Good to see BC return to the finals in Denver this weekend. after drubbing North Dakota 6-1 last night they now face the Irish from Notre Dame for the ncaa champioship after the Irish took out #1 seed Michigan 5-4 in OT. The Irish were up 3+0,blew the lead,took it back at 4-3,blew it again and finally closed the deal. Great hockey the home team looks poised to capture the big one after losing the last 2 titles in the final game. Saturday night 7pm

its safe to say to say that the 4 worst teams on paper before the year began were kc baltimore florida and sanfranciso as of this morning? kc in 1st baltimore in 1st florida in 1st san fran last...... early in the season teams are reluctant to over work their starters and many are just getting acclimated to the weather up north. the hitters tend to start warming up mid month so the 1st 3 weeks are a crap shoot. what i did notice was that KC was a short favorite at home last nite against ny. the last time kc was favored over ny john mayberry was playing 1st base for them and willie wilson centerfield. its not that the public thinks kc is all that,hardly,the reason that ny was a short dog is that the public has no confidence in them against the worst franchise in sports not called the clippers.

what ever happened to a jones? coming into last year he was staring down the barrel of a 9 figure deal but his production just disappeared. hes still young but last year he barely cracked .200 with him,nomar and j schmidt they may have the most expensive flops in history.

there is so much luck involved in bringing a guy from high school into the majors. health issues,head issues,dirty girls,subsatance abuse,homesickness really you need a lot of luck along with the natural gifts

tek has had no leg issues that i know of he missed part of a season in 02? i think when he busted his elbow up but outside that i dont recall him missing any time to knee or other leg injuries which generally spell doom for MLB catchers. as bill pointed out his batting avg is where it was 10 years ago so there is no decline to speak of. 3-7 more years? i lean toward the 3 more than the 7 because nobody can predict when he will fall apart and lets face it,catchers do breakdown,some over time slowly,others all at once and i figure when tek does go he'll be too proud to hang on playing the backup role.

rob you and your 160 posts arent qualified to discuss baseball on the same level as J-Bill. and for the record i havent seen him insult anyone,hes been nothing short of polite to each and every member of this panel. why dont you try and read what the man has to say and perhaps you can learn a thing or to. im a huge fan and have been since i could say ""Joe foy turd base"" yet i still admire what Bill brings to the table. or are you a girl? if youre a woman that would explain quite a bit

moose looked serviceable against tampa but opening night he had nothing its difficult to see him finishing the year with anything under a 5.5 era and if he can produce those #s and give them 180ip? he may win 14-16 games ive said this before ny and boston best get their collective s*** together because the a.l is too good and balanced for me to think of a giant winning streak by either club. 5 in a row? sure 22-25? doubtfull

his appraoch to the bean ball was the most original and unique in history

do i need to get started here? i can go from jeff the strutter sellars to whislin jackie guttierez to juan bustabar to phil plantier to sam horn all the way back to my all time bust out,the immortal and catatonic rogelio moret that my friends is a tragedy that should be told to the world

memphis is deep consistant and balanced ucla is offensivley limited

neither beast is playing well both teams appear flatter than a 4 day old beerball both teams got toasted by their back ups at 1st our power guys are dormant and the table setters who can run arent on yet ells is under 200 crisp is 235 duddy is 250 damon is 111 jetsy 211 and cano under 100 this will all change of course but the old days of running over the east are long gone for these clubs toronto is legit and tampa can impress as well these guys best pull out of it cause running together 10-12 game streaks is going to be a bitch this year

sadler knocked up troy olearys wife where is my boy jeff spinelli from revere high ? i used to watch him when he was in high school and he was a cant miss stud of course his father got deported when he was a kid and he found his way over to the admiral hill and brandywine projects far too often and became a heroin addict as well as a roid boy...threw low 90s in school with a 12-6 deuce that would make your knees buckle in the stands.. last i heard he was working in the chelsea market produce area sad story no juan pena cause he was pre 95? john curtice?

