suck on that offense, you national leauge bitches.

Soriano is really good at biesbol.

Ramirez/Ortiz HR combo first from team mates in all-star history.

i'm sure the yankees will send a nice thank-you card

**jdabasin** · 07-14-2004, 07:45 AM

you mean like they did last year when the Yank-mes had home field advantage also?

they should address it to clemens.

so who wants to put odds up for where RJ is going?

cubs fans out there: how do you like nomar?

yes.

**Dexter Rutecki** · 07-14-2004, 10:14 AM

Yes, I too was amused at all those Yankees helping the Sox secure home field in October.
Thanks!

"when's october?" - manny

**basom** · 07-14-2004, 11:01 AM

i want odds on the unit trade.

rumor is boston is putting together a better package than the yanks?

whats the mill saying in NYC?

if we get RJ, no one could touch us in a short series.

i'd let tuffy touch us, only for sexual release though.

sounds like sour grapes from a fan of the team who botched getting both schilling and the unit so far.

i have no idea how to read those lines.

+ is less of a chance?

**stump832** · 07-14-2004, 11:23 AM

More of a chance, bas. Basically divide the numbers by 100. If its positive, then its the numerator, if its negative, its the denominator.

yankees +200 = 2:1

i think the way it goes in the vernacular is "bet 100 to win 200"

if its negative, bet X to win 100.

desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

i'm not a big fan of either of those guys. it would be super weird to see rj in a sox uni though.

ice - you'll want to dab yourself with a cool rag and take at least 2 ibuprofen. it should pass momentarily. you guys just experienced my own unique form of training, which supervisors have labelled as "lacking" and "an area to focus on". i like to call it confusumacation.

**basom** · 07-14-2004, 01:41 PM

so yankees have 2:1 and the sox have 6:1.
hmmm.

weather or not you are a fan of them tuffy, they would be welcome additions to any staff n baseball, and are better pitchers than anyone on your staff.

**shamrockpow** · 07-14-2004, 02:35 PM

Stump: did you make up those lines or is some casino (Vegas or OS) actually giving odds. And I always wondered what would stop John Henry from telling a buddy of his: "Psst, lay $50K on Nomar to the Cubs" the day before it goes down. Likewise for the Britney/JLo will get engaged in the next x months...

Nomar + Shoppach for The Unit! (via the Cubs)

**stump832** · 07-14-2004, 02:50 PM

This reminds me. Last night I was watching the game and I realized what my dream ending to this season would be. I'm so sick of the Cubs/BoSox pity shit. So here it is.

I would absolutely love to see the [insert favorite NL team *] spank the Cubs in the NLCS and then go on to shame the BoSox in the Series. Nothing like having your favorite team destroy the sad, pitiful hopes of two doomed franchises.

* Dodgers in my case. Naming them above might jinx them though. So I'm keeping my mouth shut...sorta.

i was hoping the stars would align and let the yankees play the sox and cubs in succession.

**acostiga** · 07-14-2004, 06:30 PM

so who thinks that piazza was tipping off the AL sluggers as to which pitches were going to be thrown as revenge against clemens? (heard that on talk radio today)

what a great conspiracy theory! weren't george and barbara bush sitting in the first row behind home plate? there has GOT to be a trail to oil money, somehow.... right?
