Soulstation1 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 (edited) dodgers v mets this morning on espn. tucson is the only city with 3 teams training. white sox, d-cakes and rockies roids, roids, roids baseball needs to clean it's act up, pronto. i'd think barry would be smart enough to not have any roids sent to his crib. especially with the way the media jumped all over big mac and the andro. maybe this is why bonds is always so moody? i'd think bonds would of respected the game more, he doesn't need an edge, the guy is a hall of famer. sammy shouldn't say a word about roids and how could you believe him anyways. mr. cork bat himself. the tribe is in DEEP DOO-DOO Edited March 3, 2004 by Soulstation1 Quote
catesta Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 You be right about Sammy. I'm looking forward to the season, the D-Backs may not have the same pitching staff, but the offense looks a whole lot better. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Posted March 3, 2004 cnn just reported the commish told the players no more talking about roids to the press. ss1 Quote
vajerzy Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 It's all about "who's juicin' baby!!" I know when I have my fantasy baseball draft in a few weeks- I'm staying away from the 'roidsters and going with "normal" players......Magglio Ordonez types, guys who are .290/30/100/10-20SBs.......good year for fantasy pitchers since HRs will be down....no one will break 50 HRs this year.....oh yeah, the bats are softer, yeah, that's the ticket!!! The only baseball I'll probably watch will be the games on ESPN classic when the players looked more like me.... Instead of a bunch of wrestlers from the WWF. Quote

Soulstation1 Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Posted March 3, 2004 did anyone hear the story about the new indians pitcher from japan, who was involved in a male porno movie a few years back? ss1 Quote
catesta Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 A buddy of mine was talking about that a few days ago, I didn't believe him, but I'll be damned if it wasn't true. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4080528/ Quote
vajerzy Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Yes- he pitched last year in the Indian's organization......he was good and probably will make the Tribe's roster......story I hear is when he was eligible for Japan's baseball draft, no one selected him (due to the fact the homosexuality is illegal in Japan), even though he was highly touted so he came over to the US where we has pitched well and no one has given it a concern. He said it was a mistake making the film.......as Jim Rome says, leaving your car lights on is a mistake, forgetting to lock the door is a mistake.....making a gay porn movie is not a mistake.........whatever- he seems contrite and his new teamates have accepted him so everything is fine.

The Red Menace Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 I am a Cincinnati fan, of course. And I am also a fan of any bat, glove and ball collective that can defeat those damn Yankees. Impudent capitalist swine!!! Quote
Brandon Burke Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 He said it was a mistake making the film.......as Jim Rome says, leaving your car lights on is a mistake, forgetting to lock the door is a mistake.....making a gay porn movie is not a mistake.........whatever- he seems contrite and his new teamates have accepted him so everything is fine. Yes, this story is true but I can't speak to Jim Rome's point as simply hearing his voice sends me clawing at the walls. Can't stand him. This is confirmed every time I decide to check his show out for sh*ts and grins (as I do with every political or societal viewpoint that I disagree with). This way, when I do decide to go off on a certain personality I know what I'm talking about. In fact, I'm calling bullsh*t on Jim Rome right now: * First of all, he's clearly a spoiled brat from day one. When I hear his voice in my head I hear him saying, "Fine dad, I just won't get a car at all then!" * Secondly, he repeats everything he says about five times in a row. He'd actually have time to get to the poor saps who wait 45 minutes to talk on the air if he'd stop going, "Brilliant.......I mean that's absolutely brilliant......your son is only eight years old and in little league......it's not the World Cup........it's not even the MLS......it's little league........your son is in little league......and this guy taking it as seriously as the World Cup.....it's not the World Cup.........it's little league....I mean that's just brilliant.........absolutely brilliant......I mean this guy is.....[ad nauseum]." Gimme break man. * Oh...and how about how poorly he treats his listeners. They get belittled to the point of being called "clones" and yet they come back for more as though Jim is someone worth setting aside hours of time to impress. It's sad realy. * And lastly, hasn't anyone noticed that his show is nothing more than a sports version of Celebrity Justice? He doesn't even talk about the games themselves (i.e. strategy, stats, etc). He talks about the morons who get in trouble. It's all very disheartening. Where's Joe Morgan when you need him? Alright.....I fell better now. Quote
vajerzy Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Brandon- I agree with you- I really don't like the guy also........I happened to tune in one time when he was talking about the Japanese pitcher so I heard that part. I haven't liked him ever since he called Jim Everett (QB- LA Rams) Chrissy even when Everett told him to stop.....seeing Rome's face when Everett went after him was priceless- he looked so scared- and he should have been- Quote
catesta Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Brandon that post was epic, rack em! I listen to the show daily, for no good reason. Normally I check in to see what guests he may be having if any, although I don't know why since his interviews suck. Dude does get on my nerves, the problem is he thinks he's funny. I also get tired of the way he talks shit until the person is in the studio or on the telephone, then he kisses ass. Have a take and don't suck! Quote
ghost of miles Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Tried to stir up some interest on the "Hot Stove" thread, but no takers, so I'll try here--what do Cubs fans think of Greg Maddux's return? Quote
Soulstation1 Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Posted March 4, 2004 maddux will help those young arms with his knowledge and experience. he's still good for 10-15 wins. ss1 Quote
catesta Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 How could you not like having Maddux? I only wish Arizona could have afforded him. Cubs pitching staff looks tough right now. Quote

