roflmao -- jesus christ that was good -- joke of the week

besides I love what rules sports chose to try to appear to enforce and what they blatantly try to ignore.

but Dan not to take away from your post -- if I was drinking anything right now it would have been respectfully deposited on my screen.

The Cubbies' Mark Prior is done for the year after shoulder surgery.

All kidding aside, that is a real shame. He was a promising, hopeful staff ace that was derailed by constant injuries.

We now resume our regular dumping on the Cubs.

Just an aside, but wouldn't it be great to bring in a 2nd baseman to lob in pitches for 755 & 756 to truly cheapen the record?

Interesting idea.

Can you bring in the bullpen catcher...? Prolly not.

Wow! I like it.

Mick, it has been well-documented that Baker left those guys out there for 135, 140, or even more pitches. That is what I am talking about. I think that he overworked them for his benefit. I have no idea what Minnesota did with Liriano.

Gee, say it isn't so, all you die-hard BoSox fans (you know who you are )........

The truth comes out. The famous Schilling bloody Sox sox was painted red for public relations reasons. Iow, the red sox wasn't actually a red sox.

If it's in GQ and on tv, it simply has to be true!

Tsk, tsk, tsk.......

Little kids are crying today all over New England.

I'm shocked that the Globe would even print allegations like that.

It ain't so.

Mirabelli adamantly denies ever making such a comment. The surgeon who performed the procedure on Schill says it was blood. Even Kevin Millar, who now plays for Balitimore, says it was blood. The curiator of the Baseball Hall of Fame, where the sock now resides, says that the stain has faded to a brownish color with some pink tints. That would happen with blood, but not with paint.

Nobody in New England is crying about this. The likeliest answer would seem to be that Mirabelli was kidding around with Thorne, and Thorne didn't get the joke. But Mirabelli denies ever saying anything about it to Thorne -- even as a joke -- and got visibly upset when addressing the media about it. So why would Thorne throw it out there? Wierd.

Yea, I saw that too. Actually, the injury that started it had nothing to do with pitching - it was a result of running into one of the Giles brothers on the basepath a few years back. His shoulder has never been the same since.

They can say that, but I still believe that Dusty Baker ruined both Prior and Wood by overpitching them when he was in charge there.

Despite what anyone says, I don't think that he is a quality manager. He sacrificed the future of his players so that he could obtain wins during his tenure and land a large deal for himself.

Sounds right, like Francisco Liriano was abused last year in the Cities.
