sorry daver.. uhhh i mean maury........ :fyou OUCH!

But we are still missing the first and second rounders! C',mon guys! First rounders always take longer. hes gonna get signed up dont worry about that. Sweeney (2nd) is gonna be a tough one from all i have read. IF we can somehow sign all 15 of our first 15... this is gonna be one hell of a draft. I was guessing that since not one word has been said about him signing. At least Anderson has been out and about and talking to us. Has Sweeney even done that much?

Frank should make the HOF right now. I think it is too early to call him a first ballot guy. Depends on if he can put up some numbers for a few more years, or if April and May turn out to be more typical of the rest of his career. The guy is in a great hot streak for the last 10-15 games, and it will be interesting to see if he carrys it the rest of this year, or if it is one month in 6 like last September was to his 2002 season.

BTW since Rowand has been back he has gone 2-6 with that 3 run HR raising his BA about 20 points, his SLG about 60 points, and his OPS about 70 points. So far so good for Aaron.

He would have if the offense had gotten him enough runs...

I think that one day cemented that core group of posters to really stick together. That was one of the funniest things ever.

Can you paint a bullseye over that image and paste it up in the clubhouse?

Man I wish I could have been alive to see a world series!

But we are still missing the first and second rounders! C',mon guys!

Rios and Ordonez both had 7 points. Rios with the tie breaker by only making one out vs Ordonez who had two outs and a CS. The only picker was Juggernaut, congrats!

I think Rocco Badelli is going to be the Rays rep. Just a hunch.

It looks like Wright vs Lawrence could be a huge game in this series.

Who are our real prospects down there?

The adjustment they made in his swing was they dropped the starting position of his hands about 5 or 6 inches. He was starting them right around his shoulders, now he is starting them letter high. It took that long loop out of his swing, now everything is hit on a line.

Hey good luck man, I hope everything works out for the best!

No need to put a disclaimer on this. If they can get through what I've said in this thread, they can handle what you've said in this thread. I've outdone you majorly, hun!!! NOBODY can beat what I said in this thread. But thanks for trying! Meh, it was for the children Speaking of that... how young is the youngest one of us? I think someone is just graduating 8th grade

THE GREAT AND MIGHTY OZ HAS SPOKEN!

Mark still has some stuff to say...

Hey Arne you can only take a player twice in a week, you already have picked Crede twice!

I thought JM made the move for Marte, then Alou countered with Aurilia to hit for Bernard? That is exactly what happened. I didn't see, I was just basing it on what I read in other posts. If that is the case, then Manuel could have done nothing else. You can't change pitchers again. Marte had to pitch to Aurilia. Like I said on 2 other threads, this is what I would have done had I been JM. Alfonzo at bat, runners on 2nd and 3rd, I believe. Colon pitching, Marte warming up. JM HAS TO KNOW THAT AURILIA IS ON THE BENCH. Bring in Marte against Alfonzo and his .214 average. Sometimes you should be able to count on Marte for a K. If Aurilia comes in to PH, you have 1B open to walk him. If Aurilia PHs for Bernard after Alfonzo gets out, he's faced his one batter and you bring in Tom Gordon to have the precious Righty-Righty matchup. So many more possibilities would have opened had JM put in Marte ONE batter earlier. I didn't have a problem with Marte facing Aurillia. Until that HR righties were hitting a total of .104 against Damaso. I had a big problem with no one being ready against the 3-4-5 hitters of the Giants line up with a two run lead in the 9th.
