whats this kid doing popping champange ?? i hope he doesnt get arrested.

The mets sweep us? will we not be wild card champs?

"Maroone" in Miami is "Courtesy" in Orlando and "Autonation" in Tampa. autonation is in s.fla too. its owned by wayne H. or at least used to be

i actually got my car at the maroone ford by the Pro my mom got hers there also i guess my family encourages those damn commercials you fool. so feeble minded u fall for taht crap.

I cant believe we might go to the playoffs after we loss 100 games in 2000 and in 2001 we only won 60 games! What a thrill this year has been! Get the Bottles poppin in 2001 we amost got the wildcard.

LMAO! The white dude is the best part of all the commercial.If you look at his face you can tell he is miserable. Oh and the real reason I think they put 1 white guy was so nobody would complain about the commercial being racist. they shoudl have had a hispanic and a chinease and a handicapped guy too then.

how??? cuz it wasnt made for baseball. the upper deck in LF and RF and CF are extended too far taht only the front row can see past the 275 ft. the rest get a cut off view. go to a dolphin game and sit there and u will see what im talking about.

so Enc is a little below average than the other Right feilders.. all the rest of our position players are above avg compared to other teams. I'll take Enc as the worse starter on my team anyday. Stop crying.

Xcited is that the totally awesome radical way to write excited? of course the X makes it COOL TO THE MAX. IT IS XTREME. cowabunga dude.

The entire upper deck is open for every game. If the people come, they'll open it all up. its open every game because they dont want to tarp it because of football season. they dont open it up just like that. they gotta plan for it because then theres no staff there. plus alot of those areas you cant see the OF. the view goes like 275 FT to the OF, then it just cuts off.

and that black guys lips are huge when he say "who u gonna call"?

I'm sure he hasn't changed his mind either. The problem is right field is the star position. Sosa, Bonds, Walker, Sheffield, etc. He's not an All-Star but he's sure as hell good enough for me. Sheff is better in LF. Walker sucks this year so dont count him. Sosa is hiting .268 w/ 98 RBI. ENC is actually better than most RF. only big names are better than him. Oh and RF doesnt have to be the star position.

If we don't get 60K for the first (and maybe, but hopefully not the last) playoff game, I'm going to spit. marlins didnt even have 60 k in 1997 until the WS. it was 55 K in NLCS i think and 45 in NLDS. they opened more seasts for each series.

scarred because of TJ's stupidity.... DAMMIT JACK WHAT IS UP WITH YOU RIGHT NOW!?! although Brad still looks very strong, 127 pitches is stupid they will have to pitch this much in the playoffs. penny was throwing 98 in the 8th inn. u need to let the kids get a long game once in a while. today & yesterday was big lead so it waas ok.

u know dan marino owns that company.

Saunders was a brave killer all season long. something like 4-0. Pavano only has 1 win against giants. it could be a fluke.

NEALS DONT f***ING JINX IT

whitesox GM spent all their reserves to win taht devision. what a way to f*** up.

he hit .282 this yr. I think he can still play. In a Lenny Harris role I think is ok. Players should play as long as they can play for.

maybe he traded his a**. they dont call him trader jack for nothin

FA yr = GET ROIDED

larkin is 2240 Hits in his career. thats not 3000. and hes .295 career hitter and only 190 HRs in 18 yrs. how is that 1st ballot and why should he make what grace and gywn made? those guys ar pure hitters. Larkin is not that type of hitter.

