Youk Of The Nation

19 out of 22. Missed Carl Everett and Shea Hillenbrand. Carl Everett is a giant douche though. I don't feel too bad.

"We want Werth money."

I'm not reading through 12 pages. Has anyone mentioned the possibility of Varitek retiring and managing the team?

:dunno: Too subtle, I guess.

Watch it. Child molestation is nothing to kid about.

He's probably telling his captors right now, "Tell them to get Pujols or you'll kill me".

I just read a timeline article on the scandal. They took his locker room keys away. This is like finding out a guy dismembers prostitutes in his basement and locking him out of his house. "Ha! Try doing your dirty deeds now, you son of a bitch! We took the key in the fake rock by the front bushes too!"

That has to be one of the worst things I have heard in a long time. I don't follow college sports, but I know that in the past championships and awards have been retroactively taken away from schools and players. Is there any chance any awards given to this guy specifically can be taken away? It's terrible that everyone involved in this isn't facing the possibility of jail time. Covering something like this up is nearly as bad as committing this crime yourself. Actually, scratch that. It's worse, in a way. You are a person who would never do something like this, (hopefully), mainly because like most people you find it disgusting and despicable. Instead of doing the legally and ethically correct thing and reporting this guy to the police (or even the slightly incorrect thing by beating this person to within an inch of death with the nearest blunt object), you assist in 'making it go away' for the safety of...what? Your school? Your sports program? Your own reputation? College sports programs get away with a lot in this country, it's one of the many reasons why I don't follow them on an entertainment level. Every single individual who has the unmitigated gall to call themselves a person involved in this cover up deserves to be vilified every second of every day for the rest of their lives. Arguably the only thing as bad as a crime like the one that occured is endorsing it, whether by action or indifference.

If I had a choice between staying with the masked gunmen, locked in a windowless basement with nothing but a pile of straw and a bucket, and going back to the Nationals, I'd have to think long and hard before I decided.

Wow. That was one hell of a game.

Yeah 91 was one of the best overall series. Obviously I don't remember it personally, being 4 at the time. But a700, he had to be at least 80 or 85 in 1991, so he's probably the one to ask.

This is fantastic.

Wow.

...Kyle...Lohse?

I'm surprised Tony LaRussa doesn't just keep sending Albert Pujols up to bat in a variety of disguises. Though I suppose he'd run out of pinch runners pretty quickly.

And here we go again maybe?

Well, that was anticlimatic

No way

If the Rangers win, Napoli has to be MVP.

Go Rangers!

I was really hoping it would be Milwaukee. It would have been nice to have two teams that hadn't won a Series yet. Then we'd be guaranteed a first-time winner. Hell, even the Tigers would have been cool because they haven't won since 84. I just wanted the Cards, Yanks, Phils, and D-Backs out so we wouldn't have another team in that won since 2000. I like variety. I was hoping for a Rangers-Rays ALCS from the beginning and I wanted Milwaukee to win it all. Oh well, go Rangers.

I want it to be Detroit but my gut says Texas.

AJ Burnett isn't even a hinge, he's more like a hastily assembled patch of duct tape and screws on an old screen door.

That's not entirely true. Jim Tracy jumped from the Pirates to the Rockies, that's about the same level as coming straight from college ball.

Something something lots of puns about Texas something. I'm pretty tired. Welcome.
