Amen. Maddux is a pitcher's pitcher.

On top of that, is there another pitcher who's won more Gold Gloves?


Cheers, :drink:

Last night, the Rockies and Padres played 2.5 games in one night: 22 innings!! The game lasted 6 hours and 16 minutes.

What do you do when they cut off beer sales in the seventh inning?... :puppydog:

Dodgers beat the Rox 8-7 in 13 innings :sweat: Saito blows his second save of the year, I think he only blew 2 all of last year. As much as I like Saito, I think his 38 year old arm is starting to catch up to him. :puppydog:

It's a week later and Dodgers beat Rox 12-7 :victory: That's 8 in a row. :woot: I wanted to mention something that happened at work. There's this one real obnoxious girl here, naturally, she's a Yankee fan. We were giving her a hard time about the start the Yankees have gotten off to and she said something about how they've usually gotten off to a slow start and then get better the 2nd half. We pointed out that was with Joe Torre and she said, "Torre never really did that much with the Yankees" [/list:u]We're all looking at each other like "WTF? He only won 4 World Series and made the post season every year!!" Typical Yankee fan eh? [/list:u]

My brother and I had a somewhat similar discussion today during the Angels-Orioles game: the newscaster said that Mike Scioscia was the best coach in the Majors, but I pointed out that Torre has more World Series titles and my brother commented that the Angels have owned the Yanks in head-to-head battles since Scioscia came on board...

Owning the Yanks doesn't equate to World Series titles, I told him. :beatyou:

Feds unveil new indictment against Barry Bonds


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds was charged in a new indictment Tuesday with 15 felony counts alleging he lied to a grand jury when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs and that he hampered the federal government's doping investigation.

The career home run leader originally was indicted in November by a federal grand jury on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice.

Following a motion by Bonds' lawyers to dismiss the case, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in February ordered prosecutors to rewrite the indictment because multiple alleged lies were lumped into single charges.

On Tuesday, a grand jury handed up a superseding indictment charging Bonds with 14 counts of making false declarations to a grand jury in 2003 and one count of obstruction of justice. No new lies were alleged.

"It's exactly the same," Golden Gate University law professor Peter Keane said. "It's two ways of saying it's lying, and there's really no substantial difference between what he was charged with then and what he is charged with now."

The case against Bonds remains built on whether he lied when he told the grand jury that his personal trainer, Greg Anderson, never supplied him with steroids and human growth hormone.

"Barry Bonds is innocent," the player's lead attorney, Allen Ruby, said. Ruby said Bonds will appear in court to plead not guilty to the new charges.

Bonds' next hearing already had been scheduled for June 6 before the new indictment was unsealed, but Ruby said it is unclear whether Bonds' will be expected to enter a plea then.

The Major League Baseball Players Association said last week it was investigating whether to file a collusion grievance against teams for not pursuing Bonds, who became a free agent when the Giants decided they didn't want him back after 15 seasons.

The 43-year-old outfielder, a seven-time NL MVP, says he wants to play this year. His agent claims no team has made an offer for the 14-time All-Star. Bonds hit 28 homers last year to raise his total to 762, seven more than Hank Aaron's previous record.
