  1. What I find amusing is when the players say that spring training is too long, and it's mainly for the pitchers to get their arms going,"cause the hitters only need 2 weeks tops to get their swing back". Oh really?? Cause right now, my bronx bombers aren't hittin' for shit right now. I know they'll come around, but it's frustrating to see so early on in the season. :brooding:

  2. So A-rod wanted to bang his wife? Maybe Jose was feelin' just a little "inadequate" cause he couldn't get it up anymore, so his anger translated in his new book. He says he hates A-rods' guts, then turns around and says he might have done steroids.(No proof to back it up). Sounds like a jealousy thing to me.

  3. They're doing a contest in the Daily News. I had one but someone had already sent it in. I was thinking of calling it "The Velcro Throw". There's like thousands of entries on the sports blog (the blue screen) and I was getting bored trying to read through all of them. So went the Ctrl F and I wrote in velcro, and the shit came up..Damn!! Oh well.

  4. NEW YORK -- The "Goose" is on the loose in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

     

    A year after Tony Gwynn was a first-time electee, along with Cal Ripken Jr., the induction ceremony on July 27 in Cooperstown, N.Y., will again have a distinct Padres flavor.

     

    Rich "Goose" Gossage, who may be better known for his first tour with the Yankees (1978-83), was elected on Tuesday in his ninth year on the ballot. He'll join his former Padres manager, Dick Williams, on the stage behind the Clark Sports Center this coming summer.

     

    "This was very emotional, off the charts -- I can't even describe this," Gossage said about taking the phone call telling him that he was selected. "I've waited a while, but there isn't anybody I'd rather go in with than Dick Williams. He was a great, great manager, and I really enjoyed playing for him."

     

    Jim Rice, the former star of 16 seasons, all with the Red Sox, barely missed by 16 votes, as he fell 2.8 percent (72.2) below the necessary 75 percent to gain admission to the hallowed red-brick Hall on Main Street in Cooperstown. Voting trends suggest that he could very well break through in 2009, when Rickey Henderson will be an obvious first-time favorite. Rice then will be on the writers' ballot for his 15th and final year.
