There were many nights where I would come back from work and he would be doing his homework just five feet from the television with and empty container of 30 wings. The best part was the he sometimes would be wearing 3-d sunglasses watching Sponge Bob Square Pants.

and what is it that drives Riley crazy and didn’t want to draft him???

But hey, facts have no place in this argument I guess.

Hate the sawx, but respect Beckett, cuz the guy puts teams on his back in October and rides them to Championships. Yes, if you judge a guy by playoff performances than I do put him in that equation. Funny how you say Nolan Ryan, most overrated pitcher ever.

if the yanks had traded for him last year, he could have possibly hit leadoff. it’s not like his OBP was considerably lower than Damon’s; he’s more better on the basepaths than jeter.

and yes, they sold Morgan, but do you really think they got quality in return? LM, who has rotted on my fantasy bench all season, has a rough history. and the pitcher? eh.

Alright, you gotta take the Yanks outta the equation. All of this just sounds like you’re upset that your team didn’t get a guy you wanted. We traded Nate for 3 prospects…what were you expecting the Buccos to get back from any team last year? A guy having his first actually good season…but it’s not like anyone was willing to ship an All Star our way for Nate McLouth. Huntington saw nothing he liked, and held onto him. He was not on the trade block this season, but the Braves’ offer blew him away.

And yes, I could give a shit less about LM’s “checkered past.” I’m supposed to be blind to his talent because he didn’t fit in with the worst team in baseball in DC?

Huntington has been on the job what, 2 seasons? And in that time, he’s turned the littlefield shitshow into a club that’s only 6 games back in the Central and has a staple of young guys like Alvarez, Tabata and Hernandez. Oh, and he finally gave a stud like McCutchen his chance. That’s another reason McLouth didn’t go last year…Cutch wasn’t ready like he was this year

much better view of pnc park from the upper deck behind the plate.

The Beckett for Ramirez trade may go down as one of the most benficiary trades for both teams ever. When all is said and done, both teams may have gotten one of the greatest players to ever play their respected positions

I didn’t know Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Roy Halladay, Walter Johnson, Cy Young, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Johan Santana, Christy Matthewson, Sandy Koufax, Whitey Ford, Roger Clemens, Bob Gibson, Satchel Paige, Bert Blyleven, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, Peter Alexander, Gaylord Perry, Steve Carlton, Don Sutton, Phil Niekro, and Eddie Plant had the possibility of rubbing shoulders with “greatest ever” Josh Beckett.

Their park looks downright amazing:

been there several times. it’s nothing short of a palace.

Cuban needs to purchase the Bucs

not sure why people think cuban is all that. his greatest attribute — best as i can tell — is being a media whore.
