[If you shout...]

Quick, look at Prince Fielder's Wikipedia page.

 

[bono_212]

I'm sure I missed it, what happened?


Also, The Cubs may be disappointing me, but I'll gladly take another NL All-Star win (no jinx?)

 

[If you shout...]

The caption under his picture read "Big Fat Prince Fielder in 2007." I laughed heartily.

 

[bono_212]

Nice.

Bye Bye K-Rod

Milwuakee, get ready to hide ya kids, hide ya wife...cause Krod's hitting everybody out here

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Good news for my fantasy team then. More saves

 

[Hewson]

Good Bad news for my fantasy team then. More blown saves

[gump]

So, K-Rod loses his 17.5 million dollar option and gets to live in Milwaukee. Great deal for him.

 

[Numb1075]

well, that's what you get for beating up old people in front of children.

 

[No spoken words]

You really should only beat old people up when nobody is around, everyone knows this.

K-Rod won't be collecting saves. Axford is still the guy in the 9th. K-Rod definitely makes the Brew Crew's bullpen stronger. i'm still hoping that they put all of their cards on the table and try to trade for a SS or 3B as well.

Pfft I care not for his success. He can blow plenty of saves so long as he's getting the cheap, easy ones. My team already leads the league in saves, and a reliever's WHIP/ERA hardly hurt me.

I thought there was something around the lines that K-Rod said he'd only accept a trade to a team where he would be a closer? Or was that only to a winning team?

Boras, his new agent, said that “Closers don’t make good setup men. Does anyone want an unhappy setup man in their clubhouse?”

That was after he convinced Levine to sign Soriano, of course.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Good riddance

 

[MrPryck2U]

Just got done watching HBO's Curt Flood documentary. Great stuff!

While in Montreal, someone said to me that they still miss the Expos. I had to feign sympathy.

 

[Numb1075]

They were excellent in 1994 !

 

[Numb1075]

If you didn't see Brian Wilson's post game chat with Pedro Gomez, here it is....Check out their exchange at the 1:20 mark.

Brian Wilson doesn't amuse me.

That's a legitimate problem.

[kramwest1]

No offense intended.


They did bring up MN losing the North Stars. If Montreal lost the Habs, well then that would be tragic. And, I could sympathize.

 

[BoMac]

I never use the word tragic when it comes to losing sports franchises. But losing the Expos certainly hurt a lot more people in Montreal and Quebec than you realize. Don't look at the dwindling attendance figures as any indication as to the following the team had, there were A LOT of fans. However, by the end things got to the point where people just gave up all hope and found other things to do. Which, in the summer, there is no shortage of events to attend in Montreal.

I have been to Canada too many times now to have NOT hit a strip club yet--total heterosexual fail.

 

[Hewson]

Good thing you like it both ways for $20 a month.

 

[BoMac]

Not even the best strip club on that...er...strip.

Next time we're both in Montreal I'll take you, and you can leave the architect behind.
