I was listening to the radio and heard that the new book on Bonds will have transcripts taken from his mistress' recorder about how he was going to kill her, etc., while in a roid rage. The authors physically heard the tapes. Is there anyone truly clinging to the hope that Bonds didn't use...

I listened to Korea vs. Chinese Tai Pai on the way home. I won't spoil it for those of you watching the replay later on ESPN2.... I sure am glad they're showing something called "The K Zone" on ESPN 2 and Outside the Lines (which I like) instead of live WBC. I'm actually looking forward to...

I spent a fair amount of time listening to MLB Home Plate (on XM Radio) on announcement day -- General concensus by the callers was that it was a travesty of justice that O'Neil didn't get in; however, I was surprised how many of the call-in writers during Baseball Beat (Charlie Steiner's show)...

I agree with Mike -- Surprise :). I would have liked to have seen Rickey get a shot as a late season sign on too. Exciting player to watch in his prime, and still offers a passion for the game. Memory serves he was really wanting to hit the 300HR mark with his 3000+ hits and career steals...

Larry, Larry, Larry. It's not even Spring Training yet, man. Until April 5th (the second game of the season) you can't make calls like that! (Must be a Husky fan ;) ) Plus, let's review: Angels -- Nothing done to improve their team. Lost what I would call their MVP, in Molina, and Colon...

With Nomah out, the list of non-participants in the WBC is just getting longer and longer. I'm starting to think I'm happy I won't be there. Doug

Mike -- I'm with you. Griffey's had his days, and I agree he's taken the "woe is me" approach in the past. I think what irked me most was that it seems like he's really changed over the years, so that just came off more personal to me. Sorry if I came off a little harsh. I like the Sox...

Mike -- I understand me using the word "ignorant" may have stung, mainly I was referring to you rather having Sr. than Jr. I understand trying to be funny, but that's just lame. But after reading your followup I wanted to clarify a few things. There's a big difference between being a prima...

Mike -- That's kind of ignorant considering last year Griffey played in 128 games (they made him sit longer than he wanted to,) and still managed to hit .301 with 35HR, 92RBI and .369OBP Now think about Griffey hitting in front of Ortiz. Doug

Yeah, she's hot. Plus, you can't go wrong with a woman who claims (at least her website does) to have Goonies as one of her favorite movies. :) I'll tell you though, listening to her on radio shows is pretty tough. Besides the wife, I'd still take Benson on the Mariners. Solid #3 starter...

Actually, I had thought about starting a thread just for the Baseball Classic. I'm really interested in it too. I was thinking about going, but my wife is concerned that she'll have our daughter early and doesn't want me in San Diego. Baby isn't due until the start of May, but my first daughter...

Mike said: I feel the same way in part. I think Damon will help them this year, from a lead off point. But, as mentioned, his defense is going to end up being a liability -- especially in the long run. Damon's shoulder is bound to fall off before the end of his contract. Another thing to...

Marvin -- Absolutely, let's compare and contrast. ARod - $25 million a year Damon - $13 million a year *$25 mil made ARod the highest paid player in all of baseball, while Damon's $13 mil puts him middle tier. Damon signed a same per/year deal hitting .316, .366 OBP, with 117 runs...

Wow, gotta say that either the Red Sox brass are total morons, or have something up their sleeves. I'm a Sox fan, but don't call them "my team" or anything (after all, you should only legally be allowed to call any team "your team" if you either grew up, lived in, or live in the vacinity of said...

No Jason, Derek Jeter is A-Rod with less range, less power, and a better press agent... and rings, and plays in the clutch. I'm cool with Jeter. I think where people come off thinking he's pompous comes down to Jeter's obvious dislike of the media. Yeah, he's a hugely boring interview -- so his...

Actually, according to Home Plate on XMRadio, they say he makes close to $7-8 million a year after endorsements. The big money in Japan comes down to endorsements, and being the first foreign born manager to win the Japan Series will be worth big bucks. BTW, someone please let me reopen the...

Maybe we should name this the "Red Sox Hot Stove Discussion". :) All I have to say is what a surprise, ESPN was wrong again -- correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it a given that Theo signs today? I know Gammons is very respected, but ESPN is so quick to get the "story" first, that they spend...
