    I predict that three games will be played against the chicago White Sox. I like to go out on a limb.

    I think ORS is probably too bogged down with home repairs. E-1 has done a pop-in from time to time, but his family life and job doesn't leave him the time. It happens.

    With Kuroda falling apart for 3 starts, that could spell the end for the Yankees. He has been the one dependable rotation piece on the Yanks. If he falls apart, they will quickly spiral into oblivion.

    5/75 is a fantasy. He is a lead off hitter who plays CF with elite base stealing capability. Essentially add 50--60 to his double category because that is what he gives you with his stolen bases. I think that he will get substantially more.

    Great game.

    Good job by Salty and Carp. now for Koji to help us bury our competition deeper.

    Oh boy, not good.

    Give him a participation trophy. LOL!

    Speed is nice to have. Ells outran that throw from LF.

    I don't think kids that age should be playing organized competitive sports. They are too young and their bodies aren't ready for it. They should just play with their friends under adult supervision or instructed by adults in a clinic type setting to teach them the fundamentals.

    Agreed again. Three in a row. There is no birth right to success in this country and no one should give anyone anything. If you have to earn success, it rings out the best in peple and you appreciate the accomplishment. I guess I have a new found appreciation for you VA after learning that you broke a bunch of bones competing and mixing it up with your brothers.

    How about giving them something to strive for? When i was a kid, I could perform all the athletic tests at the highest level except I couldn't do 2 pullups, so I got nothing. It pissed me off, and it motivated me to train myself to do pullups. My Dad gave me some training tips and the next year I was able to do more than the minimum of 2. I did enough to reach the highest award level. I think it was 7 to reach what they called it the Presidential level. I can still remember the pride that I felt from overcoming that hurdle. If I got an award without doing the pullups, I never would have pushed myself.

    True. Agreed again. Ditka had an interesting proposed solution to the concussion problem-- take the face masks off the helmet. Without facemasks, no one would lead with their head. I think a big part of the cause of the concussion problem are today's offenses. Every offense calls a bunch of plays for their wideout to go over the middle leaving them defenseless and exposed to blind side hits. In the 60's, only the big lumbering tight ends caught the ball in the middle of the field. Wide-outs caught the ball outside of the hash marks. QBs knew they could get their guys killed running patterns across the middle of the field. Today, everyone wants to see high octane passing offense and that offense is in the middle of the field. QBs get too many concussions today because they stand in the pocket forever checking off receivers. You have to get rid of the ball. I agree that in our lifetime we will see some form of flag or touch football in the NFL==maybe just for QBs at first.

    Agreed. Should not reward mediocrity --- sends a terrible message and teaches nothing about life and competition.
  15. a700hitter
    There is no protection behind him. Any pitcher that challenges his is a fool.
  16. a700hitter
    She's a Yankee fan? Skank!

    Myers is killing them in the cleanup spot in August. He may turn out to be a star, but he isn't playing like one in August.
  18. a700hitter
    No, Maddon will keep Rodney in his role. The belief that Maddon is some out of the box thinker genius manager is a fallacy.
  19. a700hitter
    It is especially remarkable because we haven't had a stopper in the rotation since Buch went down.
  20. a700hitter
    It's not so much that Soriano is getting praised. His performance speaks for itself. The kudos go to Cashman who got him from Theo for next to nothing and Teho is paying three quarters of his salary-- a very nice acquisition.
  21. a700hitter
    I think he was looking to get a DP and took his eye off the ball momentarily. It was a young player mistake-- trying to do too much.
  22. a700hitter
    They came up big everytime things looked like they were going bad and refused to go into a downward slide. They are a mentally tough bunch that has a strong will to win.
  23. a700hitter
    LOL! Two out of three would have been perfect.
  24. a700hitter
    I've put that in my review mirror. I wasn't debating the merits of getting Lopez. I don't even remember what other catchers were around at the time. I was just commenting on how he sucks. Everything isn't a debate about the FO. The guy sucked it hard. That's all I was saying.
  25. a700hitter
    Yes, but Soriano is going to die to die out with 30+ bombs. Only Ortiz on the Sox has a chance to surpass that mark. Saying that a guy with 30+ bombs died out is a little silly.
