Albert gets better as the game goes on and it never matters whether you have two strikes on him or not.

They didn’t raise the hoop, they widened the Key due to Wilt’s dominance.
To: CaptRon
Oh no ... I wasn’t referring to you. Sorry if you got that impression.

Albert gets better as the game goes on So they shouldn't have started him until the third inning! ;-)

St. Louisan Joe Buck and former Cardinal Tim McCarver (once from Memphis, but now just another New York media kiss-ass), gushing over the apparent idiot-from-the-Orient Ichiro’s starstruck encounter with Zero.
Utterly disgusting

The Red’s use their pitcher Micah Owings as a pinch hitter. Rick Ankiel, a former pitcher for the Cards, is now an outfielder. Ya never know, which is what makes the NL game better.

Baseball? It's a game for a bunch of pu$$ies that couldn't make the lacrosse team.

Ha, he is also good at the beginning of the game. That error was highly uncharacteristic.

He reminds me of Kerry saying his favorite Red Sox player was Manny Ortiz.

Same here. Though I will admit that I have it on just to see King Hussein on a Fox channel.

"Today, all these guys working out off-season end up on the DL! What up wit dat?" I don't pretend to have any knowledge of the inner-workings of modern day baseball. But, if I had to guess, it comes down to one word, money. Gibson probably never made $200K in a single season, while some of these pitchers make that per outing. I'd assume it's a combination of the player protecting his future, and management protecting their investment. But, I could be all wet.
