Posts about football bore me so. Reading them and watching some of the Lions game today made me realize why women like football more than any other sport....it's the only sport where you don't have to think to follow it.

Cite the offensive behavior or simply don't mention it. That's my motto.

It most certainly was not "somewhat unavoidable." It was entirely avoidable. The proper steps were not taken.

MLB rumor sites have about as much worth as updates on the lives of Jon and Kate. Garbage.

I never read someone say that Van Slyke would be the next manager. Not even one post on it.

I see the Nature-boy had some great commentary again today. Good stuff. Thanks for your contribution.

Some call it "flair"....others call it "being a tool". I hope you do find your garbage-free forum someday. Maybe try a Mariners' forum.

Regardless.The Ordonez who vested is not the same type player that merits a $18.5 salary.Never should have happened. A "no cojones" easy way out by Dombrowski which shall become evident in '10.

Magg's vesting? In June it was stupid; in October it didn't look quite so bad. My judgment is reserved on that one. If Maggs is terrible in April and May, he gets released in 2010; but my belief is that he can make a comeback unless there's something physical nobody knows about. It's a heckuva lot of money for him that straps making moves for better players at other positions. A veritable Catch-22 wrongly decided by DD! Of course, selling more pizza pies is an option?

"Casper Wells extended his AFL 'on-base streak' by reaching base in his 35th consecutive game."

That's it. We definitely need a new forum for this garbage.

In my day, we heard about these punk prospects when they made the majors. We didn't have any fancy websites devoted to how many tools they had; no one was counting their pitches while overweight fans across the world spent money for information on them. No, back then they pitched 300 innings a season, got beaned, played on rocky fields and hardly anyone cared or watched. When their careers ended, they got real jobs and told stories about how they could have made the Show, but didn't. They took the bus for hours, ran out of money and ate dirt for months. That's how it was, and we liked it.
