You sure about that?
I spoke too quickly obviously. I still don't know whether he can be a full-time player at his age though. Only time will tell.

Can't get too excited over the Yankees lookin a l'il better lately either. After all, they were playing the Mariners(that one was for Rocky ).

Just finished reading Canseco's book. What a scumbag. Unfortunately, he's a believable scumbag though.

Next weekend--Pedro pitching against the Yankees at home. Wonder if he'll hit anybody if he has to bat afterwards. Heeheeheehee....

One of the passages that I heard on the radio was that Canseco claims that at one point (while he was with the Yankees, I think) after a rehab stint, he ran a 3.7 (maybe it was 3.9) in the 40 yard dash. In either case, that's almost world-record time. I don't find him believable at all. I think the book is a combo of (1) quick money to cover a lot of debts and (2) revenge for being kept out of baseball, when he felt he still had a chance to reach 500 career home runs (which has traditionally been a "magic number" for Cooperstown).

I saw Pedro pitch Saturday night at Miller Park.
First MLB game in 40 years.
My last game Earl Wilson and Carl Yastrzemski were in Detroit.

Yaz was just a youngster back then! Made it to Boston in '61.

You closer to Milwaukee than Detroit? I can't keep all that U.P./L.P. stuff straight.

Hadn't heard that story. Sad. Teddy Ballgame's kid didn't always seem on the up-and-up either. Shame.

When it comes to 'roids.......

Canseco named a buncha names in his book. Ain't nobody suing him. Coincidence?

I don't think so.

Of course, he also said that he spent all kinds of time laying in bed with Madonna and never did boink her. As I said before, he ain't the brightest guy in the world.

about 3-1/2 hours closer to Milwaukee and Minneapolis than to Motown.

Finally, someone on this thread with some class.

Being a Cub fan in central IL, I have to put up with Cardinal fans mostly, but this year the Sox fans are coming out of the woodwork as well. Oh well, at least the last time I heard from them it was '59!

And now for something completely different:

Mark, Jr., had two singles, for the first multi-hit game of his H.S. career as his H.S. freshmen baseball team won 10-8 last night.

Oh yeah, the Yankees won their fifth straight last night. Go Yankees!

Now you are teaching your son the proper way to attempt to avoid being hit by a pitch, right? Manny's method of ducking his head into the ball isn't the best.

Manny would rather get hit in the head than the body anyway.. Less chance of getting injured.

That one was for Chuck.

Btw, re: Manny.... personally I think that the BoSox are much better manned than the Yankees in left field, catcher and DH. Manny is a hitting machine, Varitek is a real leader and Ortiz just scares the hell outa me every time I see him up with men on base.

Hard to defend that "move". The one thing I can say is that it was a breaking ball that started out at his head. If it had been a fastball (which Manny obviously thought it was), then ducking your head would be the quickest method of getting out of the way.

Course, even in Little League, I was taught to turn away first then duck.

Jr. is like his old man, a hard headed Italian. He knows how to take one for the team.
