I agree with all that. And on top of everything you just said, I'd also like to add that no other team gets a whole "Sportscenter Special" devoted to them when they lose. I've been watching ESPN all day and they've been cutting in with special Yankees report like some tragedy has happened. It's...
I'm no Yankees fan (far from it, seeing as how their defeat of the Braves in the '96 World Series remains the single most excruciating experience in my baseball life), but there's no way Torre is to blame. It's not his fault everyone in the lineup forgot how to hit. The way I see it, it's very...
picks: Division round: Yankees over Tigers Athletics over Twins Padres over the Cards Mets over Dodgers NLCS: Padres over Mets ALCS: A's over Yanks WS: A's over Padres
So, I'm still watching all the Braves games even though they've been out of it for weeks. How am I supposed to act? Any Cubs fans want to help out with this dilemma? ;)
You're right. I thought everyone played 19 games against teams in their division too, so I don't know how or why they've only played 18 games between each other.
Hey, anything's possible! :D But seriously, we Braves fans got hosed by the announcing situation this season. Give me Skip and Pete (or any of the TBS guys) over Rathbun and Torborg any day. Also, what happens if the Braves win the division next year? That'll be 15 out of 16, so would...
I think Andruw's fate will be determined by how well the Braves are doing around the trade deadline next year. If they're out of it, they'll probably trade him. If not, they'll hang on to him and try to negotiate a new contract in the off-season before the '08 season gets underway. I think...
Andruw Jones isn't a free agent until after next season. So, he's still there for the time being. My gut instinct tells me he'll sign an extension because I really think he wants to stay in Atlanta. His agent is Scott Boras though, so who knows? If I were John Schuerholz, I'd try to get an...
Come on, now. It was still a heck of a run. I don't care how many WS titles they won, it was incredible, especially given the fact that Cox was able to do it with different teams over the years. Also, I'll bet right now they win the East next year if Wickman comes back to close. If the...
I didn't think you had any eligibility for any college athletics if you agree to a pro contract of any kind? Or once you sign an agent? Obviously, I'm wrong, but it just doesn't seem right. Baseball is weird though with their draft.
If Griffey Jr. had stayed healthy all these years, there's no doubt in my mind that he could have made a real run at Aaron's record. As it stands now, I don't think Bonds will be second for nearly as long as the Babe was, as I can see both A-Rod and Pujols supplanting him within the next 10-15...
Absolutely crazy game between the Braves and Cubs today. Only this year's Braves team could find a way to hit 8 homers and still only win by 1. And as far as I'm concerned, Babe Ruth is still second on the all time list.
