Yeah, who wants to hear about a kid who just stopped chemo 9 months ago pitiching the winning game in the World Series. I would much rather listen to how ARod wants $30,000,000. a year for 5 years. What a feel good story ARod is, I just get that warm fuzzy feeling...

I hate to be a poopie here...now you all know that...but what's the big deal?

The individual IS bigger than the pro game itself. The game exists only for the benefit of the individual. That's why players have "my players" and that's why they are "kings" and "chosen ones" and yer whatnots.

That's why someone can opt out of a $25 million a year contract because there is always a preordained fool out there who will go to $30 million in order to install a big sissy into their lineup.

I mean who cares about the money? The sucker fans will pay it.


Let's get rid of the notion about any sports hallowed "the game" status.







It doesn't exist anymore.





















Thank all that is good we have those OHIO STATE MAD DOG FIGHTING BUCKEYES.






NUMBER ONE IN ALL THE POLLS..


....AND IN ALL THE LAND....






....AND IN THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF ALL GOOD,STRONG GOD FEARNG PEOPLE IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS.....









.....AS WELL AS ON MY SCRABBLE BOARD ON DISPLAY UPON MY FINE REFINISHED OAK TABLE.

For your sake, I hope they don't go the way of the Tribe...

I am fearful of what might happen to you...

Be more fearful of what would happen to Ohio State.

Fail me once....you die.




Don't even think of failing me twice.

Please re-sign Lowell.

Lowell = Class

Arod = not so much class

Just my humble opinion.

That is a fair statement, but I don't see it happening. Lowell will get resigned. The only way I see it happening is if someone takes Lugo and they get ARod to play short...and this will never happen. Lowell stays in Beantown (that and you take him out of Fenway, and I think he goes back to being what the Marlins had his last year there. The Green Monster has resurected his career).

I don't want to see ARod play for the Sox, I hope he goes to LA.

They have NO shot to get anyone to take Lugo with that 3 year contract. You would love Arod if he was there. He may hit 65 hitting in front of Ortiz and Ramirez
