But at least the 2007 version of Ortiz isn't hitting that many, so why not bunt more often? Let's say that he could have a success rate of 65% (35% making outs, since he's actually a pretty good bunter), wouldn't that offset the risks of him not hitting a home run? I should add that I'm suggesting this in situations where there is no one on base.<BR/><BR/>Also, for skiing. I don't remember that spectators are allowed near the course, but that they are at the bottom of the hill at the finishing area. Not sure how good the view is from there.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-9043768283221019662007-07-03T12:53:00.000-04:002007-07-03T12:53:00.000-04:00Speaking of sports "to do lists" lists...Which doe...Speaking of sports "to do lists" lists...<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://ifrevonlyhadabrain.blogspot.com/2007/07/which-one-does-not-belong.html" REL="nofollow">Which doesn't belong</A>.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for again for shameful promotion...but we need to get the name out there!RevScottDeMangeMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220843774217781967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-30433041622962973052007-07-03T12:27:00.000-04:002007-07-03T12:27:00.000-04:00For those looking for things to do: I'ld add seei...For those looking for things to do: I'ld add seeing a KU basketball game in Allen Field House against a quality opponent.
