    When I watch sports, it is an escape for me, so these stories have little interest for me. The drama of the game is enough for me. I am not a stone. When I hear these stories, I'll listen. It's not that they offend or repel me, but on the other hand, I don't look forward to the made for TV version of these human interest stories. Also, once I have heard them once, I have littlle need to learn more about it. I felt bad about Lester when I heard about his cancer. That was different not just because he had a "B" on his cap, but because it threatened the young man's life. Due to the privacy concerns of Lester and his family, the reports of his progress against the disease were periodic and not constant. The amount of information we were given about this was just right. Had it not been for the wishes of his family, I think the press might have made it a 24-7 story overwhelming us and the news of the season. The press will exploit anything and anyone for a story.

    I thought the article was way too long. His father had a very sad life, but the worst parts happened before Joba (Justin) was born. He raised and nurtured his son while suffering from his disabilty. Is this a story because he was raised by his father rather than a mother? Thousands upon thousand of mothers and grandmothers raise and nurture their children without fathers while enduring poverty and sickness. Is it a story because his father is a Native American? If so, why? Is it some collective national guilt with regard to a race of people upon whom genocide was committed? I am interested in why people think this story is so compelling. When it comes to sports, I will admit that I have little interest in seeing human interest stories. There is enough drama in my own life, and if I need any additional human interest drama, I'll watch WE or Lifetime with my wife.

    If he opts out, it will be because of the shoddy treatment of the yankee fans. They booed Winfield and drove him out of town too. Isn't that right, Gom?

    Jacko, I am just curious. What is a "Diety"?

    Until I read that quote, I though the Yanks still had a shot to at least take this series to 5 games, but I am changing my opinion. If Captain Intangibles has been reduced to whining, it's over.

    KRod did risk whiplash the way he jerked around to see that ball leave the city limits.

    Great pics! Papelbon always looks scary crazy.

    The bug situation was a shame... a damn shame. Joba could have some serious insect bites. I heard that the trainer is giving him a Calamine Lotion bath. Joba's dad was seen crying in the stands. The human interest story continues.

    KRod has to get ahead with the curve. His fastball doesn't have enough movement
  12. a700hitter
    He has now!:clap:
  13. a700hitter
    If KRod can't locate his curve right out of the pen he'll be toast. He can't get by with the fastball when he is behind in the count.

    Who goes down on the Sox?

    Oh, okay. Clemens isn't a world class mercenary HOF Whore? He left you guys for a new Hummer after he carted away a tractor trailor load of Yankee gifts.
  20. a700hitter
    Squeezing him big time.
  21. a700hitter
    Clemens deserves more respect than this. He deserves to be referred to as a HOF Whore.
  22. a700hitter
    He gets him with the curve.
  23. a700hitter
    Full count to Lowell. he can't locate the fast ball
  24. a700hitter
    All curves to Lowell so far.
  25. a700hitter
    I don't think he gets a hittable pitch.
