Funny thing is, he used to be a lot worse!

There is no way the Mets trade Milledge; and Kazmir is the perfect example why not. Youth and controllable salaries are soooo valuable. One reason for the Mets success now and in the near future is a 500k each all star left side of the infield

no one wants to go there and they and USC is not going to let them go from 100k to 60k. Bad plan. so far LA has come up with 15 million which pays for 10 urinals and a hot dog stand.

Last I heard, LA did not have an NFL worthy facility. Doesn't that have to happen first?

i guess all the eagles are clean, because none of them are getting any better.

Little known fact: Victor Conte (of Balco fame) played bass for Tower of Power.

and yet, the man speaks the truth: USA TODAY; .....Jeter is well aware he's only one of two rookie phenoms playing shortstop in New York, the other being the Mets' Rey Ordonez. Jeter and Ordonez played against each other in the minors the past two seasons and are on friendly terms. Ordonez is often likened to Cardinals great Ozzie Smith. Says Jeter about Ordonez: ''I don't think you can say he's as good as Ozzie Smith, or he's better, or not as good. They're two different players. I don't try to compare.'' While his hype didn't approach the Second Coming-nature of Ordonez's, Jeter heard his share of plaudits coming into the season. His quick start accelerated the praise, but he says he pays it no mind. He won't even consider what he's proudest of thus far. ######################################### Newsday: The Mets had this kid Rey Ordonez make his grand opening in New York on Monday. The Yankees had this kid Jeter make his grand opening on the road here yesterday. They are shortstops, and from there come some of the sweetest of dreams. For two decades we had the argument over egg creams: Who's better, Reese or Rizzuto? Everyone had his own answer. Now, if everything develops and free agency doesn't pull the thought apart, we ought to have Jeter and Ordonez at the center of the debate for a long time. Ordonez is 20; Jeter is 21.

Did Beane say he would trade Zito for Milledge? I find that hard to believe. Not unless the A's are 10 games out at the All Star break. Milledge has a lot of holes, potential... but a lot of holes.

if coke, why not amphetamines too, users would include hank aaron, willie mays, and a large percentage of every athlete under the sun. it would be easier to asterik the straight ones.

ok. but bonds and griffey were hyped nationally and for a long time. milledge seems to be local and recent. also, bonds grew up in upper middle class surroundings and try as he might, it was hard for him to perpetuate the 'gangsta' look that milledge carries off well. he reminds me more of a dontrelle willis type.

lets not get carried away.

I saw it and enjoyed it, even as a Giants fan. Baseball needs more of that.

Thank you, Mets, for ending Benitez's reign as Giants closer. I think today sealed his fate.

....and mrs. dotel is smiling.

and a giant yawning sound is heard throughout the land.

oh i thought we were getting a yoyo.

done! what's a duncan?

going to the new board, slaw????

no you're right. you guys are so much better. i'll be happy if we take one game. and you don't even have to face schmidt.

Remember what Cain did to you guys last month? :evilgrin:

and he has really forgotten since April

The HOF is run by the MLB, yes? They were the ones who allowed this power surge to go on for the good of the game. If they get high and mighty about it now, it's a joke.

An ex player said "Barry Bonds is taking a bullet for this whole generation of baseball players." The guy deserves a medal for the crap he's been taking lately. Don't believe it? Why aren't all the other players crying foul? Conspicuous by their silence.

currency said the same thing.
