    Speed is not Pedroia's game.

    Two words of advice for you--- Sports Bar.

    It's great for Joe. The team will bust its butt to save his job, and if he wins, he guarantees himself a new contract.

    I think that a bee keepers hat would have been effective.

    If the price is right, he'll pitch again. Where and when are anybody's guess. Maybe the Mets will sign him next year.

    Steinbrenner must have had a flashback moment and he pulled his old rally the troops move out of his 1970-1980's Billy Martin bag of tricks.

    I didn't realize that. He must have become a total cancer in addition to pitching lousy for them to put Dusseldorf on the roster in his place.

    You and I are fanatics so we will watch. The networks need to get the casual fan for the playoffs. Your John Doe on the street could not naqme 3 players on both teams. There is nothing compelling about either team for the casual fan.

    Arizona vs. Colorado. The TV ratings will be in the toilet.

    What are the Joba Rules for Sunday? He pitched almost 2 full innings on Friday. I'd love to see him pitch the 8th instead of Mo. I guess that Farnsworth is buried deep on the bullpen bench.

    Geesh, could you hold off on the broom.

    Did they have dinner later?

    I was surprised that Jeter whined. He's not the whiny type.

    I'd like to see the Cubs come back and win the series. I'd like to see a Red Sox - Cubs World Series. That would be a real classic.

    Yeah, I probably would. I was on the way to Yankee Stadium in 1986 when the Yankee pre-game radio show cut to Suzyn Waldman in the Red Sox locker room with "tragic news about Wade Boggs." When they cut to Suzyn, she told the audience that Boggs' mother had been killed in a car accident. I exclaimed "thank god Boggs wasn't in the car." My friends called me a cold-hearted bastard. I replied, " Hey, I feel bad that his mother got killed, but she doesn't play third base and lead off." That about sums up how I feel about sports. If I hear a sad story while watching sports, I'll acknowledge that it is sad, but I have no interest in hearing it. It doesn't matter if the Red Sox are involved. I'd rather hear some intelligent debate about game strategy.

    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"?
  22. a700hitter
    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.
