26 Reasons to Hate Us

I think it will be pretty hard to prove he knowingly did it. It's pretty much common knowledge the he did steroids, but it's basically a he said/she said situation as far as his knowledge of what he was doing.

indeed.

Exactly. I don't think Sheff has ever cared what people think about him. He just wants to get paid where ever he plays, plain and simple.

Awesome...I really hope he does well this year so everyone who said he was a one year wonder will shut up.

Anyone watching Wang pitch vs. the Braves today? Wang perfect through 2 with 4 K's so far... edit: Great day for Wang, 3IP 1H 0ER 4K

Did you get a chance to watch it? How did he look?

3IP 2H 0ER 2K 2BB in 3 appearances..

I forgot about that. Was he the Commish when Inter-league play was introduced too? edit: nm, just saw post above.

I'm enjoying as well for now, but I am going to with hold my judgement until the end of the season when we see the (possible) effects it has on the players. Also, there haven't been any injuries yet. Wait till someone blows their season playing in this thing, and then see how many people support it...

95%? I doubt 95% of them have even met Selig... Selig isn't a great commissioner. He will be remembered for being slow to regulate steroids, and for this WBC debacle...

Don Mattingly, the Yankees' hitting coach, remembered that Puckett was the person who gave him the nickname "Donnie Baseball." "It started at a dinner in Rochester," Mattingly said. "From there it just kind of caught on." http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=260307110

Why would Wake struggle? Will the new catcher not know how to call a knuckle-ball?:dunno:

It is still early...I am sure they will bring someone in...

Wow...didn't see that coming. Shouldn't hurt the soxs much though. He was a terrible hitter. Who else is competing with Huckaby now?

Jeez sorry. Most of the time I get here and articles are already posted. Guess I won't be posting anymore stories...

Lick my balls. Last time I was here I posted an article that had nothing to do with the Sox. It was about the Mets and their new TV station. Not exactly what a troll would do.

But he also shouldn't talk s*** about what Selig said. Being sympathetic towards a HOFer dying does not make him an idiot. He's just doing his job, give it a rest...

At least wait until the body's cold and he's in the ground before you bash him...

What was Selig supposed to say? "Puckett was a really great player, but a s***** person. The world is a better place now that he's dead."

Dude chill I'm just jokin around. I haven't been around lately because there hasn't been much going on baseball wise. The hot stove came and went, and there wasn't a whole lot to talk about until spring training started. Give me a break.

And 2 were hit out of the park in the first inning ...but yes it is spring training. Just gotta get my shots in where I can.

sorry...didn't see it posted so I posted it. I saw Coco's debut was it's own thread, so I didn't think it would be a problem.

Beckett roughed up, but Boston beats Devil Rays Associated Press click this ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Josh Beckett refused to make excuses for a rocky outing in his spring debut for the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander, acquired from Florida in a seven-player trade during the offseason, allowed five runs in three innings of Boston's 8-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Monday. Even though it's only spring training, Beckett did not take the performance lightly. "It's not like I was just out there trying to throw my pitches. If I was going to do that, I would have just thrown a 50-pitch bullpen. When I'm out there, I'm trying to get people out," the 2003 World Series MVP said. "I wanted to get a feel for these guys [the Devil Rays], just like they wanted to get a feel for me. They felt me pretty good," he said. Julio Lugo and Jonny Gomes each hit a solo homer in the first for the Devil Rays, who also scored off Beckett on Carl Crawford's RBI double, Aubrey Huff's sacrifice fly and a wild pitch in the third. Lugo homered on Beckett's fourth pitch, and Gomes' shot to left field came on the first pitch to Tampa Bay's cleanup hitter. The three-run third followed a perfect second for Beckett, who allowed five hits, struck out two and walked one. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2356948

Mets nix YES SNY won't follow in path of Yankees-centric station Posted: Wednesday February 1, 2006 1:02PM; Updated: Thursday February 2, 2006 2:30AM This year marks the 20th anniversary of the New York Mets' last championship team. During the hey-day of the Bright Lights, Big City '80s, the Mets were comprised of bright, young stars, savvy veterans and a collective personality vulgar enough to rival the Bronx Zoo crew of the late '70s. Yet the team that was captured in all its profane, immature glory by Jeff Pearlman's page-turner, The Bad Guys Won, never lived up to its full potential, and was spent by the end of the decade. Subsequently, in spite of periodic success, the Mets have been more famous for their failures and their role as the Big Apple's "other team." But now, under the leadership of charismatic GM Omar Minaya, even-handed manager Willie Randolph and owner Fred Wilpon, the Mets have been forging ahead, once again, in a bold effort to recapture the back pages of the tabloids and the heart of what many still consider to be a National League town. The latest development in the rebuilding of the franchise -- which began last season with the Pedro Martinez and Carlos Beltran deals, and continued this winter with the additions of Billy Wagner, Carlos Delgado and Paul Lo Duca -- is the unveiling of SNY, the team's new flagship network. After the triumph of the Yankees' own YES network, it was only a matter of time before the Mets followed suit. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/alex_belth/02/01/sny.mets/index.html SNY....must stand for Second in New York

If leiter pitches for the yankees, we might be hearing 'see yaa' way more than we want to:angry:
