I can't stop laughing at him when he goes up to bat. But if long hair works, then hec yea!

<--- Still growing it out :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Damon must have gotten his Jesus looks from his caucasian side, because i didn't know Thai people can have that much facial hair. :mrgreen: (he's half thai)

Half Thai??? Yow, that's news. Didn't know that :D

I though he lost a bet and had to cut his hair a while back... His hair must grow like weeds...

If he was taller, we could call him Chewbacca... :hehe:

Boo Sox, Boo Yankees. I'm o.k. with Houstons win though! :beaten:

I would be too if it wasn't for Roger Clemens.

True I do hate him. I used to love it when Dave Stewart (former Oakland A's pitcher) would face him and out duel him.

Elt and I talked about this earlier (two pages ago?), but do you hate his guts for the same reason?

I missed that exchange. Yes, that is part of why I don't like him. I think never really cared for his personality or comments that he has made over the years.

Hell Yeah! :woot:

I went to a few of those games in the late 1980's to early 1990's, the A'a and Dave Stewart were the Rocket's nemesis. :woot: :woot: :woot:

Like I said, he's been pretty much a prick for his entire career.

I'll take Koufax over him any day of the year... He was the best there ever was. :D

I've got a world of respect for Clemens' accomplishments... but I still think the Commissioner's Office has been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to lax with penalties against players that do violent actions.

Any pitcher that purposefully goes after someone's head deservers a longer suspension AND criminal charges for assault. If a manager orders a pitcher to hit a player, then the manager should also be liable. There's NOTHING brave or honorable about hitting someone that can't hit back.

And no, hitting someone in the head is NOT part of the game.:shakehead:

Hence, Clemens' actions, as well as folks like Pedro Martinez, are nothing but cowardice in my book. :angry:

The NHL has finally come to terms with the violence getting out of hand in the league. It's about time that MLB do the same... I mean, look at what happened in Oakland!!! :mad:

I agree. I think the Commish is afraid of the player's union that's why he's only been slapping these primadonnas on the wrist...

Yes.

Well Greg, any postgame commentary on the Yanks pulling another one out of the hat??

Man, I was lickin' my chops in anticipation of the Yanks going down 2-0 and heading back to Minnesota... Oh well.

Honestly...I haven't watched either game. My being sick and all hasn't helped at all...

But...we're 1-1, we just need to take 1 game in Minnesota!! In the past few years of playoffs, it seems like the Yanks pull off come from behinds quite a lot. Though maybe I shouldn't limit it to the last few years since the first WS we won under Torre ('96 or '97?) we came back in the series against the Braves when everyone said it was over!!!

Yow, you must be really sick.... I'm still fightin it: the warm salt water gargles seems to be helping...

I really thought the Twins had 'em, but when A-Rod doubled, I knew it was over... Incredible.

Yeah, with my throat throbbing, I'm sorta wiped when I get home too... Time for a three-day weekend, I think. :)
