  1. Is it me or what? I'm taking in the World Series between Yanks and Marlins and everytime Jeff Conine
    comes to bat I can't help but notice a resemblance to Lance Armstrong. Told the wife about it and
    she thought maybe a slight resemblance. If anybody takes in the Series see if my perception is acute
    or do I have cycling on the mind.

    BTW, I live in Miami, but born in Bronx, New York. I want Yanks to win.

    To me, they represent everything that's wrong with major league baseball. When one of their players
    isn't hitting .300 or screws up enough defensively big George opens his wallet and buys a better (or
    just hotter at the moment?) player. Its pretty pathetic.

    Besides, if Pedro came out when he should have they may have been playing the Marlins instead of
    sitting at home and playing with the remote.

    Wouldn't matter. It would just delay the eventual onset of the curse.

    I suppose you like the parity in the NFL where 80% of the teams will be 8-8?

    Dumbass -

    Yes.

    The NFL is far more competitive than MLB which is more interesting for those of us who desire that
    particular quality of a spectator sport.

    YMMV.

    Dumbass -

    In the past, Heras hasn't been a threat, due to the parcours. He cannot beat LANCE or JAN in the TdF
    because of his poor flat TT abilities. His tactic which best suits his talent is waiting till the
    last 5k of a long climb, then putting in his attack. Can't gain enough time that way to make up for
    the many minutes lost in the TTs.

    The Vuelta is different. Different types of climbs (shorter and steeper).

    Next year the TdF could be a somewhat different since the TT goes uphill. But the TdF climbs still
    don't suit Heras the same way that the Vuelta does.

    As for the rest of the USPS team - who's a threat? They're hired because they're very good
    support riders.

    That is equally pathetic.

  11. It's difficult to respond to someone that listens to Tim McCarver way too much to take seriously,
    but the fact is Ramirez was pointing into his own dugout. I'll now return you to your Fox Broadcast.

    ,,, or attacks a groundskeeper for cheering for his Team???

    It Figures. Red Sox fans.

    Was the groundskeeper 72 years old? Also, lots of class against Oakland when Sox pitcher Lowe
    kept grabbing his crotch on the mound in a gesture to the A's dugout or Ramirez pointing to the
    A's bench after homering. Let's not forget Mueller "winning" season batting title while sitting
    on the bench.

    Besides, if Pedro came out when he should have they may have been playing the Marlins instead of
    sitting at home and playing with the remote.
