  1. at one point he thought it would be a good idea to set fire to his arm. he may be dumb as a brick, but he can bring the heat and it appears that he's semi settled down.
  2. i wouldn't mind seeing walker play 150 games in 1 season.
  3. In August '89, Joe Girardi thought it was cool that my family and I enjoyed talking to him. . . so much so, that he talked with us for a good 15 minutes or. Rookies are cool. I met Boggs and Sandberg in the Albany Airport this past summer. Both were good guys. I got a chance to talk to Ryno for a little bit. . .then he was overwhelmed with stalkers like me.
  4. I'm for going back to a 2 divsion per league format (AL East, West NL East, West) The team with the best record is in the LCS. The other two play a 7 game series.
  5. .480? .4freakin80? Well, I remember back in John Baker's day, a rookie had to hit .520 just to get 2 ABs a week. .480 my butt.
  6. I think Ryne Sandberg and myself are the only 2 cub fans in the world who are rooting for the white sox.
  7. if hendry had half a brain, he'd can Baker and welcome Joe home.
  8. yeah, it seems like this could be some last minute "to do's" God has wrap up before he wipes the slate clean.
  9. cocaine is a powerful drug. . .. .
  10. kids should put all their weight on their back foot, keep their back elbow up, and take a darryl strawberry-like stride ;) The batter I used as an "example" to my little leaguers was paul molitor --- all movements he made in the batter's box were solely to make him a better hitter. I haven't seen anyone more efficient in the box.
  11. They are cocky and arrogant because they celebrated winning a playoff game? AJ even said in his interview he didnt know if it hit and wasnt cocky about it at all he just gave Crede credit for getting the hit. I know you guys hate the White Sox and its understandable but there was nothing arrogant about what AJ did. as soon as the game was over, AJ was interviewed and he said he thought the ball hit the ground. I say he had no clue. his first move was to the dugout, then he turned around and ran to first.
  12. i wonder if that ump typically makes a fist for a strike call? if so, then dr martin's stance is a good one.
  13. whether the ball hit the dirt or not isn't the issue. the ump clearly signaled out. it's the same out call that 5 year olds recognize in tee ball. the right thing to do is for MLB to pick the game up in the top of the next inning. will they? hell no, they'll puss out like they always do.
  14. Are you kidding? That was a GREAT call. Yes, I'm a Jet fan :D
  15. And that's a darn good reason! If my fiance would only get into the Cubs, it would bed so nice. She a Dodger fan so wouldn't be as gratifying as turning a Card fan but nevertheless... freudian slippage?[/b]
  16. it's only fitting that macias could get the last out of this pathetic season.
  17. that ump's facial expression is killing me. . . . hilarious
  18. lidge needs to get the book on murton. . .
  19. baseball needs a "normal" drug policy. For example, my bank has one of these "normal" policies. If your random test shows up as positive for drugs, you are fired. If that ever happened to me, sure, I'd be able to find work elsewhere, but not in banking. More than likely I'd have a tough time getting back to the salary I had at the time of losing my job. That being said, if a major league baseball player gets caught taking drugs, and the rules say the penalty is a ban from baseball, that means (to me) that you've been canned from playing baseball. You are free to work elsewhere. . . . just like a normal everyday average drug taking joe.
  20. the cards play all those night games, too. you can't win day games.
  21. i like congress' proposal. who gives a crap about a list. how hard is it for a ballplayer to understand "don't take anything that could jeopardize your career?"
  22. i meant, "aside from having too many white players, why do we stink it up at wrigley." ;) My mistake.
  23. Most teams that go .500 or better on the road have a great season overall. Not the '05 Cubs. You guys have any theories on why we stink up the joint on the northside?
  24. Good lord. I was in cooperstown and I guess I got caught up in the moment, but Ryno could really use some public speaking courses ;) He tends to take quite a bit of time between words.
  25. "Wrigley" Field. . . . .
