the max

Exactly, he was pushed too fast, and had FAR too high expectations on him. Maybe if he'd gotten the job with Atlanta or Columbus or something, where he could help his young guys around, make a surprise playoff appearance and be seen as a success. As it is, his team blew a 3-1 series lead in 2003 and was outmatched in every way by San Jose in 2004. Each time, he was outcoached by a long way.

He should go in wearing a hat with a dollar sign on it.

They've lacked the killer instinct they had when Hartley and Crawford were in charge. Granato seems more like a "players' coach" than a guy who will call out his players when he needs to.

Anyone who can pick up a copy of ESPN NHL 2K4 for me, I'll pay you for it, and pay you for shipping. I went to my CC, and they had about three games left for the PS2, none of which interested me. PLEASE?!!??!

Alex Gonzalez isn't a bad shortshop at all, but his bat leaves a lot to be desired for me. How about: Nomar/D-Lowe for Penny/Castillo Actually, that's crazy on my part isn't it? Florida couldn't be THAT dumb to give up Luis Castillo, could they?

They traded Radek Bonk for Stephane Quintal and signed him. He's a good defenseman. Pairing him with Nathan Dempsey would work wonders for the Kings, IMO. Aaron Miller, Mattias Norstrom and Lubomir Visnovsky round out a solid corps defensively. Signing someone like Pavol Demitra would greatly help them offensively, and maybe if they resigned one of their big three (I'd stick with Palffy).

It killed it for many people, bob. Myself included, who had been watching SNL since...as long as I can remember. I don't anymore.

See a doctor and get rid of it.

If anyone can get an extra copy of ESPN NHL 2K4 for the PS2, I will PayPal you money to send it to me.

Because the moment of George Brett charging out of the dugout has been remembered for almost 25 years and is one of the most memorable moments in baseball history.

Dan Patrick and Rashad Dibble.

Red Sox lose in 12, 6-3 on a walk off homer by...someone.

What about Larry Bowa, al?

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1833440 Holy christ wagons, I thought they'd never do it.

Steve Shields has potential to be a #1, given the opportunity. I'd like to see Florida resign him, as he was finally a capable backup behind Luongo.

MANNY~@@!@#$@$@

It was Kotz. He tried, but he's too much of a fag to be mean. He comes off as one of the guys from Queer Eye. Oh, I know, I was just asking a question.

Uhm...why? He's played rightfield in the majors and Manny's played left. Why switch it around if you're trying to make a difference defensively?

That was mean and assholish?

Why is Trot out of that lineup?

I'd like Kevin "Hick" Millar gone. Guy can't play defense to save his life. Nomar is their biggest trade chip. They have to make a deal that will bring them a legit player. Let's not forget that brilliant 'Freddy Sanchez for Jeff Suppan' deal last year that made me lose faith in humanity. BK Kim can go fuck off to any team. I don't care either way. Everytime he plays for the Red Sox, it seems that he's earning his master's degree at the John Wasdin School of Blown Saves. I hope OMGammons is right and that Nomar is gone.

At least Rolston and Knuble have to come back. I'd love to see Muzz back, but...that's ownership for you.
