Baseball

talk about a potential no win situation ...  to pitch Beckett or not...

don't and lose.... Francona will never hear the end of it

don't and win... meerly only got H.F.. with Dice K up for a potential game 7? 

do and lose. with him on short rest and throwing off the 'rest' of the rest of the schedule. He'll never hear the end of it and the Sox will be finished.

do and win... you've still got Shilling on short rest., who wasn't exactly impressive... and still may be looking at having to win both in Boston ..who pitches game 6, against  Carmona,

Three down, one more to the World Series.

^ I assume it's including all runs scored in a game, not just the Rockies.  Still, that's a hell of a high number.

In 2001, there were a major league-high 268 homers hit out of Coors Field. This year, there were 185, which ranked 10th." That's a huge difference!

wow.. that is a hell of a difference.. .I do miss hearing the punch-line.  'Coors Canaveral' though hahahhah

How about Trot Nixon beating his old team yesterday?  It's nice to see that series tied, I'm not too keen on the Red Sox this year, I'd rather see someone else win it all.  

^ The Rockies are frickin amazing Ivan... missed last night's game


hopefully the Indians can make a series of this...

Torre is a great manager, and he did get into the playoffs what  12 years in a row? Including this year when they started 21-29. And it sure is sounding like A-rod will leave. It's true he dosn't get much love here.....

"Fires personnel like it's a bodily function," to quote a Seinfeld episode.  

I think there's a decent chance of Mattingly taking the coaching spot since George picked him for bench coach.  However, George does have a tenancy to do things that are totally unexpected, so I guess we'll really just have to wait and see.

you know...  I wonder as well.. I remember last night someone commented how, trailing the Indians in an elimination game in the playoffs, the Yanks were seen on camera laughing carrying on.  Maybe the 'Mr. T.' father figure type has to go... that team didn't have any fire..  no intensity... and maybe someone like Mattingly who might kick some ass would be a good change for the team.  Personally though.. I don't think it will be him.  Who was it... Joe Guaraldi (sp?) has been waiting in the wings.  I think George wanted him last year after the Tigers took out the Yanks.
