When SF played the Tigers during the last inter-league series, I was totally amazed at the offensive stats! I so wanted to see Verlander pitch, but he wasn't in that rotation- they have great defense, too!

I need to research the Clemmens case- know very little about what is going really.

Yup, Posey has a long haul ahead. Who knows what will be for him. I hope we see him back out there- but maybe not as a catcher? Don't know.

Hope SF wins again tonight! And damn, when are those Red Sox going to get going? Thery are my fav AL team.

I would be happy to see any of these wonderful teams live. I had no idea until the game that Verlander leads for taking runners out at first...<scratching head> cannot for the life of me remember what it is called. We used to call it picking when I played, but heck that was bush league praire ball.

This is great!

Those are great. The Mendoza line made me giggle. And we have all seen some fantastic and astounding Circus Catches... even some that make me think...now how in the dickens did he not break his wrist. I found Golden Sombrero to be particularly amusing.

Thanks AHL that was a fun read

They are having a bit of a problem finding a jury pool of 36 for the Clemens trial. After 2 days, only 18 have been selected as potential jurors.

The rest have been dismissed for having the guts to say either that Congress should have better things to do besides investigating steroids in baseball or everyone lies to Congress...even Congress lies to Congress.

I am still waiting for the person who says, we have a record deficit and a looming credit crisis and we are wasting money on this?

I agree! WTH?

Why isn't this considered double jeopardy? Please don't provide an answer. I don't want to know.

Is Clemens going to be the new face for steroids?

I still want to know if they have tested Bautista?

After doing virtually nothing to Barry-roid- Bonds and allowing Mark Mcguire to Coach in major league baseball, this is real old.

I will go on record to say, I feel strongly about accusations of doping in any sport. I'm pretty ticked about Lance Armstrong and have let that take away some of my enjoyment of TDF.
