I am watching SportsCenter right now. Gary Thorne is backing off the story. Maribelle (sp?) admitted to joking to Thorne and Throne took it seriously. Apparently this story is all to do about nothing.

Peace

Guess Gary needs to get the paint out of his ears.

I know you're all going to say "it's only April", but man, the Yankees look genuinely awful. They lose again at home and fall to 8-12. Their pitching is atrocious and they're pinning their hopes on getting Mussina and Pavano back? The bullpen is so bad that Torre has used Pettitte between starts twice already this month.

The Sox come up with another come-from-behind win and look ok, despite Manny and Papi slumping early. (Manny's batting around .185!) I hate getting sucked into being optimistic in April!

You walk the first 3 guys to start an inning and, gee, you think you might have some problems? Yankees get 4 off Dice-K in the 4th. Fortunately, Sox come right back against Pettitte. 6-4, but it's not over yet.

Wow...the Lions drafted another WR for their number 1 pick.

That steroid story that just broke out of New York today could very well be the year's biggest sports story before it's over. Apparently there is a pile of current and past Major Leaguers involved. The supplier agreed to co-operate too with both the prosecutors and the MLB investigation into steroid use.

Stay tuned......

I tend to think it was blood in Game 6 of the ALCS, but the sock at the HoF is actually from Game 2 of the WS.

Only in regards to gambling:

I'm shocked - shocked to find that an over/under value can be in integer!

Sad news in St. Louis today...

Cards P Hancock dies in car accident

Calvin Johnson, WR Georgia Tech [skills of Keyshawn, body of Terrell, work ethic of Jerry], threw out the first pitch at Comerica today.
It was high, ... way high.

[I had to find something related to the thread. :) ]

Well, that was fun. Five out of the first six go to the Sox. Papelbon looks great again. Ortiz hit a no-doubter into the 3rd deck, Manny hit one out, Cora hit one out and almost had a second one (had to settle for a triple). Manny only had one brain-fart (on the bases). Tavarez looked like himself (terrible), but the Sox won anyway.

Torre's probably going to take the blame, but he shouldn't.

BTW, anybody notice that the home plate ump was wearing a "livestrong" type bracelet, only it was black? Anybody know why?

Maybe it has to be something that does not draw attention. If he wore it above the elbow, it would be a problem, though.

Black wristbands are for hurricane Katrina (I know, you dinks in MA could care less about what happens south of Pawtucket).

Anyways...let's go Mets :rolleyes:

Hush yo mouth, chile!

Don't even kid about that.:D