pencil tek in for 250+ 15-17hrs 68-75 rbi and another trip to the playoffs. hes not to be confused for bob montgomery mark sullivan or tony pena for that matter. you can almost hide his bat in our lineup if lowell has another great year. if he dont we may need a few hits out of him that matter. he can look bloody awful at times and we would like a reliable guy who can catch 50 games for us in lieu of wearing tek down.

calvin schiraldi bill buckner bob stanley rich gedman live and donnie moore does himself in? i still see that fat wanker rolling her arms behind home plate. worse thing i ever saw in my life,worse than the guy getting out of his car in front of the burlington mall and getting dusted by a 12 wheel box truck

bucholz has to get a chance to start the guy threw a no no last year and had an era under 2 in his limited appearances give him a pop,if he aint getting it done then we got bad bart on the blackstone river waiting to go. lester is a gamer i just want him to bring a similar effort against teams with payrolls bigger than my 7 man department... i do like him and love the concept of an effective lefty in the fold and also agree that he is very likely ahead of bucholz in the rotation.

mj do you actually watch these games? mussina had nothing,absolutely nothing rios had a hr hauled in by damon,next month that ball is 10 rows deep into the stands. he battled and got thru 5 but honest to God he had absolutley nothing its a real pleasure to see has beens hanging on by a mere thread in the bronx

i saw wade millers only victory in a sox uni against the braves on a friday night. colons a small investment with huge potential imagine getting 150ip of 4.00 era ball from this guy? what a gigantic boost that would be.

no beef outside a tepid offense and the 12-15 lobs yesterday. i dont get too excited beating AA teams which is what they did this week. winning is what matters and they took care of business as i said oakland will battle baltimore and kc for the worst record in the a.l this summer

yea, but at least the name Montreal Canadiens and that logo strikes an emotion in you, unlike a team in Tampa Bay or Columbus thats what im talking about hockey should make you intense enough to want to punch your grandmother in the mouth before they drop the puck. something about the skipjacks and the predators and the california that just isnt right. phil lynch,a former gallery God and a former screw at the house of corrections in Billerica threw a husband and a wife down the lodge stairs at the old garden when the old quebecois got up and screamd GEAUX MONREALLLE....ALLES-TU LES HABITANTS....and the wife looked at lynchy with that look....""what the f*** you lookin at yank""...she went down on her ass but the hubby hit every concrete step on the way down,then security got them and that is just the worst situation to be in....bleeding from every orifice in your face with a french accent on your way to area A or the somerville pd lockup to spend an evening in the drunk tank with the locals..... anyone remember this game 1976 sunday night in the spring and the bruins and c's tied 2-2 with the b's having 2 goals called back?? lafleur scored God I hated that prick but loved to watch him play hows peter mahovolich doing these days? he was a decent center but a jerk off his big brother was a legit superstar

3-1 against a team that may overtake kc as the worst in baseball. christ they suck see that lineup? they couldnt score 4 on me and i havent thrown a ball in anger since carter was president

nice is freddy still tearing up dodger nation?

i'll pencil him in for 17-20 wins if he gets his 200ip then i'll enjoy him in october when he melts like a popsickle in august

agreed i recognize some of the names is doug riseboro still in the fold over there? ha i root for them for no other reason than i like to see the teams i recognize win when the stanley cup arrived in orange county and st pete did anyone notice? have the blackhawks folded yet? is billy ray still their coach? have they reversed the muldoon curse?

i dunno i always had a thing for janet wu and i had a soda with virginia cha after being interviewed outside boston u med center when my son was born. i would love to eat chinese this afternoon for that matter. i may have to take a ride over to kneeland street Ohhh samgun make a chinese food schwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeng american eastern women can be over rated on video but the reality?? i havent jerked off in public in quite a while,3 months anyways keep me on this topic and i'll be getting buzy how are ya ellie mae? i miss y'all terribly tell rico and your sis in law sean patrick sends his best i think im heading down that way for a senators game some time in june as i love the look of that ballpark... arent you 1/2 asian?

based on records and points(you get a point for losing a tie game now??) the east is better