CINCINNATI -- Barry Larkin's 18-year playing career with the Cincinnati Reds will soon be at an end. Club management was unable to agree on a one-year contract for 2004 with Larkin, effectively severing his association with the only organization he has played for once this season concludes. "Obviously, there's no doubt what Barry Larkin has meant to this organization and to this city," Reds Chief Operating Officer John Allen said at a Monday night news conference. "His performance speaks for itself. ... Barry Larkin, for many years, was the heart and soul of this team. He's going to be greatly missed. I guess really, that's kind of it in a nutshell." Larkin, the Reds' first-round selection in the 1985 First-Year Player Draft, ascended to the Major Leagues the following season and soon became the team's most recognizable and accomplished performer. The Cincinnati native's numerous achievements include the 1995 National League Most Valuable Player award, 11 All-Star selections and three NL Gold Gloves for defensive excellence. Larkin hastened the evolution of shortstops as key sources of offense by becoming the first player at his position to exceed 30 homers and 30 stolen bases in the same season in 1996. Larkin, 39, is on the disabled list with a sprained left ring finger and is unlikely to be activated before Sunday's regular-season finale against Montreal at Great American Ball Park. Allen said Larkin will be with the team and in uniform for Cincinnati's final six games but has declined the opportunity to be honored by the club with a "day" in his behalf. "I was told that in business, if you don't produce, you get taken off the shelf," Larkin told The Cincinnati Enquirer. "They said some pretty matter-of-fact things today that I won't repeat. I'm just very disappointed." Eric Goldschmidt, Larkin's agent, said that his client "absolutely" wants to play in 2004, indicating that he'll venture into free agency this offseason. Allen said that the Reds' hierarchy had discussed a potential contract extension for Larkin for much of the year. Larkin's three-year, $27 million contract, which he negotiated with team owner Carl Lindner in July 2000, expires after this season. But without a general manager controlling day-to-day baseball operations for the Reds since Jim Bowden was relieved of his duties on July 28, Larkin and Goldschmidt had nobody to negotiate with until Allen made an offer by telephone on Saturday. Allen said that the Reds' one-year proposal included performance bonuses for plate appearances, games played and games started that would have doubled the deal's value. Though Allen declined to divulge the figure of the base salary, Goldschmidt said it was $500,000. Barry Larkin / SS Height: 6'0" Weight: 185 Bats/Throws: R/R More info: Player page Stats Hit chart Reds site After Larkin and Goldschmidt declined the offer, Allen suggested that the sides "sleep on it" until Monday. Allen then submitted essentially the same offer in a telephone call to Goldschmidt, who spurned it again. A face-to-face meeting between Allen and Larkin did not bridge the gap. Nor did a phone conversation Larkin had with Lindner, whose reaction to the support of Reds fans for the team captain prompted the 2000 contract extension. Allen believed Larkin would accept the club's offer. "I've got to admit I'm a little bit surprised," he said. "Based on the feedback I got from Barry and his agent, we weren't even close." "The reason that the amount of money that they offered me was unacceptable is because of the principle," Larkin told The Cincinnati Enquirer. "I was surely not looking to break the bank. But there are other players out there that have been loyal to franchises and that have done some things in their careers that I think (were) respected by the franchises. This contract shows me the door, basically." Goldschmidt said that his client merited the sort of compensation that San Diego outfielder Tony Gwynn received in 2001, his final season, and that Arizona first baseman Mark Grace is earning this year. Gwynn earned $2 million; Grace is playing for $1.75 million. "Those are players more of Barry's caliber," Goldschmidt said, citing the $500,000 figure as something a Spring Training invitee would merit. "... The $500,000, in relation to what players on his team and in the industry make, is not where Barry should be slotted. I'm sure John Allen did not present all those facts to the owner." Allen said that Lindner approved the offer. "In our situation, we had a contract amount we thought was fair and fit into our structure," Allen said. Asked if a new general manager might reconsider and make Larkin a more lucrative bid, Allen replied, "At this point in time, I just don't see, knowing where we are salary structure-wise and so forth, that our offer's going to change." Since July 29, the Reds have lowered that salary structure by trading veterans with seven-figure contracts such as third baseman Aaron Boone, catcher Kelly Stinnett, left-hander Gabe White and right-handers Scott Sullivan and Scott Williamson. Larkin's situation, charged Goldschmidt, was different: "Barry and I both believe that John Allen doesn't want him on the team. You don't start negotiating basically on Saturday, make an offer that you know is totally unacceptable and three days later say, 'Take it or leave it' and it's over." Asked if he thought Larkin would accept a modest salary after having received his previous deal, Allen said, "Not really, because I know that Barry has felt that the last contract was, to a certain extent, a payment for previous services, where he felt he was playing below market value. I can't speak for Barry Larkin, but that's my personal interpretation of the last three years." Injuries have limited Larkin to 260 games, a .257 average, 11 home runs, 82 RBIs and 18 stolen bases in that three-year period -- including this season, when he went on the disabled list twice in the first two months with strained calf muscles. Before 2001, Larkin's career batting average was an even .300; it has dwindled to .295. This year, Larkin batted .282 with two home runs and 18 RBIs in 70 games. Allen referred to Larkin's struggles to stay on the field in explaining the Reds' contract offer. "Part of our problems this year, I think anybody will realize, has been the number of players on the DL," Allen said. "... We're last in the National League in defense and that's not Barry Larkin's fault, certainly. But some of the things we have to look at is making sure we have healthy players next year and a solid defense. We have a lot of work to do in the offseason." Ramp, 500k isnt the league min. 300 k is. stop blaming the reds FO. They even signed him for 27 mill for 3 years before this just to rid e pine. Barry and his agent were being buttholes. Barry doesnt want to finish his career with a team that is rebuilding. He never got a ring before. what do you expect? for reds to sign him for 3 mill to be on the DL again? we got tim raines for league min. and rickey is playing for a bag of balls in LA. larkin is not a 1st ballot HOF. look at his career stats.