catesta Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Dude, I just noticed your avatar. Snoop was on Howard Stern this morning with the bishop. Yea, I need to make it down to Tucson for a game, I'll start checking game schedules as well as my own. I know for sure I'm going to opening day at Bank One. Quote

catesta Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Oh, hell yes then. I plan on hitting a few more games this year, there is nothing like skipping out on work for an afternoon game. I may have a new ticket connection for this season, unless the guy is full of shit. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Posted March 4, 2004 (edited) fwiw games i've seen 2003 vs giants - 2 days after bobby bonds passed away. no ticket just drove to the game, also didn't know if bonds would even play. person at the box office was gonna sell me a ticket along the right field side, but i told him i'm here to see bonds, put me in the left field side. i had a perfect view of bonds that day, only if i had a camera then. schilling pitched 2002 vs cardinals - 2nd game in the play-offs schilling pitched and lost 2001 vs cubs - sat behind home plate big unit pitched 2000 vs mets - mets went to the series that year big unit pitched and struck out the first 3 batters he faced, but he was gone by the fifth ss1 Edited March 4, 2004 by Soulstation1 Quote

ghost of miles Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 Bad news for a number of Bosox fans... Church Nixes Good Friday Fenway Hot Dogs  37 minutes ago BOSTON - Opening Day ticket holders at Boston's Fenway Park this year who are Catholic face a dilemma: the Boston Archdiocese said since the afternoon game against the Toronto Blue Jays (news) falls on Good Friday, they must refrain from eating meat, including hot dogs, sausages and pepperoni pizza. "We're already getting all kinds of requests for dispensation to eat meat," said the Rev. Christopher J. Coyne, a spokesman for the archdiocese. However Coyne said that after a meeting to discuss the requests, Boston church leaders decided a baseball game was too weak an excuse to duck the no-meat rule. "I would hope it was just an oversight when they were doing the schedule," Coyne told the Boston Herald. "I think it's very insensitive to the huge number of people who are Christians and fans." In 1995 and 2000, Cardinal Bernard F. Law, then the head of the archdiocese, allowed local Catholics to eat meat when St. Patrick's Day fell on a Friday during Lent. Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 There goes the season .... Meanwhile, today's the big moving day, and originally, we intended to spend tomorrow afternoon in the very nice cozy Baltimore Oriole stadium and catch the Sox for a few bucks. With everything we have to do though, I decided against getting tickets, and now I find out who's making the bus trip all the way to Fort Lauderdale. Pedro. Quote
