Baseball - December 2006

Pitching great Don Drysdale could throw the ball in such a way that it actually stopped in mid-flight, reversed direction, and returned to his glove. Since it would have been an illegal pitch, it was never used during a game but he doubtless demonstrated it in the ballpark many times ofver the years. What's the name for this sort of pitch?

Jeez, look at the 2007 rotation (Idk how they'll set it up):
1. Mike Mussina
2. Chien-Mien Wang
3. The Unit
4. Pettite
5. Kei Iguwa (or whatever it is)
Jeez, that looks good and you know the hitting will be there. This could be good news though for other teams like THE 2005 WORLD SERIES CHAMP CHICAGO WHITE SOX because whenever the Bronx Bombers have high hopes, they get shut down. American League team to beat???

I am a diehard Red Sox fan. I just watched Fever Pitch today (home sick). I think that being a Red sox fan is unlike being anyother kind of fan. Fenway is like home and we have a close bond. When they play Sweet Caroline and 35,000 people sing along and when they win or lose everyone in the stadium feels the same. When the Sox travel sometime there are more sox fans in the stadiums then the home fans. I love it.
What is going to happen to the team? We are getting these top picks and getting rid of solid players we already have. Trot has been a Red Sock for the longest than anyother player and we just got rid of him so we could get someone else?? Do you think the management is doing the right thing??

I was surprized to learn that there is at least one Australian baseball player. After all that country doesn't have a history or tradition of baseball.

Crap like: Who's your favorite player. What's your favorite team. What player do you hate? Who is going to win the world series in 2007? My god, where do these "people" come from? Thanks goodness there are a few of you who actually ask "REAL" questions and give "REAL" answers. Do you waste your time answering these dumb questions or just bypass them?

Maybe Bonds did cheat (although there's no proof, but there is evidence to support both sides). Maybe he is simply a stupid human being for sticking around. But would the Giants have agreed to re-sign him without KNOWING the truth about Bonds?

The Giants front office cannot possibly be completely full of dummies. They had to know that if Bonds is ever proven to be a cheater, and he breaks the home run record in their uniform, it will be a major PR blow to the franchise.

So, shouldn't the fact that the Giants agreed to sign him again tell us all that Bonds is legit, and his numbers are legit?

My opinion, if not Jeter then it should've went to Ortiz. I don't like the Red Sox but i like Big papi and Manny. Papi is a monster, this guy never slows down and Manny is awesome, plus he's from the Bronx like me. Matter of fact after his contract is up, I would not at all be surprised if he signed with the yanks as a DH. My honest MVP top 3 is Ortiz, Jeter, Morneau.

I heard that the Diamondbacks are thinking about signing him. Do you think that is a good move? I know they have no pitching but Mulder shouldn't be getting a Ted Lilly-type contract.

I like Mike Francesca but i cant stand Chris Russo. He an annoying little prick. So i tend to listen to Micheal Kay more because i get out of work when he's show starts and by then Mike and Doggie are on the topics i dont car much for. Your thoughts?

Jeter got screwed, who else think so ?. Its a simple yes or no answer and I don't need anti- Jeter fans bringing up all the stats in the league . Without Jeter the yanks would not have made the playoffs, thats the only stat I need.
