Just to think that Steinbreinner bought the team back in 73 I believe for just $100 million. Talk about sound investment.

Actually, he only paid $9 million for the team.

Yeah the video looked a lot worse than the impressions I got from the initial report of the incident. He really chucked it at the umpire.

What a tool.

Thankfully I picked Young with my last pick in the Digital Sportspage Fantasy League. Didn't have time to do psychological profiles like I had originally intended.

Mets vs Braves yet again starting tonight.

Mets have the chance again to add to the 5 game lead they have.

Braves got all their people back so the Mets could have a tough time AGAIN in Atlanta.

You do know that no one cares, but you and I? And maybe Zeppo.

With Martinez versus Smoltz, you would think that most baseball fans would care. That's a pretty damn good matchup.

Hell, my wife made me get tickets just so she could see Pedro pitch.

So, what teams should I talk about then?

Nobody cares about the Suns but you talk about them in the NBa thread.

Nobody bitches to you right? Then get of my f***in back.

When does it stop with this guy?

Geez, get a f***in life and let people be.

I love the way the bat comes flying in from stage right in the video. The pitch looked outside but his overreaction was just crazy.

Umps stick together and have long collective memory. I don't think Delmon will get many borderline calls when he comes up to the majors.

Oh I've got a life sparky. It's just funny...hardly anyone responds to anything you say about the Mets. I just thought you'd get sick of talking to yourself.

So, having a life includes caring about things like this?

Really, get a life.

Yes it does...it keeps me occupied during the day. Having a life and just finding something to do during down times are two different things. If you had a job doing more than flipping burgers, you'd know.

If you have down time at work, you should put down the headset, get out of your cubicle and smell some fresh air. I'm pretty sure they give you a coffe break or somthing like it.

But I guess people with no social skills(or life) have to settle to policing forums threads.

Damn, I envy you...

LMAO. That's hilarious. Seriously, I can't see the Pirates playing that bad all year. They finally have some real threats in the lineup. I'm just glad the Cards played them when they did.

I'm more than willing to stay on topic. Like I always do.

The guy just has some latino hard on for me.

Anyways, Leeb, who's the guy on the pic?

Either Batman or Mr. Mom, I can't tell.

Lol.

Ok I got it.

When's Keaton's next start Leeb?

sportdan30 · Post by **sportdan30** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 5:08 pm

If I were you Leebo, I'd applaud Keaton. He stood up for Pirate fans and blasted the ownership, pleading for them to spend more money.

Im all giddy about Bonds and his chase of Ruths 714.

Oh, I don't mind Keaton at all and I think everything he said was true. It's just sad though. I don't even want a salary cap in baseball. I'd be happier with a salary floor. The sad thing is that when the Pirates spend money they just blow it. What makes it worse is that it's a catch-22. The only way the Pirates owners would sell is if nobody showed up and they lost money and if nobody shows up then it looks like Pirates fans don't care and the team would probably move. Cuban shoud put his money where his mouth is an make a reasonable offer to buy the team.
