i actually liked
wright...
but that has a lot more to do with the fact that i like his style, from what i know about him.  not that i thought he would hit 16 in the first round

I will watch....
It's still a baseball game so I will watch it but I hate almost every outside aspect of it.  Not every team should get a player if they don't deserve one.  The fans shouldn't have the final say in who starts at all but especially because.......The outcome shouldn't decide home field in the World Series.

I almost forgot
Having pitchers in the lineup in this game is also stupid.  

by Chris Martin on Jul 11, 2006 7:11 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

it might as well be
a DH spot, no pitcher will hit.
it will actually be a simple way of getting people into the game.

They shoulda had ...
... Craig Bueno, his wife and maybe a box full of kittens spread around the infield and had Frankie Francisco and Doug Brocail 'coach' the HS kid in a chair toss for a million bucks.

No
The old Chevy jingle is good.

Singing about rally monkeys and free agents pisses me off, though.

Judging from her videos...
on Noggin, I bet she wears fun underwear.

the heads, shoulders, knees and toes routine?

by tdi1985 on Jul 11, 2006 8:10 PM CDT   0 recs

at least
scooter explained a fastball or a curveball.  What was the point of the head, shoulders, knees and toes thing?

evidently
vlad is the master at using his head shoulders knees and toes

With all this talk
about Wells with the Rangers, we tend to forget that he has rarely talked about coming to Texas. In fact, every time he is asked about it, he's rather indifferent and nonchalant.

Hmm...
maybe because he is under contract with the BlueJays. That would just be my guess though...

by Longhorn on Jul 11, 2006 8:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well usually
guys like Tori Hunter and other players will talk about wanting to go home and so on. I never hear that out of Vernon though. Still I hope he signs.
