treble

The A's also paid about $100 million less on players, too. And no one's saying that the Yankees should go the 'Moneyball' route, just that it might be a good idea to build up their farm system.

It'd be funnier if they were eating pretzels.

I was thinking about this at work today, but with Clemens, was that the first time a pitcher has started game 7 in one league's LCS and then started game 7 in the other league's LCS the next season?

Yes. Donald 'The Apprentice is the #1 Show on Television' Trump doesn't like people who exaggerate.

Montreal had a CBL team last year (well, for half a year, as long as the league was around), but had no home park and played all their games on the road.

I consider Mussina more of a douchebag for complaining about the Tom Cheek ceremony before a Yankees/Blue Jays game this season.

So, which arm and which leg did you have to give up?

How does playing a 7-game series make you 'old-school'? Hell, 100% of the World Series the Diamondbacks have played in have gone 7.

I guess they didn't paint the World Series logo at Fenway ahead of time this year.

God, that was one of the dumbest managerial moves I've ever seen. What was the point? For Pedro to show Schilling he's got a bigger dick? 'You can pitched on a fucked-up ankle? Well, I can pitch on one day's rest!' Christ, I'm going nuts.

I think the reason they may not be starting Wakefield is that they don't want to take Varitek out of the line-up and are afraid that he can't catch the knuckleball (which he showed in game 5).

Seems like Newsworld's showing repeats of this a lot during the week. The Douglas one was on tonight (I'm assuming more than once).

I thought 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' was last year's buzz 'word'.

If Mazzone was inducted, his plaque needs to be a hollogram of some sort which shows him rocking back and forth as you change the angle that you're looking at it from.

The problem I have with statements like this are that if terrorists are still likely to bomb America, than Bush, Cheney, et al. haven't done their job properly. You can't go out yelling 'The American people are safer!' and then raise the terror alert level and say stuff like 'we're still going to be bombed' and not expect to be questioned on it.

No matter how great a game is, if the team you're rooting for (especially if they're a team you live and die by) loses, then it's bound to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Also, while I'd prefer that my team won every game in a thrilling fashion and that every game was a classic, I'd take winning shitty games if it meant winning a championship. 50 years from now, it's not likely that the quality of games will be remembered, but just the image of whomever wins it hoisting the trophy in the air. Pretty sure that if the Red Sox lose game 7, their fans would rather have won a bunch of shitty games as opposed to 3 very good/great games just to force a 7th game. Sure, you can take some pride in your team being the first to ever do that and remember the games that they won fondly, but they don't give you a trophy unless you win the World Series. I wouldn't call anyone who's a fan of either team who'd rather win a shittily played game than lose a classic less of a fan than anyone else. Having a team to cheer for clouds your judgment.

Not anymore, anyway.

Man, that's sick just reading about it. Glad I've never actually seen it.

Newsworld's showing it right now.

I'm guessing Wakefield's the only one who could go.

Thoroughly Sexed Men love The Smart Marks.

I think someone like Tommy Douglas, who wasn't born in Canada but did a lot to shape what the country looks like today is more Canadian than Michael J. Fox or Jim Carrey, who left the country and (I'm pretty sure) are no longer citizens of it. They did go over something like this on the special, though, mentioning that someone like Brock probably shouldn't be on the list, as he wasn't Canadian and was only over here to fight the Americans and get back to England as soon as possible. I'm a little miffed they didn't mention he has a city named after him, too.

If broadcasters are being mentioned, then I'm going to have to say that there's no reason not to put Tom Cheek in there.
