like I said earlier, Leiter had a decent outing because the Sox have not seen him enough to know what he pitches or where he likes to pitch.

Now, the AL East has a nice little, interesting race going.

DerickW and P&S will be at the Sox game tonight, box seats on the 1st base line.
Love many, trust few and don\'t be late.

Leiter was also working on a lot of rest.

Mets? who they hell are they? When we talk NY it is Yankee land, what the hell is a MET?

Here is another Q that needs an A. Why does Jon Olerud wear a hard plastic helmut at first, I noticed he has done this with all the teams he has played with. Did he try starting a new style and it never caught on or is it because he has hard balls thrown at him all day?

Olerud’s choice of headgear stems from a near tragic incident he endured during his college years; while attending Washington State University in 1989, Olerud suffered a brain hemorrhage and an aneurysm during a morning workout. Though he recovered, doctors advised him to wear a protective batting helmet while playing first base or pitching (he was a two-position player in college), in order to protect against line drives and collisions with baserunners that might result in contact with the skull.

al leiter is going to get tagged next time he hits the mound. watch, the opposition will light his ass up. good outing yesterday, yes. terrible season so far that will continue, yes.

i knew about olerud and the head injury, i remember hearing way back that he actually had a small metal plate in his head too?

we will worry about next time when it comes around. All I care about now is Kevin "old as dirt" Brown and how he fares this evening.

I am finally happy to learn the truth about Olerud\'s head.

Angels and Padres still leading their divisions just in case you east coasters forgot abt baseball out here. Oh and Yank fans the Angels are gonna put a hurtin\' on your team here pretty soon. :awwyeah:
Worrying is like praying for something you don't want.

I didn\'t even know baseball existed outside of the Red Sox and Yankees. Who are these teams you speak of?

Damn Bernie Williams, I thought he was dead, I can\'t believe he is still alive.

I hate Fox broadcasters. I don\'t really like YES\'s either. Interestingly enough, mainly because I watch baseball over P&S\'s (who is a Sox fan), I enjoy the broadcasting of the NESN crew, fan of Remdawg.


I\'m not sure why Rem-Dog is so popular - he seems like kind of a dummy, though at least he\'s a modest guy and not an elite jerk.

I will never undertsand why people pay so much for "good" seats.

No Wolfman comments after the weekend ranting between board members. . I am SHOCKED, absolutely SHOCKED! ;)


I can\'t wait till Wolfman returns with more hostile fire.  I love his fanatical baseball-bashing posts for their entertainment value (he is kind of clever you must admit).

On another note, I checked the sports page in a newspaper and it appears that the Yankees are quite a few games above .500.  How can they suck if they are doing decent?  Must be a comparison of the excessive payroll vs. performance.
