Posted Saturday November 01, 2008, About: Free agents likely to bolt D-Backs

The biggest free agent on that list is Juan Cruz, at least in terms of potential and upside. It is time for him to come back to where he started--The Atlanta Braves!

Posted Saturday November 01, 2008, About: Fulmer hears calls for his job

As long as Fulmer keeps chomping on that turkey leg or Big Mac, he will be chewing much too loud to hear anyone say anything about his job. But, on a more serious note, with the money they gave him this last offseason, I couldn't imagine them letting him go for a bad season.

Posted Saturday November 01, 2008, About: Vandy recruits remain committed

You are down in Mobile, man! You gonna tell me how great the University of South Alabama is this year? Give it a rest

Posted Saturday November 01, 2008, About: D'Antoni admits cursing Knicks fans

D'Antoni should consider cursing himself. Taking just a little more money to be with the Knickerbockers instead of the Bulls. At least with the Bulls he would have been competitive.

Posted Sunday October 26, 2008, About: Varitek can stay in Boston if...

And your comment did not follow the basic rules of grammar. C'mon, this is a blog!

Posted Saturday September 27, 2008, About: Milan denies signing nine-year-old

For Ronaldo's sake, I hope he does not get close to Marta. She doesn't look like the kind of girl to like Ronaldo's attention.

Posted Saturday September 27, 2008, About: Titans owner backs Young

Vince Young...Vince Young. Just like JaMarcus, he turned a few great running plays and designed draws to a big payday...only to be miffed when someone says that he doesn't have the arm. Then you have JaMarcus, who has great arm strength but horrible touch. Pick your poison!

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Rays' Crawford unlikely for ALDS

So true, so true! You trudge on through such horrible seasons. Then there's a chance you don't even make the ALDS roster. I haven't been watching. I guess Baldelli is in similar shape

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Second-guessing ticks off Ozzie

I would second guess my decision when you are giving the pitch to Mr. Logan there...with the 6.00 ERA.

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Baker denies daughter dating Patterson

Glad to see Corey is making Ga Tech proud.

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: White Sox want to extend GM

If Kenny's team doesn't make the playoffs after being swept by the Twins, then they might extend him alright. Right before they draw and quarter him.

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Angels leaning toward three ALDS starters

Ha! Who is going to be this year's version of Donnie Moore? Yes, California Angels, I am talking to you.

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Cabrera rips White Sox teammates

Koufax was a great pitcher. Not the best ever, but certainly for such a truncated career...great pitcher.

In regards to Cabrera and Guillen it will be interesting to see which one of them starts the cat fight when they don't win the AL Central. I think it is even money that one or both of them will use some kind of homosexual insult.

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Rangers may trade catcher

So they going with Salty in Arlington? I don't know if I am sold on him. I guess he could be an upgrade over Laird if he bats higher than the .252 he is batting right now. Further, he strikes out greater than once every third time AB.

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Why Chiefs will start Huard

I think that the Chiefs could use a running threat at quarterback. Although Culpepper was at one time pretty efficient, I am not sure if he is more than a concrete block in the pocket.

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Mementos of Vick's son sold to pay bills

This is getting to be the biggest farce in recent memory. And not just in sports!

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Hossa already impressing Red Wings

The whole argument that the Thrashers would be just as bad with Hossa as they would be without him is an interesting one. Still, I hate to see him in red, even though I love the Red Wings. What do you think guys? Will he mess up the chemistry the Stanley Cup Champs?

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Fulmer: I would have booed too

I don't know what was more painful to watch last week. Watching UT play or the TV cameras panning back to Fulmer. I propose that they pan to the cheerleaders every once in awhile to counter. I mean, really, they are always cheerful, nay oblivious.

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: USC recruit sentenced to prison

All you have to say about prison is that it is not the best place to recruit. Hey son, protect your end zone! Godspeed!

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: NFL QBs reach out to Rutgers' Teel

Someone should reach out to Rutgers...and clone Ray Rice. When you can't stay close with an upstart, but still thoroughly overmatched, Tar Hell squad, you might be lacking your All-Big East RB.

Posted Friday September 26, 2008, About: Recruit to pick between Michigan & State

Maybe he should go to Wisconsin. Better education than Michigan State and not as much fan pressure as UM.
