Phills and Marlins scare me dude. I've always thought they were more of a threat than the Braves. One's got young talent that can bloom at any time and with no heavy expectatrions so its easy for them to run out and have alot of fun. And with the Phills-man their lineup still scares the hell out of me. And Pat Burrel is never a guy the Mets want to face. He is the new Chipper Jones..a.k.a. new Mets killer nowdays.
I'm happy forthe Marlins though,good for them. Now if they can get an owner who cares to invest some real money into that team they'll be even better.

ESPN's payroll tracker is way off. They're counting the full $10 million for Renteria (its really $6 million) and they are not taking into account the money we're getting in insurance for Hampton. So, its really about $78 million. Regardless, the big money guys we got out there are way underperforming.
Hey, I'll gladly us that avatar - a bet is a bet.......
I'm not sure if you drew that or whatever, but see if you can change it to where the guy is holding a gun to his head. And don't make him blowing his brains out as I want to use it on another sight and that probably won't be appropriate.
Just a suggestion. See what you can do.

The symbolism is for this year. I'm not gonna have an avatar representing the Braves choking in the playoffs.
I'll do some searches and see if I can find anything for you work with.
EDIT:
Can you work with that?

I'd say the Braves are choking quite a bit this year. You guys were right on our butts for a while, then you started sliding down. Now you've lost 8 in a row and are last in the division.
The avatar stands. Besides, I promise to use that one you suggested next time you lose.

I don't care if you're going into the Hall of Fame one day, Bobby. You're a dumb ****er. Who gives a shit how much pride the ****ing bullpen has, you igno****ingramus??? THEY DON'T EVER ****ING STOP THE OTHER TEAM FROM SCORING RUNS. That's their job. If I let people steal from my job, will *I* still have a job?
This season is so ****ing painful. Time to really embrace alcoholism, I think.

:lol :lol Even we gave it to Howard!
Every year around this time I get jaded with Torre's non-managing skills and stop watching for a week or so. Since the World Cup is on, I see this as a perfect time. Yesterday I turned th game off three times and I never turn it off. I didn't turn it off even last year when the Sox beat us like 19-1 after Class Carl blew ass.
I NEED A WEEK OFF.

White Sox kicked some serious ass last night. I think STL was lucky to socre 6 runs last night, but still White gained no ground because Tigers won too.:lol

Guillen calls columnist Mariotti homosexual slur
ESPN.com news services
On Tuesday to reporters, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen referred to Chicago Sun-Times columnist and Around the Horn contributor Jay Mariotti as a derogatory name for a homosexual.
Angry with a recent column by Mariotti critical of Guillen's handling of recently demoted relief pitcher Sean Tracey and upset with Mariotti with columns of the past, Guillen said to reporters when referring to Mariotti before Tuesday's game with the Cardinals, "What a piece of [expletive] he is, [expletive] fag."
"I don't have anything against those people. In my country, you call someone something like that and it is not the same as it is in this country."
Ozzie Guillen
Mariotti was covering the NBA Finals Tuesday night and was not present to hear what Guillen said.
Columnist Greg Couch of the Sun-Times wrote a column Wednesday in response, calling for commissioner Bud Selig to suspend Guillen for his use of a "hurtful homophobic" term.
Before writing the column, Couch asked Guillen for an explanation. Guillen defended his use of the term "fag" by saying this about homosexuals and the use of the word in question: "I don't have anything against those people. In my country, you call someone something like that and it is not the same as it is in this country.''
Guillen said that in his native Venezuela, that word is not a reference to a person's sexuality, but to his courage. He said he was saying that Mariotti is "not man enough to meet me and talk about [things before writing].''
Guillen also told Couch that he has gay friends, attends WNBA games, went to a Madonna concert and plans to go to the Gay Games in Chicago.
"I called that of this man [Mariotti],'' he told Couch. "I'm not trying to hurt anybody [else]."
Scott Reifert, the White Sox's vice president of communications, offered to apologize on behalf of the organization when approached by Couch.
"To anybody who was insulted or hurt by that comment ... as an organization, we'll certainly apologize," Reifert told Couch.

If he never took the team to a world championship last year he just might be unemployed right now. He is really pushing how far he can go here with his antics.

Ozzie could've used a bit more tact (as always), but Mariotti IS a total asshole. As I've said before, the guy has made a career out of shitting on sports teams and players.
In other news, the Red Sox picked up Jason Johnson off the trash heap. WHOO
