The GOP needs to run ads against her in New York pointing that out to the Yankee fan voters.
What made that night worse was that ESPN bascially turned the Sox-Yanks game into a three hour Kerry campaign commercial. I turned the volume down and turned on Joe and Jerry.
I'm reading that Manny lost the balls because of the high sky.
You know Manny, concentrating harder to judge a ball's distance can be taxing on the brain. Besides it's probably not specifically mentioned in his contract. ;^)
Do the O's have any plans to create their own television network?
The nice thing about Manny is he doesn't let his errors bother him. In fact I'm sure he forgets about them about a minute after he commits them.
Get ready for a New York Super Bowl in a few years. My dream is for the Pats to win that game!
Baltimore is a nasty line up to face and I am starting to like the Blue Jays. In two years I think that they will will take the division since their owners have decided to add about $20 Million to the payroll.
This is only April, we've got a long summer to go. As long as we're not in the tank in September, I'm not going to worry! I'm sure Steinbrenner is going to kick some ass before then, however!
Oops, you're right! Clark's error was after the Denkinger play. But in any case, my general point still stands, which was that giving the Royals an extra out was one of the key mistakes of their own doing that the Cardinals made that inning.
Not this year they won't. Baltimore can hit (gotta love Brian Roberts as a fan of the game) and Toronto has a few guys on their staff who can pitch like Halliday and Ted Lilly.
But, Yanks get rid of Kevin Brown and Bernie Williams contracts next year and they have Sheffield for one more after this year. They can buy more players but until they are willing to spend the time to build up the farm system they will always be racing against the clock.
Hey, at least George wants to win. Can't say that about some of the other owners in the game...cough, cough, Bud Selig, cough, cough.
Correct. The Cardinals should have been able to overcome that call.
It seems like they were a lot scarier with O'Neil, Brosius, and Knoblauch in the lineup.
"Baltimore is a nasty line up to face and I am starting to like the Blue Jays. In two years I think that they will will take the division since their owners have decided to add about $20 Million to the payroll."
$20 Million will get them one pitcher. Still no contest.
Salary cap is the answer for MLB.
I have no idea about that. We're not as prestigious as the NY clubs and a few years back, the news station, WTOP, dropped the O's from their game coverage, so the O's aren't really the kind of club that can make demands of any network or sink money into their own network. The Redskins rule the Metro area so anything the O's do will have to be in partnership with some other deep-pocketed entity, that's not already tied up with the Redskins. Just my opinion. I couldn't find any news on the Nats site about their TV deal.
No, with the job the GM has done they will be a good young team that can add a few veterans to the mix. Halliday and Lilly are good pitchers and they have guys in the farm system.
I think that the A's could have won the series by now if they'd had an extra $20 million to spend on players.
What you are referring to is Yankee team building....
"What you are referring to is Yankee team building...."
Yankee and to a lesser extent Red Sox team building is done in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
As a fellow Cub fan, I gotta disagree with you. I want the Yanks to lose every game especially against the BoSox.
Go Cubbies
Actually, Theo has done very well signing cheaper players like Ortiz, Millar, Mueller and Bellhorn. He's signed players for incentive laden deals and stayed away from chasing every big name that comes on the market.
Bung Hole Kim was his biggest mistake so far. Don't be surprised if in the next two years you see Bellhorn, Millar, Mueller, Damon and a that ancient pitching staff replaced by guys in the farm system. George, meanwhile, never learns from his mistakes.
