I went to my first game on Sunday at the new stadium and I had a great time. Yeah, the prices for everything are high ( $9 for a beer is pretty steep) but that goes without saying for most ball parks especially ones in cities like new york. The thing that really struck me was how empty the lower...

I would say all in all a pretty good episode last night. Did anyone else see that guy from season 2 when McNulty and Freeman were scouting out the homeless guys. He was one of the port guys. "Johnny Fifty" I think was his nickname. The more I watch and think about the show I am starting to...

I don't think getting pumped up after a walk off home run qualifies. If you can't get excited about that then you shouldn't be playing. It's day in and day out that I am noticing that they look like robots out there. I guess some people might call that "professionalism" but baseball is an...

To me, even though the bunt out bullpen, struggling starting pitching and Torre's moves are all very distressing, I am finding that something is bothering me more. Lack of intensity and emotion. It just seems that they are going through the motions out there. Where is the emotional leader of...

AROD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grand Slam !!!!

Ah..OK man, didn't mean to touch a nerve there. My point wasn't to bang on KC just that the Meche signing seemed a little over the top. And as I mentioned the younger talent can defineatly be developed both at the major and minor league level.

Agree 100% and that is why Cox is a top tier manager and Manuel is not. Even though Myers looked strong the next inning after being out on the bases he was in the 100 to 105 pitch count range. The ball Renteria hit over the center field wall was an 0-2 pitch. That pitch should have been nowhere...

I actually like Duke's arm more than Penny but it's going to be hard for him to pick up wins. Penny might be a safer bet.

Speaking of Selig leaving..... are there any names being floated out there as a replacement?

I think Meche will be fine but $55 million seems a little steep for a smaller market team. Hopefully they can develop some of their younger talent to compliment him. Just a side note but I was watching the game yesterday and enjoyed seeing George Brett. He was a great player and all but all I...

Curt Schilling = Pillsbury Dough Boy

The Phillies are going to be heart breakers again this year. Charlie Manuel screwed up again yesterday by leaving Brett Myers in longer than he should have and ruined what was otherwise a pretty good outing by Myers. He looks a lot better than last year after dropping 25 or 30 pounds and had...

I think at this point he is doomed no matter what he does and I fully expect him to opt out at the end of the season. To boo a guy that puts up the kind of numbers he does is a disgrace. I mean, I didn't hear the boos when Jeter made that error on his throw to first. I hope he can get over the...

Hey Bostonfred and Assani. If you guys are looking for a cheap place to stay I have a suggestion for you. Try the Days Inn at 112 S. Mossis Ave. You can look it up online at Daysinn.com I always stay there this time of year because it's off season and you get a great deal. I think it's...
