I have maintained from the beginning that he will be with the Twins when they break camp to come north. I'd be very surprised if he got traded. Shutdown aces are the rarest of commodities. You'd have to knock their sox off to get Santana.

I was on the road to Boston when the tickets went on sale.My daughter was in the virtual waiting room for 4 hours with no success. The phone lines were busy all day Saturday and even Sunday.

How about this one that I heard a couple of years ago: "Why is that wall so high?"
-
I looked up the teams, and I still don't know. What's the answer?
-
Would giving the team names give it away?

Bart Starr, Bob Griese, Roger Staubach, John Elway, Troy Aikman.

Sox re-up Javier Lopez for 1 year
a700hitter replied to Cocos Disciples's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
One of the things that was valuable about him also was the flexibility the team had because he still had options. They could send him down and bring up other needed parts. Will he have options left this year? -

Welcome to TalkSox.

If he said he'd give his right arm for Bush to win, would you have thought he meant it? I think he was engaging in a bit of hyperbole. I don't know anyone who felt sorry for Bonds, including those who cheat on their taxes and their wives.:dunno: He does a lot of good things and he said he'd bring the title to Boston and he delivered, so I guess I am blind to his annoying qualities. He could take a big stinking dump on the mound and I'd cheer him as he walked to the dugout.

T.O. has gone after his own QB, but he did play the Super Bowl with a broken ankle. He gets props for that. I have no problem with what T.O. says. I think he handled his business negotiations with the Eagles very immaturely. Bonds is just a nasty guy. I don't have a problem with what he says, but with his openly hostile attitude. Curt's a blowhard, but overall he has a positive attitude.

Welcome aboard.

Schill, says what is on his mind without any PC filter. It's what makes him interesting, and why I am always listening when he has the mike. If he criticizes the personal lives of other players that's okay, because he always stands up and takes the heat for what he says.

Other than Rickey Henderson, who else will become eligible next year?
-
Goose definitely deserves induction, but I am certain of this. No GM at the time would have considered traded Jim Rice in his prime for Goose in his prime. Rice belongs too. He was the bigger star of the era.

Clemens probably destroyed any chance at winning a defamation action against McNamee when he played the tape. As a public figure, he must prove that the statements were untrue and that they were made with malice. Showing that the statements were untrue would be difficult enough, but after that tape it is obvious that McNamee did not have an Axe to grind with Roger and that he felt very bad about giving him up. The only shot Clemens would have had was to try to establish McNamee as a disgruntled former employee with a grudge against Clemens. The defamation suit is dead. I am calling it here and now. McNamee would have to state that he was told that he didn't give up Roger he'd go to jail.

I was aware of those stats. In one of those years, he had 0 HRs. He had more than 1200 ABs in those 2 years so his HR/AB ratio was about 1/300. That's Jaason Kendall numbers. I wasn't aware if he had been rumored to be using PEDs.
-
Rice's well-deserved reputation as the most feared hitter of his day among his peers defies the stats. No one who played during that time or who followed the game would put Ken Singleton (a very good player), Jack Clark, Ron Cey (lol) or Dave Kingman (lmao) with Rice. How Kirby Puckett could be in the Hall, but not Rice completely baffles me. Puckett wasn't even the dominant lead off hitter of his day. Rickey Henderson had that honor.
-
I disagree. Rice was a fearsome hitter with legendary power, and he did not have a home run hitters swing. He had a line drive short swing. He could run very well for a big man, which is why he had a lot of triples, and he was very underrated with the glove. He was overshadowed in the field by Fred Lynn who was a very graceful CFer and by Dwight Evans who was one of the great RF's of all time. Let's not forget that he followed one of the all-time great LFs in Yaz, and that Yaz still played some LF after Rice joined the team.
-
He would not have been tampering if he had asked him: "why did you lie about me taking steroids?"
-
Hopefully, this will be Jim Rice's day. Clemens can screw himself some other day.

I am amused by TV and Radio commentary that says there is no evidence. It just one persons word against another. Eyewitness testimony is very strong evidence. If Kato had seen OJ kill Nicole and Ron, he'd be in jail today. On TV and Radio, I have heard this referred to as hearsay. Testimony by an eyewitness to the acts in question is not hearsay. Eyewitness testimony by someone that knows you is particularly strong. He had no motive to get Clemens, unless it can be shown that he was pressured to name Clemens. He was pressured to tell the truth, and he feels bad that he turned in a friend, which makes the evidence more compelling. The investigators wanted full and honest disclosure from him. They certainly didn't want him making false accusations. It's not like this is a murder case where the cops are under pressure to arrest and convict someone. Clemens is 100% guilty. I guess to paraphrase Johnny Cochrane: "Give me one Clemen's fan on the jury and I'll get him off."
-
So being on drugs can help reduce a sentence for illegal dogfighting? Well, that makes sense.
-
He never accuses him of lying, because that would be slander. His attorney no doubt coached him not to call him a liar. Bonds must be very interested in watching this. If Clemens succeeds, it will open the doors of the HOF for Bonds, and if Clemens goes down in flames, Bonds is no worse off than he already is.
