Apologies to chuck for hijacking his precious thread. |
No problem about hijacking at this point. I'm just happy it's getting traffic. More Sox news:
Coco Crisp reportedly traded to Kansas City Better hope Ellsbury can produce for a whole season next year. He's had a good Sept/Oct in '07 and a good first half in '08. He's going to have do it for the whole season now. |
I'm glad to see Lincecum win the NL Cy Young, I'd say he definitely deserved it! Now here's hoping the Giants hold on to him and he doesn't go all "Barry Zito" on them.
Coco Crisp traded to KC Royals...Rice Krispie fans are up in arms. In other news, Milton Bradley was traded for Parker Brothers. |

Ah yes, the Cubsters. I see that Ryan Dempster just signed a 4-year contract...and immediately went on the Kerry Wood Memorial 1461 day(including Leap Year) Disabled List. Btw, do you know how to make a Hormone? |

Control over the Yankees organization passes to George Steinbrenner's youngest son, Hal. Hank says he's ok with it. Anybody want to bet otherwise? :D
Mussina retires with 270 wins. Any consideration for the Hall of Fame? He's just a little short of the "magic" number. Does he have a shot? |
The Moose ???
Quote:
No: No Cy Young Award. Never won 20 games in prime. As you already stated, short of "magic" 300 wins. I can't believe that I'm talking baseball in November. It's 25 degrees outside. |
Quote:
I say no HOF. |
Quote:
2) It's the Hall of <b>Fame</b>, not the Hall of Above Average. Of course, the mitigating factor for Mussina might be that he won his 270 in the Steroid Era, and was generally considered to be one of the "clean" pitchers while doing so. That might be a big factor come voting time in 5 years. It might get him in, while a 'roid monkey like Clemens gets ignored. |

First rounder? Probably not. Eventually make it? Probably. There's so much $ out there and so many injuries, these numbers will get fewer and further away..... |
Sox give AL MVP Dustin Pedroia a huge long-term deal: 6-years, $40.5 million.
Yanks offer arbitration to exactly nobody. |

In this day and age, with our current economy, my heart truly bleeds for someone "only" making $40.5 million over 6 years........if they can't live on that for a while, tell em all to go get a job! "Cheapen the offers of others" who follow....sheesh! :mad:

Greg Maddux has thrown his last pitch.
"The four-time Cy Young winner will announce his retirement Monday.
Greg Maddux spent 12 years of his 19-year career with the Atlanta Braves, where he won three of his four straight NL Cy Young Awards from 1992-95. He finishes with a record of 355-227 and a career ERA of 3.16. .... earned a record 18 Gold Gloves while with the Chicago Cubs, Atlanta, Dodgers and Padres." .....Maddux helped the Braves win division titles for more than a decade, and they won their lone World Series championship there in 1995." Now - these kind of numbers will make it difficult for Moose to get the votes on the same ballot. |
The Tribune Company is considering bankruptcy, apparently. Might drive the price of the Cubs down a bit.

Anyone like to guess the other pitcher was who had 15+ wins each of the 5 seasons between 1995-99? |

Interesting. Here's my question:
Who's the only player to hit 2 home runs in the same inning from opposite sides of the plate? |

CC is all but a Yankee.
K-Rod is all but a Met. Kerry Woods will be playing in Cleveland. |

As a longtime A's fan, I'm interested to see what the reacquisition of Jason Giambi and the flabbergasting trade for Matt Holliday will do for the team. They've got pretty solid young pitching, and there's definitely gonna be more thump in the lineup.
