    Want to know why you don't get respect?

    Take our division out, and the Eagles were 5-6-1.

    My back-and-forth with an Eagles reporter

    Giants went 7-1 at home this year and 3-5 last year. 10-6 overall. Cards went 6-2 at home both years. 12-4 overall. Including playoffs, Cards are 13-4 at home, Giants are 10-7 (no home games for Giants in last years run.)

    The Official "National Media Excuse" thread

    I thought the call had something to do with the offensive lineman grabbing Smith so he basically couldn't throw Ryan to the ground. Look at this clip. He has his hands underneath Smith's shoulderpads. Really hard to throw someone to the ground like that.

    Article:Cards prove they're not ready for showtime

    Cumulative record of the Opponents of the "Elite" New York Giants: 32-49 (31-41 when not facing the Giants) Cumulative record of the Opponents of the lucky-to-have-a-winning record Arizona Cardinals: 40-41 (37-35 when not facing the Cardinals)

    And I thought are board was big,damn Yankees!

    I think one of the big reasons that people are going to think that the video board at Chase Field is bigger than the one in the New Yankee Stadium is that it has more square feet -- 6,256

    Randy Johnson, TRUE 2004 Cy Young winner

    Two points. One, Johnson should have won it anyway. Two, by your rationale, based on what I have heard, Roy Oswalt should be the 2004 NL Cy Young winner. Don't fool yourself.

    The Official "2008 Alex Rodriguez Sweepstakes" thread

    Good times? That was one of the worst signings ever, at the time! It didn't look good at all until November of 2001. Consider this: prior to the 2001 NLCS, Randy Johnson was a great regular season player, but could not do anything in the postseason. He won his first two playoff decisions in...

    Chris Young is HOT!!!

    He is batting .192 for August. .192! Nobody outside of Arizona is talking Chris Young for Rookie of the Year. He is not the best rookie. He's not even the best Chris Young (although he is the best rookie Chris Young). By the way, Ryan Howard is really bad at one of the corner positions. Jeff...

    Chris Young is HOT!!!

    And a .288 OBP. And a .235 Batting Average. 30/30 is impressive, but it doesn't make up for that. Braun has as many Total Bases in 132 less plate appearances.

    Chris Young is HOT!!!

    First visit in almost a year... Jon, you are being slightly homerish if you think Chris Young has any shot (at this point) for Rookie of the Year. Without the home runs, Young is pretty much worthless at the plate. His OBP is less than .300 -- absolutely terrible. He has over 100 Ks with...

    Players Who You Believed Used Illegal Performance Enhancing Substances?

    Best part of the article is where he says that "maybe all records belong to Babe." In a way, they do. Babe Ruth was the most unique player to ever play the game. No matter who passes him numbers wise, his legacy will never die. Part of me wonders if this isn't the thing people are really...

    Players Who You Believed Used Illegal Performance Enhancing Substances?

    If this is true, and I'm not sure if it is, though I do know steroids have been around in general since the 1930's, what about another pretty high-rpofile name? Roger Maris. Think about it. Kind of a journey man, traded by two teams in his first three years, with a career high of 28 homers...

    D-Back implicated in steroids probe.

    But did Durazo do it illegally? He's from Mexico, he lives in Mexico (I think), he goes to Mexico often. While it Mexico, Durazo could pretty much put any type of steroid into his body, and there was nothing wrong with it, prior to the ban by MLB.

    Bonds Exposed

    IMO, the best thing to happen would be for Bonds to retire before he breaks Aaron's record. Hopefully, before he passes the Babe as well, but I don't see that happening. Bud could suspend him, but there are too many ramifications for that. How can you suspend Barry for any more than ten...

    V for Vendetta

    Considering all of the allegory that the Wochowski (sp?) Brothers put into the Matrix movies, especially the first Matrix movie, I seriously doubt that their motivation here was "just about making a good story". Whether or not this was about the current administration is debatable, but the...

    Bonds Exposed

    Another thing I thought of, besides the cow mooing thing, would be, at a game, when Bonds hits a home run, have the Jumbotron play the clip from "Dumb and Dumber" when Jim Carrey says "He must work out!" as Bonds is rounding the bases. BTW, I don't care as much about steroids as a lot of...

    Do you agree with this?

    Don't forget that Ruth also had a stadium built for him to make it easier to hit home runs. Well, he didn't commmision the building of it, but it was built for him. Also, Ruth was drinking during the 1920's. Go read the Constitution and see how legal drinking was during the 1920's. How can...

    Bonds Exposed

    Steroids don't always make you bigger. In fact, I'm not sure if steroids directly will make you bigger, as one of the biggest benefits of steroids is the quicker recovery time that allows you to work out longer, harder, and more often. So the lack of change in Finley's body would not be evidence...
