That bastard. I thought he only wanted to pass Babe Ruth.

That's it.

Underrated, overlooked what's the difference?

How come? Furcal's one of those players who contributes at all facets of the game. He hits for a decent average, draws walks, has pop, steals bases at a high percentage, and plays very good defense. There's no stat to hang your hat on like a .331 batting average, but he's every bit as valuable as the Jeter's and Tejada's. Going into the season a career .348 OB%. For a leadoff hitter that's below average. You've always been a proponent of a good OB%. Figured you'd look down at a leadoff hitter with such a low OB. I'd put Chris Capuano, Jason Bay, and maybe Placido Polanco on the underrated list. Pretty much any closer goes on the overrated list.

I'm suprised you of all people would list Furcal on the underrated list.

How does a show on CBS have anything to do with whether or not Arrested Development was cancelled?

I hope i'm not part of the rude sports folder group. Sports is sports. Sports should not be a passion, unless it's what you do for a living. You shouldn't lose sleep if your team doesn't win. You shouldn't threaten someone with violence if your team chokes. You shouldn't say "we". You aren't on the team.

If only the Cubs had 25 Scott Podsednik's. How did a Bob Brenly managed team win a World Series? Here's another gem from John Kruk. The pitcher with the most wins is the one who leads the league in ERA. I thought the best pitcher was the one with the most wins, and the one who should win the Cy Young.

I'd put Jason Bay and Chris Capuano on the underrated list. I'd put Jim Edmonds and Billy Wagner on the overrated list.

A-Rod strikes out too much for my liking.

Who the hell cares about a Home Run ball that amounts to nothing? It's not the Home Run ball that tied or passed Babe Ruth. Given how dislked Bonds is, you have to wonder how much someone could get for one of the milestone home run balls?

Who is this Barry Bonds fellow people keep talking about?

Alas all I remember of Rick Scu is Berman's nickname Ric "Really Big" Schu in the Ed Sullivan voice. I remember the series against Twins. Just hoping the Twins wouldn't be the team to end the streak.

Personally I was glad that asshole Albert Belle didn't win. I never liked Vaughn, any supposed good guy usually isn't. I never looked at the numbers, but I'm glad you had Edgar Martinez winning. Why is Jim Thome wearing boxing gloves? Nice to see Knoblauch get another Top 10 finish in the Bored Voting. Talk about a huge fall.

You already played Minnesota three times.

Nice to see Kenny Mayne make an appearance.

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but is Skip Bayless gay? He was one that implied Troy Aikman was gay in his book about the Cowboys.

Not counting the years in Buffalo, because Bob McAdoo won at least one scoring title in the mid-seventies.

ESPN's Number One College Football announce team. Mike Patrick and Todd Blackledge.

I was just looking at the link KKK provided. Almost ten years the difference in US players drafted is huge. Nine players selected in the first round, and 29 of the first 100 picked.

He wrote the song initially for the Beach Boys.

Thanks Mate.

I weep everytime Ortiz hits a HR.

Sounds like a Mexican Porn Star.

My brother thinks Chris Capuano is the best lefty in the National League.
