yea but cal i seem to remember the angels winning the WS in 2002.. all im saying is the competition in the central is no where nere the level of the west or east.. well the sox and yanks in the east. but the west is one of the divisions that can end up a race between all 4 teams.. and out managed is the same as being out hit in my book.. its all part of the game.
ken was 41
ps superman died yesterday

and i forgot to metion this a while ago... did anyone see the Pet Rose Movie on ESPN... I did... I thought it was pretty good... Its a shame though.... he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame... I think they should put him in the Hall of Fame... but not back into baseball...
i dont think he should be in the hall and if they dont put him in they should wait 14 years to put him in just coz thats how long it took him to realize he's not bigger than baseball
im lookin foward to tonights game with the braves and astos....i'll be rootin for the astros...i think it would be pretty funny if the stros and yankees met in the world series and the houston and clemens beat them...i'd like to see that just to see steinbreiner cry
I didn't watch it as I hate ESPN trying to be all MTV with selling out to the sports viewer for the mainstream viewer, but that's for another thread at another time.
I think he should be in the HOF as he got all the accolades as a player not as a manager, but as you said he shouldn't be back in baseball.

nooo wuta, you want the braves to win tonight...you told me the other day, remember?
As far as the ESPN movie Hustle, I haven't seen it yet, I hear it's good...but I agree with Strangelove in that ESPN has sold out as of late...only thing I watch on ESPN is Sportscenter, Baseball Tonight, and sporting events

What can I say? Both Dodgers and Angels eliminated and we have another Boston and NY series. Not to fond of either the Braves or the Astros so I'm picking the Cards. As for the Red Sox...well, as a good sport I wish them best of luck agains't the Yanks.
Yeah, I can't stand to watch Sportscenter anymore, every show, the first half hour is dedicated to the Yankees or Lakers if which ever season it is, and their insight has gotten worse and worse, I mean they have Sean Salsburysteak as a football analyst!!!!! Only show that's worth watching is Baseball tonight.
Thanks, forumcrew, I didn't see that Reeve died until this morning.
I was checking ESPN this afternoon to watch football highlights to see how the Seahawks were able to lose that game yesterday (I had stopped watching the Hawks game after the 1st half, and figured that they had it pretty much in the bag), and saw that friggen reality show of theirs whose winner gets a job as the newest ESPN broadcaster...ugh. Talk about sellin' out.
But I was flipping through the channels a couple of weeks ago, and did catch "The Hustle". I thought the movie was good--it certainly didn't sully his reputation any more than he has--I think it may have helped, actually. Tom Sizemore is the actor who plays Rose--and he did a good job. They managed to make him look the part--they even got Tom's hair to do that Pete Rose thing. Sizemore was a convincing Rose, and captures for posterity exactly why the man should be banned from the game, but it does so in a way that sort of makes you feel sorry for him. But, not too sorry.
Well it looks like it's Astros Cards and Sox Yankees. I'm picking an Red Sox Astros world series. I really hope it won't be Cards and Yankees as I hate both teams and it would be tough to hear Tim McCarver gush over Jeter and Pujol's thighs all game.

No prob, I can't take full credit as the joke originated from all people Ben Affleck when he was on the Best Damn Sports Show Peroid. He did a great McCarver impression with something like "how many times can you talk about Jeter's thighs" comment. I just added Pujol's name as during game 4 McCarver calling Pujol's "built like a greek god" and "just a monstrious body" or some kind of comment like that.
Sorry about your Braves, I would root for your team more if they would just get rid of the "Tomahawk Chop" which is probably the most annoying thing I have ever seen.

i did?...i think you were tryin to trick into rootin for the braves...but if i did say braves i defintly meant astos...i like watching both jones play but thats about it....the braves are on tv so much but like the 6th game of the season im already sick of seeing them...its bad enough there on TBS 24/7 but they have to go and make the playoffs EVERY year so they stay on tv.....GET OFF MY TV!!!!
you're right doc, the tomahawk chop is rather annoying, specially cause whenever they do it, the inning ends
Go Sox! I love what Curt Schilling said yesterday...."I'm not sure I can think of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up"

Just to show how much the media has way to much coverage of the Yankees, look at how much publicity the death of Rivera's cousin's wife is getting, it made the front section on ESPN.com, yet when Jacque Jones' father died, it got a one line sentence at the end of the game summary, and when he hit a homerun in the first game back after visitng his family, all that gets is a little mention of, " he's playing with a heavy heart", and then on to " Jeter is the greatest player ever".
bleh! blah! grrrr! durn yankees...just gonna have to go get after em tomorrow, turn the page, schilling didn't have his good stuff, but it's good to know Pedro's on the nipple for Game 2

I have some worries for the BoSox if Schilling is done for the rest of the series. Also as the baseball tonight crew said, absolutely terrible move by Francona not bringing in Foulke in the 8th when there only down one and then bringing him in when there down 3. One thing to watch if the games keep close is if Rivera and Gordan innings catch up to them as both were used a lot during the regular season and the first round of the playoffs.
Well game 2 tomorrow. Let's see if Pedro can beat his daddy.
