    Hey Lonesome...A GM Doesn't Just Acquire Players Blindly...Do You Get It?

    There's some undercurrent of ill feeling against the GM's here. People keep pointing at Hendry, Epstein, Cashman...others. Well the GM draws up the contracts and the owner has approval over that. But the manager tells the GM the players he wants, or the type of players he wants, so the GM goes...

    Was it a good call for Joe Guirardi to bring in Philip Hughes in the 10th...

    Very bad baseball decision. Rivera should have pitched the 10th, have thrown only 9 pitches in the 9th. Girardi gave up on the game too soon. If Rivera pitches the 10th..the Yankees get one more shot to win the game. Hughes pitches after that.

    What the bloody hell is turf toe? more questions inside?

    Specifically in the NFL,probably in the late 70's..when artificial turf was widely used. The problem with atrificial turf, (Astroturf, it was called), was that is was not spongy and it was laid on a hard undersurface. It used to cause a severe toe sprain, from repeatedly pushing off out of the 3...

    Half way point in MLB , and the Pittsburgh Pirates are in contention! How long

    No fade, the other teams aren't playing very well just now. Just keep racking up wins against Cubs and Astros...then play .500 against the others. They could finish over .500, which would be amazing.

    Will Geelong Extract Revenge?

    I strongly believe they will flog the Bombers here, no doubt they will win by 10 goals, and in my opinion they will turn turn the screws and make it 15. Contrast this with the free pass they gave to Ablett, when they minimised flogging the Suns. I see this as a tailor made situation to extract...

    The Caveat on the Hawks/Bombers Game?

    Game still in progress...Hawks up by 12 goals or more. I called the loss and I expected a blowout. Without mentioning our own form, I have been saying all year, the Hawks are a very good side. So the Hawks are almost at the level of Geelong and a level below the Pies. Agree? They could...

    If the Tampa Bay Rays win the World Series this year is their GM the best in...

    Part 1...it is questionable that the Rays will win the WS...they might not even make the post season, Part 2...he signed Manny Ramirez, and on the players he let go, as I see it, he had no choice. They have a great manager, Joe Maddon, who is one of the best in the game...and the GM must be ok...

    Controversial rules/laws that have made the headlines in recent times...am I...

    I am reading it...wait. Hands in back....yep, seems pretty innocuos, but players use a light nudge to push an off balance player out of position, Dustin Fletcher 2 wks ago (Im a Dons supporter) took a good defensive mark, but replay showed he had both hands lightly on the other players...

    Packer Fans...Dom Capers, can we hold onto him?

    Yahoo answers is made more tolerable by our many loyal Packer and Brewer fans..I risk the delation,that's a rant. Guys, Dom Capers must be just about the hottest commodity in NFL coaching...although Dom had mixed success in 2 head coaching stints, he is clearly a defensive genius. Can we hold...

    Good electronics store in the Philippines? (Makati)?

    Go to Raon, next to Quiapo and walk around.....you can get all that there. Turn right before the church and walk in a few streets...turn right again. That's the area. EDIT..You would save a lot....use the LRT 2 from Cubao...

    What was the worst loss in MLB history and longest game?

    Going against my policy of not looking stuff up...I knew about this game, but I had to verify date and exact number of innings. 15 April 1968...Astros/Mets....1-0, in 24 very boring innings.
