I don't think you can find a single team from 1995 to 2005 that didn't have at least a few players roiding up. Methinks all stats during that era are pretty suspect.

And not only that......

Manny was the reason that the Cubbies didn't win the World Series in 2008.

Yup, our longest running national tragedy would now be over except for Manny.

It's true, it's true.....


To come: Manny and Japan's recent earthquake.

We really should start a "meltdown" thread

Yeah, baby. 8 in a row. When they lose 17 of 25 in May they'll be just a few games below .500 instead of done for the year.

Hey, where's your skepticism about the Rangers?

It's taken a back seat to his glee about the Red Sox. But at least Dice-K looked great last night

I was wondering why ESPN was showing the batting practice. I thought there was supposed to be a game on at that time.

Astros and Cubbies on tonight on Fox Sports Houston. I wonder if they both will find a way to lose?

I would like to point out for the record, this 13th day of April, 2011, neither the Orioles nor the Nats are in last place in their respective Divisions. So far, it's a good yr.......and while we're hoping for the best, we understand it's way too early yet.

Now, if both teams could only get some fannies in the seats......

Stop stealing M&M Guy's punch lines.

In response to Kobe Bryant's recent homopathic slur and allegations that the NBE administers different penalties for superstars versus the scrubbies, the NBE head office issued a press release today condemning Kobe's actions. They also announced that as a result of Kobe's heinous actions, the Lakers' Steve Blake would be suspended for 5 games and fined $50,000(which will go to a charity of Kobe's choosing).

It's true, it's true......
