Yes, Susan Butcher, she died in 2006, cancer. BTW she was born in Boston, MA

He's young, a bit wild at times and so far, appears he can get rattled easily. The expectations placed on him after his performance last year are incredible and he will figure out how to handle it. He doesn't want a bad rep, he just needs to settle down a bit and take some of the pressure off himself. He's a gamer, intense and if he does throw some chin music from time to time, so be it. At least he is not giving into hitters.

Sorry, must have been having one of my "sometimer" moments

IMHO the risk versus the reward here has yet to be seen in its entirety, but the fans sure haven't stopped buying tickets and merchandise that the MLB is making a s*** load from. If the fans were to suddenly revolt because the game is now "tainted" and stopped lining MLB's pockets, then the risk was not worth the reward, however, this does not appear to be the case, so I have to agree with you.

:dunno: This must be mistake from today's box score: NY Yankees IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA Hughes 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 Patterson 1.0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0.00 Igawa 2.0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0.00

Sean Was that an entire sentence? Did you intend to place a comma after the word "yet" in the first sentence instead of a period?

Gom You forgot the six month membership to the Brian McNamee personal fitness gymnasium

good move for the Pats at a good cost ($9 mil per avg). If they had slapped the franchise tag on him it would have cost the Pats about $7.8 Mil for next season. Reaching this deal deservedly rewards Moss for his accomplishments last year and assures Brady he has his number one receiver back for next season.

Sean Without Pettite though there will be no conviction of Clemens. So, while he may be all of those things you state, he will also be the main reason Clemens will get to spend time with the Piazza loving Mets fans in the Federal Pen. I wonder how Raja feels about changing positions from a pitcher to a catcher.

All is not lost if he doesn't resign with the Pats though, Isaac Bruce was let go by the Rams. I don't expect he will be on the FA market very long.

Let this be a lesson to you that the next time one of your kids is caught holding and they say they were just holding on to it for a friend, they may be telling the truth. I can see it now, kids will be pleading the Faulk with their parents.

das I believe the study was all inclusive of Jeter's career, not just 2007 or the 2007 post season. He is a career .309 hitter in the post season, IMHO, that's pretty good.

JB I guess it depends on your statistical viewpoint. If you are looking at strictly RF, he does "suck", but if you look at FPCT, he is definitely middle of the road in the AL.

anyone, regardless of their team affiliation, cannot argue the fact that statistically, Jeter is a middle of the road shortstop, defensively. However, offensively is where he makes the difference. You can't argue with his offensive numbers throughout his career. If he were a second baseman this discussion would never take place. What amazes me the most is throughout all of these postings I have not seen the word "intangibles".

Looks like Coco will make his intentions known: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7819848/Crisp-could-ask-Red-Sox-for-a-trade

Yaz I didn't know Sean and BBDoc were related!! Learn something new every day

The congressional hearings had nothing to do with obtaining the truth or getting to the root of the steroids in baseball problem. It was a showcase, in an election year, for a group of blowhards, who were in and out of the chamber all day, to express their opinion based on their party affiliation. Nothing more, nothing less. He who collects the most soundbites wins!!

They both are liars, I don't believe Clemens ever thought McNamee would turn on him, the problem is McNamee is as much a dirt bag as Clemens is and makes him discredible in a court of law. He did however succeed, IMO, in doing one thing, Clemens will never enjoy the riches in retirement that he could have enjoyed had this never taken place. McNamee on the other hand is viewed by most as the modern day David who has slayed Goliath. Here come the book and movie deals.

Seano I'm not defending either of these pricks, just believe if folks are going to go into detail about the lies of one there needs to be a counterpoint. Both of these guys are lying douche bags, that's why there will never be a conviction in a court of law. I am most concerned about Clemens' Kids. I can only hope they have not been introduced to dear old dads "training" regiment.

Neither of them are credible, McNamee or Clemens. You will also never know the whole truth because while Clemens is lying, McNamee as the star witness for the prosecution in a trial is a joke. I don't see the feds ever trying to prosecute Clemens, they can't clean-up McNamee's past and they would need to make him a credible witness to succeed. That boat sailed years ago in a Florida hotel swimming pool.

counterpoints McNamee lied to police about raping a woman in Florida He lied to federal investigators about having physical evidence regarding Clemens McNamee keeps changing his recollection of how many times he injected Clemens (count the needles you supposedly kept) McNamee puts Clemens at Canseco's house - can't be corroborated McNamee admired Clemens, took his money, and never wanted to hurt him - but, he didn't trust him???? McNamee, a former cop, the son of a cop, does not define a drug dealer as one who provides illegal substances to others for money. I'm curious what is his definition of a drug dealer. McNamee passed himself off as a doctor with a PHD. He obtained a "PHD" through a mail order house. He used likenesses of pro athletes to promote his training business, without authorization from the athletes. McNamee explained, he did not immediately supply physical evidence that would incriminate Clemens - soiled steroid syringes, needles and gauze - to the Mitchell commission or investigators because, McNamee said, he didn't want to bury Clemens too deep. McNamee said he produced the evidence only when, after the report was issued, he felt betrayed by Clemens, who secretly recorded a phone call between them and played it publicly. McNamee said protection of Clemens also led him to initially minimize the number of times he said he injected Clemens. Now, with McNamee feeling betrayed by Clemens and with more time for accurate recall, McNamee has raised his estimates from seven to 50. What difference would it have made how many times he injected Clemens, one time is enough in the court of public opinion to ruin Clemens' career and any induction to the Hall of Fame. This makes no sense. He's an opportunist. Why lie about Clemens and not Pettite and Knoblauch -- one possibility - he stands to make much more from falsely accusing Clemens than truthfully naming Pettite and Knoblauch based purely on their status as players. One statement from the hearing yesterday I agree with was when Congressman Foxx asked McNamee if he had a book deal and he stated no - she replied We Shall See.

It was a split decision IMO. Some congressional folks siding with Clemens, some with McNamee and one with Pettite. Nothing solved, much like the hearings of 2005. A waste of time, effort and tax dollars.

Fish Welcome Back! Glad to have another pinstriper besides Doc :-) here. BB

I believe Bartolo Colon is still unsigned
