still my favorite giant, this shit is just how it is in sports these days--gotta accept it

when shockey dropped that pass and smiled i interpreted it as more of a 'wow, unreal' like when ur playing poker and someone calls you with a stupid hand and beats you on the river and you just can't do anything but laugh

you know what i mean. the last year of a coach's contract never counts in giant-land, im talking about an actual long-term extension or some type of vote of confidence--not a 'let's put off the decision till next year' one year extension

his day will come when he can sign with whatever team he wants, he didn't HAVE to give his first year (or whatever) of free agency away. he knew what he signed up for when he signed that deal

looks like he just wanted some time off, he didn't count on reese being as good at the PR game as he proved to be this past week. im sure the seattle fans never stayed mad at walter jones when he was doing this for three years straight

no one is better than a-rod, but take a look around the rest of the league. there aren't that many good 3b around and if a-rod leaves you'll join the rest of us 95% of the league who doens't have a great player at the hot corner. wilson betimit could start for quite a few teams at 3b, obviously you'd want someone better next season, but that goes for most positions on most teams. as far as your comparisons go, cairo was a starter at the beginning of his careerwith the cards and betimit has always been a utility man--cairo wasn't a utility man till he came to the yanks. a better way to look at it would be by number of at bats, not number of seasons. no one's saying that betimit is a great player or anywhere near arod, but he definitely has more pop than cairo

honestly i dont know if i could pick 10 who are better than tyson, so maybe even top ten. no order: ali marciano lewis frazier dempsey patterson holyfield foreman im sure im missing a few people. i wouldn't put lennox lewis in the top ten though, i like tyson better

he didn't do much in free agency and it's too early to say anything about the draft, but so far i like reese too. but the truth is that promoting an assistant gm and refusing to make a decision on coughlin (extend him or fire him) shows me that they have no balls

im not high on gabbard either. i saw him start against cleveland and he got lit up and blew a huge lead (i think it was 6 runs or so)

im surprised you aren't psyched to see joba up here

now it's official!

who cares what john mara thinks, i've seen no indications that this team's future is in the right hands.

i dont know, how much better could the red sox be? they already had a really good bullpen edit: i think they're the best team in baseball with or without the trade

we own the dodgers bullpen, now we'll just own them some more. and everytime we hit proctor i'll thank joe torre

sounds more like a brighton beach name

i saw gabbard's start against cleveland and i really wasn't impressed at all, but that's just one start. they kept delcarman which was smart--i couldn't believe those rumors about the sox considering trading him

hughes will start saturday, my guess is chamberlain will be here thursday or friday

i love the mackiawack deal, and ensberg's worth taking a flier on, maybe he'll provide some pop off the bench. ledesma was ok last season, im surprised he's been this bad so far this year, maybe we can make him into a long man.

he liked minnesota a lot and is disappointed he has to leave. he didn't say anything that would indicate he has any problems with the mets though

i doubt the braves have any intentions of resigning teixeira, but they get him for 1.5 years, and all it cost them was some no-name arms and a top prospect who was expendable

that's right, we've been the more mediocre franchise--you better recognize

i couldn't care less if a-rod stays with the yanks. wilson's a pretty good player and there aren't many good 3b in baseball--welcome to the other 95% of the league if arod leaves

i dont know, the sox dont have the worst bullpen in the world, and dye hasn't had that great of a season. besides, where does he play? are the sox going to bench someone making 15 mil? the only explanation i can think of is that ortiz is still hurt and wont be getting better anytime soon so dye will end up dh-ing

guess the gagne deal's in place, plus they're calling up chamberlain. betimet could be a-rod's replacement too should they choose not to sign him

the one thing i think is kinda gay is that strahan is intentionally calling coughlin when he knows coughlin is asleep or at practice. that's weak, if you're going to do something like this you have to be a man about it
