    Kirby Puckett Dies

    It should be noted he had family members died at very young age. Two brothers around 50. His father and at least two uncles died in their 50's. Even him mother was only in her early 60's.

    Kirby Puckett Dies

    I think it also just depends on where and how bad it is, my mother was hardly fit when she had her stroke, but she made it through. Since someone was looking for more information on strokes here's the American Stroke Association's site. http://www.strokeassociation.org/ I also hope the stroke jokes in General Chat end There's some speculation that it was a brain aneurysm that killed Puckett. And that Puckett was essentially dead when he hit the ground. They kept him on life support so his family could be by his side.
  3. I think his early retirement had alot to do with it. It doesn't excuse what he was alleged to have done. There was problems adjusting to life outside baseball, though.
  4. I can't see Flair staying around in some capacity and not eventually returning to the ring at some point.
  5. It doesn't sound like Puckett is going to make it.
  6. I thought Rambo was fighting corporate polluters who killed is wife and daughter.
  7. Why didn't WWE.com explain the situation better?
  8. You do realize you are dead?
  9. Scottie P. meant alot to the ChiTown ChiSox. I think with all this talk about players dropping out. They've still got most of the best players. Even the ones who dropped out are mostly doing so because of injury reasons or are Manny Ramirez. Who will probably show up at Team USA practice and want to join. The team looks good. I'd like to see Mauer play. Experience could help me. I'll try and watch, because it's baseball that I think the teams are going to care about winning. Not run over the catcher winning, but still the effort will be there. I'll also guarantee no one is going to get seriously hurt.
  10. Something beyond the homo-erotic nature of the skit seemed off.
  11. It's supposed to be every four years, so chances are George won't be running the Yankees the next time this comes around.
  12. What kind of payroll are the A's looking to have?
  13. I was an extremist since I was knee high to a grass hopper. Grandpa had a personally signed picture of Ronald Reagan. He was like Palpatine.
  14. Anyone of those not interested in selling to Vince? Also is Vince just going to buy all available wrestling tape libraries, or are some of those listed not worth purchasing.
  15. Anyone "Theisman" their leg like Steinbrenner predicted?
  16. Small market teams have to draft well, and or make good trades in order to remain competive. Look at the A's. They took compensation picks and ended up with the likes of Huston Street, Nick Swisher, and Joe Blanton. The big three of Hudson, Mulder, and Zito were draft picks for Oakland in '97, '98 and '99. Two of those pitchers left but in return the A's received Juan Cruz, Dan Meyer, Danny Haren, and Daric Barton. Barton by all accounts one of the best hitting prospects in the game.
  17. Someone tell him to get back to earth.
  18. What are some of the old school territories that Vince doesn't own video rights to?
  19. I'm pretty sure my 10th grade history teacher was a former hippie. I got in trouble for saying the Beatles sucked, I didn't really think that just wanted to piss her off. Than she wanted to know about the importance of "We didn't start the Fire". I said it was a stupid song, and if you want to learn about history read a history book. That was the same class the convicted Harry Truman of War Crimes. I called the prosecution and little moron judges, Commies. That didn't sit to well.
  20. I was Robert Shaw.
  21. Cry like a baby. On camera, in front of billions around the world. Either that or pull an Owen Hart at the Slammy's.
  22. What team is he on?
  23. Catcher is a unique position. You have a stand out year, you're gonna have a damn good chance of wining the MVP. Even if your numbers aren't at the level of some of the other players.
  24. Barry's a good asshole name.
  25. The date is fine.
