No, I wasn't trying to say, "Hey idiot, he batted .264! Not .280!." My bad.

Cora hit .264 in 2004, but he did have a career high of 10 homeruns. His career high in batting avg. is .291 in 2002.

This is odd... "I would never go play for the Yankees" -Johnny Damon to MLB.com, 5-1-05

Funny article from DodgerBlues.com: December 23, 2005 Fruitcake sucks and so does Brett Tomko - Not that we care, but maybe someone should check on Frank McCourt to make sure he's not tied up and bound in his office. How else can you explain the Dodgers' sudden shopping spree? Ned Colletti continued dishing out McCourt's dough on Thursday, signing free-agent Brett Tomko to a 2-year deal worth $8.7 million. If Tomko is a $4 million dollar pitcher, than we're the John Steinbeck of the internet. It's terrific that Tomko pitched two great games against the Dodgers over the course of his 9-year career (one against Nomo in '97 and one when Steve Finley hit his slam in '04), but he's not any better than D.J. Houlton or, for that matter, D.J. Houlton's grandmother. Tomko has a career ERA of 4.52, and you can't blame it on spending time in the American League (where he pitched for only two seasons). If there's any positive with Tomko, it's that he eats innings (as opposed to Odalis Perez, who eats everything), meaning we'll see less of Jonathan Broxton and Franquelis Osoria. In other Dodger news, Norihiro Nakamura was officially released earlier in the week. Nakamura, who spent the majority of last season at triple-A Las Vegas, will be sorely missed by... by... uh... his translator, who's now out of a job. http://www.dodgerblues.com/content/news.html

Welcome.

Yankees-Red Sox, and Dodgers-Giants exchange. This is one weird offseason.

Miami wins by 5. Let's see how close I can get.

Baseball needs a salary cap, IMO.

No, not at all, since his last real "Steve Finley" season was 2004 anyway. But I am so scared that that grandslam might be reversed this year.

Not as much as when he was with Shaq. Oh wait, most of Kobe's numbers have gone up since last year. Never mind.

Kobe is the PG, SG, SF, PF, and C. He's also the head coach, assistant coach, GM, and owner. What a talented young man.

Well, scoring 62 points, you wouldn't expect him to have any assists as well. That's magic.

Bad trade for the Giants, IMO. EDIT: Although, they don't need Alfonzo because Feliz is their starting 3B anyway. EDIT again: Tomko has just signed with the Dodgers.

He's locked up through 2010, I think.

Not too sure yet. The Giants have Barry Bonds, so they will for sure contend, but they are just an arthritis away from joining the Rockies in the basement. The Padres aren't doing anything to improve themselves from last year. I think the D'backs have a chance, too but it's slim. The Rockies? 'Nuff said. Dodgers win the division (Please Nomah, stay healthy), while the Giants finish 2nd. And the division won't be as amazing as last year.

Whoa, thanks for the heads up. PS - Was that a payback?

Damn, Kobe is insane right now.

:shock:

TJ Simers is an *******. So is Bill Plaschke.

Did you mean, "NFL, NBA, NHL?"

Darrell Armstrong was fired for saying "How 'bout 'em Redskins" to the Mavericks crowd ($1,000). Hahahahahahahahaha. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AicovYa8IbsDYVSEiUJmIsy8vLYF?slug=ap-mavericks-armstrongfined&prov=ap&type=lgns

Let's see which teams you root for. Here's mine: MLB Dodgers Thank God for O'Malley. NHL Kings Goddamn Canadiens (1993 Finals) NBA Clippers Pathetic history, I grew up rooting for them anyway. I've been a fan of all these three teams since 1987. NFL None, 'till L.A. gets a football team. I used to be a Rams fan. College Sports Not really passionate about college sports, but I'll root for the Trojans at the Rose Bowl. Feel free to add more sports.

#5? I'm sure Hee-Seop will give up 5 for Nomah.

I know, we're slowly becoming the Boston Dodgers of Los Angeles.
