I have been fighting with a douche Sox fan all day about this shit. I told him not to get his hopes up for the playoffs just because they got this dick rag. He said Aramis and D-Lee both were good with Pittsburgh and Florida, respectively, but have sucked since coming to the Cubs. Shows how much credibility the asshole has.

Sounds like an informed baseball fan.

Mattingly to replace Joe Torre next season.

[funkster]

That seems crazy.

[Destined]

Dumbest news ever to come out of the Pac-10/12.

Damn commies. Guess they'd prefer to live in trees, grow beards and save the earth from the carbon footprint generated from manufacturing metal bats.

Fuck Cal.

[funkster]

Oh god.

[Coach]

Brewers are not picking up the option on Ken Macha

[Coldneck]

Matt Murton broke Ichiro's record for most hits in a season in Japan.

And he will still continue to suck if he attempts to earn a job in the States. He should stay in Japan and make a name for himself there.

Also, Ichiro played in something like 10 less games when he originally set the record.

[Butcher]

Tuffy Rhodes and Matt Murton -- ex-Cubs who shine in the Orient...

[Scarey]

I bet Murton is a superstar there at this point. You don't see too many prominent red heads over there.

i just checked, and tickets behind the first base dugout at Tropicana field are available for purchase to anyone who wants them, less than 24 hours before the game starts.

In other words, Tampa can't sell out playoff games. What a joke.
