TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe

I think you missed Jason Giambi's grand slam against Minnesota from May 2002 in extra innings, although that may have come with 1 out.

I remember that game very clearly...It was ESPN Sunday Night, and as the M's lead got bigger and the game got later, I had one of those "funny feelings" about the game, and boldy told my brother that Cleveland would come back. I can also remember having that feeling: -After the Yanks went up 3-0 on Boston in '04, it didn't feel right, something was wrong and it seemed like it was just becoming too easy. -Before the 4th quarter in the 2002 playoff game, Giants vs. 49ers the historic collapse which included TO dragging a helpless Jason Sehorn into the endzone with him -After Atlanta took the first two in the '96 World Series, I told my dad that the Yankees would definitely win it in 6 -During the rain delay in the early innings of David Cone's perfect game in 1999, the announcers were kidding about how it would be a shame to lose a perfecto (it was like the 3rd inning) and I simply said that he was going to get it. -After I knew that the 2003 ALCS was destined to go seven, before game six was even played. I got the same feeling when the horribly slumping Aaron Boone got up to the plate in the 2003 ALCS Game 7. These are the ones off the top of my head, I know there have been more instances...

My vote would have been for Pujols, by the way. You guys need to calm down when voters don't take things into account like VORP or whatever other crazy stats you can come up with. Do you think somebody like Buster Olney knows what that is?

Neither Curtis Martin or Emmitt Smith were linebackers...

That, or, sabermetrics are a bunch of made up stats by a small group of nerds that most people have never heard of who think they are better than everyone because they have these superior formulas. Get over it and get a life, statheads, please.

Nomar resigns with the Dodgers, 2 years / $18.5 mil.

Ryan Howard wins the National League MVP.

Brian Leonard - Senior - FB/RB - Rutgers - 6'2" - 235 Career: 644 carries for 2,617 yards and 29 TD's and 200 receptions for 1,832 yards and 13 TD's http://youtube.com/watch?v=tXJRmKMHTsE http://youtube.com/watch?v=dPnApaME-GQ Basically, this guy is an animal.

I couldn't copy the link, but I am adding the Yankees vs. California Angels game from July 25, 1993. I was 7, and tt was the first game I ever went to. The Angels scored 8 runs in the 2nd inning, and the Yankees chopped away at the lead until they won the game in the bottom of the 9th, 9-8.

Mets reportedly add another 40 year old to thier roster, signing Moises Alou for a 2 year deal.

Hawaii accepted a bid to the Hawaii Bowl.

Let's make it happen.

At least they could try to hype up a 1-on-1 player match up of two guys who might actually be on the field at the same time during during the game besides the coin toss.

I don't think that anyone on the entire network realizes that the MLB awards are voted on before the postseason. The playoffs have no bearing on the voting whatsoever.

Late 90s - Livewire with Michael Cole was on USA at 10 am, WWF New York was on some local channel at 11, and JR and the Brooklyn Brawler were the announcers for it. Sundays at 10 was Superstars with Kevin Kelly on USA. And before PPVs (When they used to start at 7) Dok Hendrix would do the free-for-all at 6:30.

Hanley Ramirez and Justin Verlander have been named your rookies of the year, per ESPNews.

The Yanks are sending Wright and the cash.

Seems ever since PTI became a hit in like '01 or '02, every ESPN segment must involve some sort of back and forth argument with a couple of blowhards that are generally clueless.

Well, they did just fire Buck Showalter....

I can tell you off hand that Chipper Jones is one. (95 ROY, 99 MVP)

He also did that in 2004, then became the bench coach in '05. ESPN reported the other day that Mattingly is replacing Mazzilli as bench coach next year.

Michael Smith just ripped ESPN for overhyping guys like Owens and Bush to death as he was booted off Around the Horn. Quite a little rant.

Plus they were facing the best pitching staff of the '90s and then the best of the '00s.
