Posted Saturday November 28, 2009, About: Giants DE takes it out on teammates

1999 win vs the Braves, 2000 win vs the Mets, 2001 loss vs. D-Backs, 2003 loss vs Marlins, 2009 win vs the Sillies.....I only count 3 wins in 5 WS appearances in the last 10 years.

Boston fans have such short memories....Tell me how legitimate the "Tuck" play was in 2001? No blown call by the refs in the Raider game = No Super Bowl win vs. the Rams.

Accept your loss to Eli, Tyree and the Giants and move on.

There's really only one stat that counts....Romo and the Cowboys=No playoff wins in 15+ years.....Cowboy fans need to shut up until that streak is broken.

Hey if Rick Peterson says he can rehab him, what can go wrong? Just look how well he did with Victor Zambrano.....

I think the story is a scam....it's gotta be a halloween costume.

The Mets should go after Holiday. The way he tried to catch the ball with his nutz last week...he'd fit right in with the way the Mets play defense.

um...because he's not on his team?

Posted Friday October 09, 2009, About: Will Mets make play for Lackey?

I agree that Omar and the staff have to go. I don't have a problem with Jerry.... other than he allowed Howard Johnson to remain his batting coach all season.

Posted Wednesday October 07, 2009, About: Tigers victim of blown call?

Great game but horrible umpiring. Would it have killed Marsh to get help on this play? If none of the umpires saw it then fine....but why not ask?

Posted Sunday October 04, 2009, About: Philllies lose Romero for year

....and the Dolphins should be going to the Super Bowl...even though they're 0-3

Posted Wednesday September 30, 2009, About: Valentine open to Mets return

I don't have a problem with Jerry.....but if you could bring back Bobby V: DO IT!!!

Posted Tuesday September 29, 2009, About: Mets considering uniform changes

...said the Knicks fan who followed Isaiah as he led the team over the cliff.

Maturing? No....On his best behavior because it's a contract year? Yes.

Posted Sunday September 27, 2009, About: Is Cassel in trouble in Kansas City?

This guy had Scott Mitchell written all over him.....and to think Denver wanted him instead of Cutler!

The other 2% are Eskimos....most back-up place kickers in the league are Eskimos. It's their skill position.

...said the idiot who was too dumb to add a picture to his user profile

Posted Thursday September 24, 2009, About: Webb not interested in D-Backs pay cut

Restructuring a contract doesn't necessarily mean a pay cut.....especially in MLB. They may be trying to pay him over a longer period of time but he'll get all the money he's due. Restructuring would give the D-Backs more flexibility in 2010.....So I agree with the masses. He's a tool.

Posted Thursday September 24, 2009, About: Source: Tension between Cox & Braves GM

His wife must be thrilled that he's retiring.....The bruises he gave her the last time he was out of work have finally healed and now this!

Posted Thursday August 20, 2009, About: Pujols can't escape steroids doubters

Every top player from the last decade has been linked to roids....but Pujols is the only one not using? Sorry, I ain't buyin it.

Posted Wednesday August 19, 2009, About: Pujols can't escape steroids doubters

Would anyone really be surprised if Pujols was dirty? No one in MLB can be trusted......

Posted Sunday August 09, 2009, About: Rangers in market for pitchers

Let's see....Boston is in desperate need of pitching and they cut Smoltz.....Why would anyone other than the Boston Globe think another contender would want him?
