They all deserved injuries after the way they left the team, excluding Penny. He got a raw deal. Pavano's a liar, and Burnett's just a jerk. Now, now, now. Getting after Burnett is completely understandable. But why Pavano? He was nothing short of total class when he left. I'm not surprised he's having a tough time adjusting to the pressure of pitching in NY. It never seemed like a good fit for him. But yet, he is still one guy I will always root for. Ryan should also be excluded from that list.

Well he?s right. Francona should keep what he talks with his players to himself.

I'm of the personal opinion that the main reason this country doesn't care is because we never win it. They should have cared back when the US got to host it back in 94'. Thats the kind of thing that may only get to happen once every 50 years or so. Its truely amazing that the US cares more about NASCAR than soccer, I mean even the middle east plays it.

ya well we are better than mexico and can beat them anywhere but mexico city. and we won the concacaf gold cup last year. i dont really understand how mexico deserved it more when we own them currently. we were ranked in the top 8 and should have been given a seed. period. fifa can goto hell and will do whatever they can to prevent the usa from winning the world cup. Thats probably true. As far as fifa is concerned it could be a tragedy if USA wins it, because nobody will probably care here. Then again maybe it helps the soccer grow here, but probably not.

We should have been seeded. But whatever, we're going to win our pool. FIFA hates us. So I'm not shocked. and we better win our pool or we are screwed. Mexico deserved it more. When they did it they were ranked higher and they did good in the Confederations Cup too, but FiFa does seem to have it against the whole Concacaf region except Mexico though, not just the US. The world cup host, Germany fell 3 more places and its ranked 22nd.

Maybe Loria will be the Nats and someone else buys the marlins[/dream]

They didn't use the Devil Rays in the question because they wanted students to work with larger numbers. OWNED Fcat is lame and has no impact on college or life its all about SAT. Maybe if public school taught towards the PSAT SAT and ACT skills public school more public school kids can get into college.Maybe if public school didn't teach to any test at all they'd actually churn out good students, who in turn would lead better lives besides just going to college. but since they cant live off mommy and daddy for the rest of their lives, they better go to college to live a productive one.

I hope they let sting go back to being sting....

Torborg is the trainer or something with the sox he used to wrestle for WCW as a kiss look alike. They should hire him as a wrestler instead pf having him do this gimmick with AJ, he was pretty good and he's the son of jeff which is kinda cool.

If we have to give up Olsen or Johnson, I rather do it for Reed even we have to give up more to do so.

Has Jacobs ever played in the OF?

I'd like to see something like: Ramirez Hermida Willingham Cabs Jacobs Stokes Uggla Abercrombie Maybe switch Hermida and Willingham but I'd love to see 2 guys who get on base a ton bat infront of Cabs. :mischief2 Can't exactly pitch around him too often if there's 2 guys on base! :mischief They can always give him the Bonds treatment and walk him with the bases loaded

Why not deal Pinto with Ungs and or Mitre instead?

Well, Ramirez is the closest thing we have to a lead off guy. You can also put Hermida as the lead off guy, but then you would have to put Hanley in front of cabs and break up the lefty-righty lineup. If get a CF that can lead off the lineup would be set because then you have him lead off with Hanley in the 7th or 8th spot.

Ramirez Hermida Cabrera Jacobs Stokes Willingham Uggla Abercombie If Opening day was tommorow thats what I would go with

Disgusting why? This is good for the MLS its like when Vergara came into the League with Chivas USA, foreign investors know soccer and they will help the league grow and hopefully eventually outgrow hockey and become a major sport here.

I wonder if playing a full major league season behind the plate would affect willinghams hitting. Maybe its more useful for the team to have him elsewhere The risk is very much worth the rewards of having a top offensive catcher. This season means nothing, so why not give him the chance to be a star? He'd be an above average LFer with the stick, but not even close to the impact bat at catcher.Dood, he's gonna be in the lineup anyways. Why not put him at the easier defensive position and the one he is better at? because at C he's a pontential all-star at LF he's just another player

IBF is a joke if this tournement is ever going to deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the World Cup theybetter come up with a powerful international body like FiFa. In Soccer,clubs and their leagues can be severely penelize(sp) if they dont give up players called in for international designated dates by Fifa. If A-rod were to be seriously injured in this tournoment MLB would it quits on this project, but if Beckham were to have a career injury in a English friendly game Real Madrid couldnt do sh*t and would still have to risk Ronaldo and all their stars when theri countries call on them unless they retire from international games which only players in their 30s do.

made a couple of changes assuming Petit gets traded which makes sense: ROTATION: SP-Dontrelle Willis SP-Brian Moehler SP-Jason Vargas SP -Josh Johnson SP-Scott Olsen BULLPEN: LRP-Nate Bump LRP-Sergio Mitre MRP-The Tank MRP-Randy Messanger MRP-Chris Resop MRP-Matt Herges SU-Travis Bowyer CP-Joe Borrowski DL: Megew

I dont know if someone posted this already but this test is waste of time, because students dont really need to pass this test to graduate. They need to pass the Math and Reading portions of it but not the Science and/or writing portions of it, at least not yet.

did anyone go to it?

Where's the Tank?

Bump was part of the championship team too.

they shoul also allow to put at how many months you were born. Since they dont they got my date of conception wrong. Which would have being cool to know.
