EVIL~! alkeiper

That one bothers me regardless of any real life situations. I can't recall any really. If it's bothersome, then it is on its own merits.

Given WWE's extreme willingness to bring in Samoans, I would imagine Tama simply did not want to continue wrestling/touring on a full time basis. I never even saw him pop up around here in Afa's promotion.

The problem is that while Griffey posted that OPS last season, Francoeur was 100 points south. Given the Braves' outfield options, a left handed bat is an ideal fit. And the contract is really pocket change.

Perhaps Jeff Francouer walked into camp and it reminded them they had something left on their to-do list.

Tough choice here. I'm going to take closer Heath Bell.

How the heck is Fausto Carmona still on the board?

Slaughter/Patterson this is not.

Inducted by Dusty. I'm pretty sure a fair portion of the crowd knows who Terry Funk is.

FUNKS~!

Yeah, 1950s is oddly a better era for surviving wrestling footage. The Dumont archives are still around, though I don't know who owns that footage.

Great to see Ron Simmons' title win over Big Van Vader added.

He was dancing like that LONG before that WWF stint.

I think what I find troubling in this is the idea that society can take away one's children when it sees the parents mentally unfit. I mean physical abuse is one thing. But in other situations, is this what a free society is all about?

I doubt they'd dishonor a long term service agreement, that'd be seriously bad PR. Now if they CEASE operation, you're out of luck.

The pink backpack seems to be a trend.

I was ticked that they raised rates on the family plan radios, specifically after promising not to raise rates. "It was only promised not to raise the base rate." Meanwhile service has suffered. The MLB package is the only thing that keeps me attached to satellite radio.

Jonathan Sanchez Can someone PM Bored for me? I need to run to work.

Going through this draft, I think 50% of my criteria is long term potential. I'm only moderately concerned with 2008 performance.

From time to time I've tried coming up with an MLB Dream Team. Always a fun idea, but it leads to a lot of tough cuts. Particularly when it comes to an established ancient player like Honus Wagner or Babe Ruth where the statistical evidence is overwhelming. If we limit the player pool strictly to surviving players though, we get players who are still relatively fresh in the memories of the fans. Players of whom we actually have footage. Let's see what we come up with.
