  1. I'm failing to see what your point is, now. For starters, when did I mention anyone being worthy of the Hall of Fame? Especially Edgar Martinez? He's viewed as a potential Hall of Famer, but not be me, and I sure as hell didn't bring that up, so excuse my confusion. And if you want to compare him to David Ortiz (for what reason, I don't know), that's fine. You want a home-run hitter? Ortiz is your man. But if you want someone with a career .312 average (as opposed to Ortiz's .281) or someone who had a career on base percentage over .400, you'd have Martinez. Again, I don't see what that had to do with anything, but by "numbers are already better", I'm assuming you were just talking homeruns and runs batted in. And what difference does it make if he was in the same line-up as Griffey, A-Rod, and Buhner? How does that make any kind of argument against the DH rule? Or are you still having this phantom argument about whether he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame or not?
  2. I'm sorry but that's one hell of a stupid reason. If guys aren't good enough to play they aren't good enough to play. Any special circumstances created is flat out dumb. If you're a good enough bat teams will play you. If you're a good enough talent...learn to play the field. Apparently that isn't the case, as that's exactly why those three played as long as they did. It's the DH rule. It's a special circumstance. A rule that allows players that are good enough at bat, that don't have to play the field. Or were you telling me that my reasoning for being for it was stupid?
  3. I'd settle for third place in the AL East this year as long as the Sox finish dead last.
  4. I'm for it. As someone else mentioned, guys like Molitor, Baines, and Edgar Martinez would not have been active as long as they were were it not for the DH rule. I don't expect the National League to adopt it, and I wouldn't want them to. I like that the two leagues have a big difference like that between each other, and it's interesting to see how teams adjust during interleague play.
  5. We have DC United tonight in the U.S. Open Cup play-in. Then Saturday night, in primetime, we play the Red Bulls and I'll be there front and center. Doop doop doop! ^_^
  6. I'm doing Script Frenzy. I use to write screenplays all the time in school, but when you get out in the real world, that talent doesn't take you far. I co-wrote one a few months back with my friend that works for NASA TV. We may film it Summer of 2012. I'm currently fourteen pages in my Script Frenzy project and feeling good about it so far.
  7. One of the worst college basketball championships I have ever seen. Just terrible.
  8. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6290035 Shaka passes up NC State to stay at VCU.
  9. Mets are just trying not to get any of their fans hopes up this year. Awfully nice of them, really.
  10. Oh, come on, Toronto. Quit feeding the beast, you bastards.
  11. We're in first place and the Red Sox aren't! Take that ESPN!
  12. Cleveland Browns scored a touchdown, and are within another score of tying it, as it's now 14-7.
  13. Watching the game, it was more of Houston's bullpen bending over and taking it in the ass. Phils had two hits in the first six innings against the starter, and looked terrible.

  15. Or that the Spurs are getting old and would only be dominant in a 50-game season.
  16. Hot. Boner.

      I'd imagine Boner was quite cold once they found him. :-/

  17. I think Griffey was the last remaining player from when I started watching. Christ, we're old. EDIT: Oh, and Jamie Moyer. But that bastard will still be playing when I'm long gone. >_>
  18. OPENING DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY YEAH!
  19. I like that he picked the Galaxy to beat us. That bodes well considering his horrible prediction percentage.
  20. Lame. Oh, well. Go Butler or VCU. Shame they play each other.
  21. Happy Birthday, Fitzy.

  22. We've now given up 92 points to Charlotte and it's just the end of the third quarter. >_<
  23. Which shouldn't surprise anyone because Timothy Olyphant is awesome. Speaking of which, I just watched The Crazies. I enjoyed it, because I went in with really low expectations. It was fun in that B-movie kind of way.
  24. Butler going to the Final Four again is just awesome. Brad Stevens is a hell of a coach.
