    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.

    There is no protection behind him. Any pitcher that challenges his is a fool.

    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.

    No, Maddon will keep Rodney in his role. The belief that Maddon is some out of the box thinker genius manager is a fallacy.
  13. a700hitter
    It is especially remarkable because we haven't had a stopper in the rotation since Buch went down.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. a700hitter
    LOL! Two out of three would have been perfect.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. a700hitter
    jennings absolutely butchered a ball for the Rays in the late innings.
  21. a700hitter
    Enough with the runs tonight. Save some for tomorrow.
  22. a700hitter
    He hit 2
  23. a700hitter
    Soriano with 2 more HRs tonight for the Yankees. Nice pick up by the MFYs. Reynolds went deep and ARod too. All of a sudden they are hitting a lot of HRs. Pieces of garbage didn't help us much against the Rays.
  24. a700hitter
    He got optioned to the minors today.
  25. a700hitter
    Tampa is leading the Angels in the 7th.
