The national TBS color announcer makes the following comment:<BR/><BR/><I>"That's the thing about Manny - he's a really underrated, great baserunner..."</I><BR/><BR/>Do you even have to watch baseball to broadcast games anymore? I cannot think of any situation in which a person could watch a Red Sox game in which Manny Ramirez participated, and come away with the impression that he is an underrated <I>great</I> baserunner.<BR/><BR/>I really hate national broadcasts sometimes. Usually it involves Tim McCarver or Joe Morgan, but this is just as bad.Big Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478232002387175988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-70393262750367293382007-10-03T18:42:00.000-04:002007-10-03T18:42:00.000-04:00what high school did you go to ?

I give her shit all the time for bartman. I would actually rather the cubs win over any team other than the halos this year but i know it will be unbearable if they win form what I heard about how this place was after the sox won.

Whether it was Cleveland, than the Yankees, and than the Red Sox, it just seemed like even when the NL won the WS (see last season), they weren't the "best" "team" of the season. <BR/><BR/>In terms of SB titles, the AFC has been a force, but with this year as a perfect example, once you get past NE and Indy, the NFL is wide open. Ultimatly, the depth of the AL trumps the AFC's lack; though both are the class of their respective leagues.Eagle in Brightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387603168328339403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-32800534634030265902007-10-03T15:50:00.000-04:002007-10-03T15:50:00.000-04:00I wonder who are the most obnoxious fans in all of...I wonder who are the most obnoxious fans in all of sports. I know that my fellow gators are about as bad as you can get when it comes to being obnoxious but the truth is with as dominant as our program has been the last few years we have earned the right to talk trash. Sure we piss everyone off but I really think it is no different than all the crap that the sox fans gave the yankees after coming back from 3-down. Personally I think the most obnoxious fans are from Miami because they all seem to think that they are the greatest program in any sport of all time and you have to be rich as hell to go there since it is a private school.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-77512357168395879182007-10-03T15:37:00.000-04:002007-10-03T15:37:00.000-04:00My cousins are Yankee fans from Jersey, but they a...My cousins are Yankee fans from Jersey, but they aren't your typical Jersey boys either. My cousin who played ball with DeJesus and Cust has the "take 'em or leave 'em" attitude, but his brother!? UGH, he is a pain in the ass. He started a poll on our football pool site as to how bad the Indians are going to lose. He's also a Michigan fan for some unknown reason.
