fuck him. Maybe if he wasn't wearing that bionic elbow pad so he could crowd the plate like he does, he wouldn't get tagged so often. Pussy.
a few things here...
first, glad to see the Sox are back on track. Against the shitty Mariners sure, but still.
second, Carlos Lee is back to form and crushing the ball. 2 HRs today, more homers in the past few weeks than he's had all the rest of the season. last year he had 30 HRs, he had 4 up to about a month ago. now he's got 11. If someone's got an empty spot on their fantasy roster, I'd really pick him up. He somehow regained his power.
third, Ken "the hawk" harrelson is my favorite, though not nearly the best, announcer for being such an awesome person. you can e-mail him and co-announcer DJ Darrel Jackson during the game, and a good question gets read out loud on air. today, a young college student e-mailed them something to the effect of "i'm a young college student who wants to be involved in sports. but i don't know if i want to be a sports writer, a sports reporter, or even something else. do you have any advice?"
hawk, being the cool guy he is said "(kid's name), come to the park one of the next home games, go to the guest services counter and leave your number for me. we'll talk."
That is just plain awesome imo.
fourth...Cubs lost 4 in a row(i know how that goes), and are now 7 out. HAHAHHAHA. Also, Rolen is a friggin' beast.
fifth, lastly, and most importantly....are anyone else's team here in one of the 6 teams MLB selected to pilot their new game enhancements?
they picked the chi sox as one of their teams, and i gotta say, i ABSOLUTELY love it. it's awesome. they mic a player every game, talk with the manager in between innings, interview other players on the bench, interview the starting pitcher in the clubhouse after he's been pulled. I just love it. it's like an ESPN broadcast every game. They better not stop this....
and a little p.s. here....they had jose valentin miced up. he and paul konerko(aka THE MAN) were talking about what they do after they hit a home run. they ripped on griffey a bit, saying he always stands at home plate and watches the ball. i thought it was pretty funny.
alright, that's like, the longest post in this thread. see ya later!

So, the Mets are playing solid ball but I am still fried in a glass case of trepidation... Hard not to be with a team this bi-polar.

ROFL @ ASTROS. Chokejob if I've ever seen one. I wanted to see some games too, but fuck that. I'm not in the mood to see a bunch of overpriced babies play .500 ball.
I think I'll go Arlington, instead. Where I'll watch some players with heart knock the living shit out of the ball, and Kenny Rogers toss brilliant games.

hahaha, Sox win because the same dumbass Mariner pitcher walks in two runs. that's right, two. and it would have been three if the last batter didn't swing at ball 4. How can you not throw a strike?
Also, I was on TV for Konerko's homer. I was literally like 10 feet from where it fell. wooo.

Griffey needs to either retire or move to first base now. No one will take him in a trade so Reds might have to think of trading Casey. Because Casey for sure can't play anywhere but first.
Reds offense is without 3 of their top 4 hitters. Kearns, Casey, and Griffey all on the DL. Reds may never win again.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
At least he got 501.

Calling Ken Griffey Jr. getting hurt is like calling that jenna jameson is gonna have sex.
Moron. The Astros are closer to passing Cinci than they are to being passed by the Pirates. The Reds don't have a chance anyway. The only teams with playoff hopes in the NL Central are the Cards, Cubs, and Astros. Reds were playing way over their heads in the first half...They'll be back to scuffling around with the Brewers by the end of the season.
