I'm sure that if the autopsy comes out, it'll likely be a cocaine-related death.

Caminiti had a long history of drug abuse. :shakehead:


I was more saddened about the passing of Christopher Reeve.

Game 3, needless to say, is a must win for the Bosox. Actually, so is game four.... :sweat:

Yea they need 2 in a row. Hard to come back against the Yankees down 3-1 or 3-0. Boston plays a whole lot better at home so I like their chances. I can't imagine this series NOT going to 7 games so they have to come back.

My prediction: Yanks in 6 games or less...

Less. :(


Right now, it's looking like Cards - Yanks. :shakehead:

Yeah I don't want to sound too confident...but the next two pitchers for Boston aren't exactly workhorses based on their record of 22-19. And without Schilling...things are looking kind of bleak for them (good for me though!!).

I agree it does not look to good for the Sox.

Yup. But the Bosox haven't had their moment which truly defines The Curse for this season, like Bill Buckner's gaffe in '86...

How 'bout putting both the Yankees and the Red Sox in the same league; that way, they can duke it out every year and increase the chances of the Red Sox getting into the World Series championship?

I wish the Braves would have made it to the play offs! :shakehead:

Schilling's injury perhaps?

You mean in different leagues?

Getting into the World Series is one thing, winning the World Series is another....

Oh, in the same league, I mean. Maybe, and I'm just guestimating, you might be able to see their league race every other year.

Sorry . . . me not often talk about sports :nut: . Me like watch instead.

Possibly. But something more dramatic. And totally weird.

They're both in the AL Eastern Division. Perhaps Boston would have much better luck if they were in different divisions so they wouldn't have to face NY as often, or at least have to compete with NY for the AL East title every year for a spot in the playoffs.

Though lately it hasn't seemed to matter since they both seem to make the playoffs every year...

Whooops!!!! I guess if there's one thing I ain't like my daddy on, it's baseball.

[The Man calls up local bookstore asks, "I need . . . well, uh, do you have any book called "Baseball Rules for Damn Fools" or something 'long those lines?"] :beaten:

Haha....that's funny. Nah...it's not that big of a deal. If you were to ask me about same divisions for the NBA (other than the Laker's division) or the NHL...I wouldn't know either (or care - in the case of the NHL).

Well the NHL is on strike for probably the entire season, so you needn't worry...

Speaking of the NHL, where's Duneman? Haven't seen him on the board for a good long time... :headscratch:

Yeah...the pro sports leagues (owners and players) don't seem to get it...

They're killing themselves...
