The Sultan of Swank

Of course the one Bonds AB I don't watch this week he hits for 755.

Why are you afraid of heights. It's one of the coolest things to me. The freedom of all that space.

good god its funny.

Isn't the job of a GM to put together the best possible team, and not worry about stepping on peoples toes. Lowe was ready to part ways with a bunch o' picks, so there's no reason why it shouldn't happen.

I'm not, how can you compare a superstar to a legend.

Simply great. Worth my 10 bucks. I laughed.

I understand that the purpose for the teams is to do whatever it takes to win championships, I just feel that as previously stated, when you spend far and away more than any other team does or feisably(sp?) can, it's somewhat annoying. It's like if you were an 18 year old playing in a 14 year old league.

Ryder signs 1 year deal with Montreal, 2.95M avoids arbitration.

I hate the Yankees, not because of the team, but because of the fact that they try to buy world series wins. The Rangers do that a lot in hockey... they fail a lot too.

I'm in the 1934 season and I think I might have assembled the greatest team to ever take the field. I started off the first two months of the season very well going 43-14, in June, I managed to stretch that to 66-17 going 23-3. In July I went 24-5 to put myself at 90-22. What happened next was just unreal, in August and September my team went 42-0. In fact, all told the undefeated streak went from July 21 to September 16th a span where we went 53-0. I finished the season at 132-22 for a .857 season. My lineup is as follows: C Bill Dickey 1B Jimmie Foxx 2B Buddy Myer 3B Pinky Whitney SS Mark Koenig LF Babe Ruth CF Wally Berger RF Mel Ott My 4 man pitching staff: Tommy Bridges (30-1) Mel Harder (28-5) George Blaeholder (31-3) Waite Hoyt (21-1)

Yeah, for all the hope Toronto had for this season, they really dropped the ball.

Well I know a place in Pierrefonds that does that but I suppose that's of no help. Try looking for places that make trophies.

Fuckin' Served. (Heatley, not CKN)

I'm running in 1913, I have championships in 03,04,06,07,09,10,11. I've got the Babe, Cobb and Walter Johnson all on the same team. You can't handle us. Also, with all of my cash I built a brand new stadium which ups my possible attendance from 18,800 to 50,000. Coincidentally this also made my budget about 100,000 more than the New York teams and about 200,000 more than the other teams.

Eric and Jordin Stall were arrested and charged this morning with disorderly conduct after a batchelor party got out of hand. - TSN.

Well my staff ace Bill Donovan finished as the NL strikeout leader with 230, ERA leader at 2.42, the NL MVP, Cy Young winner an an Allstar. He finished with a 26-8 record. Cobb who I had to give up some very good prospects for, finished with a .324 average, 155 hits, 31 doubles, 7 homers and 81 RBI in 124 games to take home the rookie of the year. When my team was shit, I had Cy Young as my ace, after 2 seasons and his request for a $35,000 contract, I decided to trade him away and got some excellent prospects to go along with my draft picks. A few key free agent signings and I've got a core of the team represented by Jimmy Williams (3B), Harry Steinfeldt (LF) the addition of Cobb (RF) in the field with an indestructible pitching staff in Bill Donovan, Walter Johnson, George Bell and Oscar Jones.

Absolutely. I'm in a game started in 1901. I'm in the middle of 1905 right now, I won the World Series last season after 3 rebuilding years. I've now got the rookies Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson(who in 4 starts has pitched 3 shutouts).

Right so I picked up BM08 yesterday and it is awesome. It's basically much the same game as 06 and what I saw from the 07 demo, but it's a great game so I didn't mind the 25 bucks. I'm wondering if anyone else has bought the game or played the demo, and what you think.

Which is...?

U2 play the greatest goal song ever played... even if periodically 2005 calls and asks for it back.

I wondered that after the movie. The world is saved so all the damage they caused would be forgiven, but when the world isn't in peril and they're leaving craters all over the fucking place, who's going to pay to fix that?

I think CKN and I will disagree as we'll be kicking it PS3 style.

On the Yashin front. And I'm just putting this out there, but he had comparable numbers to one Paul Kariya.
