It's official, I'm now the Official Kiss Of Death® to any team I pick to win.

What Chuck said. Yeah, Chuck got that one right, and his jinx worked too!

The Collectable King Crimson: Volumes 1 - 5

I've seen these numbers quoted, can't vouch for their accuracy though. 2013: $28M (age 37) 2014: $25M (38) 2015: $21M (39) 2016: $20M (40) 2017: $20M (41) That's proof that there is / is no God -- take your pick...

And the Yankees are still on the hook with ARod for what? five years at 25 million per year?????????

Short Version: He stinks.... Long Version: Rodriguez is 2 for 16 with nine strikeouts in the series

ARod on bench for game five. Now we will be subjected to a million shots of ARod on the bench, looking pensive, clapping when his replacement gets a hit, gazing off into space...

I'm so ready for some NBA that I'm watching the NY Knick vs. Washington Wizards preseason game. The NBA, it's a sickness.....

Really, a great comeback by the Giants, I didn't think they could pull it off. You know Dusty must be dying over this one. It will be interesting if Lincecum will start in the next series or not, I don't see how Zito can be allowed to start. If they play the Cardinals, the Giants will have home field advantage.

Very tense last couple of innings, but the Giants won. I thought that Romo would blow it for sure.

The Giants are lucky that Dusty Baker is managing so bad in this game, imagine, sending the runners like he did in the sixth? What was he thinking? Easy strike out, throw them out, double play. Thanks Dusty!

Baseball with check-ins to the football games. In no way, shape, or form, will I ever watch politics.

At least he didn't pull a Vick and fumble on the goal line, Vick is a hopeless player.

I'm already dead in the water this week.

I loved the line by Fredi Gonzalez at his press conference, when told that "Joe would review the protest" "I don't know if they mean Joe Torre or Joe Garagiola!"

Exhibit A on why these should not be one-and-done playoffs.

At least they didn't forfeit the game, now that would have been interesting. If it was a regular season game, it would have been called. Too bad Mr. BS himself wasn't there so he could make it worse. I'm going love to hear the ruling on the protest.

Yeah, it was a pure bs call. The thing is, it's always called IMMEDIATELY, not wait and see where's it going. I've never seen it called that late. Some useless umpiring going on there.

Don't worry, the Yankees won't win-- gee, I haven't had a good anti-Yankees rant in ages, they're just so boring now.... Welcome back to the thread

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Is it just me, or does it seem as if Hamilton is going down the road toward a major relapse? I pray he doesn't but he just seems out of it in a very bad way. People laughed at the caffeine thing, but to me, that was a major red flag in terms of his recovery.

Dang, been done, that's how the old Negro Leagues operated most of the time.

I was involved in a church that had a number of Cuban exiles, and I was floored by the incredible love they had for More, they could not speak of seeing him in Cuba, dancing to his big band in the 1950s, without tears in their eyes. I don't think the USA realizes what a huge figure Beny More is in the Latin world.
