefer to think of LaTroy giving up that game with the assist to Mercker. Bingo. To me, the Mets are just another team. I hold no grudge or ill will toward them. I don't like them because they're from New York. I can't pull for a New York team.

    MILTON BRADLEY!!! 3-1 A'S!!

    Managers can't do a ton of good. They can do a ton of harm, though. Beat me to it.

    Are you saying NSBB is somehow inferior? No it's the opposite. NSBB is so superior to other sites that it assumes the posters here are smart enough to make sure the avatar is small enough before uploading it.

    So it appears this Verlander guy can throw the ball hard.
  22. soccer10k
    A's take the lead!!
  23. soccer10k
    Hahaha, and hitting second. And that girl with Orton in your sig picture is hideous. Jack-Goggles.
  24. soccer10k
    My thoughts exactly.

    Tim Kurkjian (sp?) said the Cardinals were gong to stick with the rotation they set before the series. Weaver will go in Game 1 tomorrow.
