I'll take my chances with 10 Scratch and Match Its. The baseball draft moreso than any other professional sport is like is imprecise. You could do just as well throwing darts at a board of names.

There goes the FO master plan of rebuilding--- letting our stars walk for nothing but a couple of shots in the dark. I am not greatly troubled by this. I'd rather that they bought some scratch an match tickets and if they hit the big prize to sign an experienced star player.

It also leaves out that Buckner's biggest offense was not the rror but the fact that he set post season records for LOB. The Mets kept working around the key hitters to get to Buckner who came up empty time after time.

Comon guys and gals. We need two more. It's free and you can win cash. Thanks SFoC. Got the cash yesterday. I am going for three in a row-- a 3-peat. I am hoping for some more entrants to see if they can stop my streak.

They were lucky that they got as far as they did with a one man pitching rotation. The incredible thing to me is if they did give away game 2, they would be going to the World Series. I think they got a bit arrogant after the cake-walk of a regular season,the 3 game sweep of LA., and the game 1 victory over the Cards. I can understand the Mets fans being disappointed. Everything pointed to it being their year all year long, and then it was gone with the swing of Yadier Molina's bat. It was a Bucky Dent moment.

Welcome to TalkSox.

Why are you telling us this? Tell it to the NY Press and the booing NY Yankee fans and the Mike and the MadDog. They are the ones that have made this an issue and keep it alive. You should also write a letter to the petty jealous SS of the Yankees who despises ARod so much that whaen asked about the booing curtly answered: "I don't get paid to tell the fans who to boo and who to cheer." That's the supportive Captain Intangibles for you. Write him a letter and tell him to show ARod a little public support. He never will, because he has to be the king of NY.

Good article about the PC firing of Psycho. http://redsox.bostonherald.com/otherMLB/view.bg?articleid=162708

That's right. The Yankees probably would have picked him up.

LaRussa was stupid not to go with Carpenter. He has a very good home record.

I thought Ramirez of the Cubs was a FA this year..

As I said, it's no more unlikely than the Cubs parting with their ace in an even-up trade.

I did n't say they would want to do it, but I think it is about as unlikely as an even swap of ARod for Zambrano. I would like to see them part with Hughes and ARod for Zambrano.

One Pujols and a bunch of nobodies. This is why I equate draft picks with Lottery tickets. Big crap that we get draft picks for losing Damon. It's as meaningful as buying two scratch and win tickets.

How about ARod and Phillip Hughes for Zambrano.

Theismann said "don't get conservative and run the ball" and they did. Leinart was in control moving the ball with the pass.

RAckers misses the 40 yard field goal, and the Bears remain undefeated.

Grossman has been terrible tonight.
