By that twisted logic, does that mean the Bledsoe trade prevented us from getting Andre Johnson, because if we hadn't traded Bledsoe and started him in 2002 we would have finished 2-14 and had a high enough pick to take him? Or should we blame Mo Lewis for that?

Mo Lewis should never have to buy a meal in this town.

The extra pick allowed them to make a lot of moves over several years that otherwise would have cost them a lot more on those draft days. WTF does Andre Johnson have to do with anything?

It was a joke, though he was the #3 pick in that draft, now a Pro Bowler.

I saw the Canseco-60 minutes spot. Nothing majorly new then the stuff that leaked out. He specifically said he did/injected steroids with McGwire, Giambi, Irod, Palmeiro and Juan Gonzalez. They showed one of the chapter titles and it was something like "Giambi: the biggest juicer of them all" :lol:

I think it's weird that it's all superstars mentioned. You'd think some scrub would approach him, they'd have the most to gain. I think it would actually help his credibility if he dropped the names of some lower level guys. Maybe he does in the book. I guess the other controversial thing is that he basically says if you know what you're doing, Steroids is a good thing, he doesn't say he's sorry or come out against it at all.

I guess dropping names like Randy Velarde just doesn't sell books

Note that may only interest Box Score.

Poking around comic book boards, I found out that the Sci Fi Channel was supposed to be adapting the 1980's classic Strikeforce Morituri into a miniseries called 1,000 Days, but that it has been shelved recently after languishing for a couple of years. :angry:

It is a joke effort by Mazz, who I normally like.

You'd think he'd peruse SOSH if he needed some info

Tony Maz isn't the Ron Borges of baseball writers, in fact he's normally pretty good.

It was a terrible job, but I'm going to guess that his editors told him he needed to get one more piece out before he left for Florida so he threw that one together.

We've seen others do the same thing with let's just call it less "originality".

During a remote interview with Marino in the studio and Brady on a golf course somewhere shortly after the SB last year, Brady said something classy like how much he respects all that DM accomplished in his career and how he hopes to have such a stellar record when all is said and done. Marino replied, "I'd trade it all for one ring, Tommy."

The guy seems to have something resembling a clue even though many of his a** kissing mediots don't.

From what I've read, he names a lot of "scrubs" in the book, including Bret Boone, Tejada, Randy Velarde, and so on.

I've been flipping back and forth between the Pro Bowl and the Grammys and I gotta say, this year's Grammys have been outstanding. The performances are off the charts.

ESPN is making a big deal of Jim Rome returning full time. This only reminds me of how bad ESPN has become. Some guy on their radio network actually thought Iverson was a great and misunderstood pro and insinuated Shaq was some kind of fraud when compared to Iverson. If it weren't for the NFL and PTI, I wouldn't even watch ESPN. At one time, I thought it was the greatest thing to come along.

My heart was residing somewhere near my tonsils, fluttering wildly. Everything the Red Sox did was both beautiful and terrifying; I gasped "Thank God" at every catch they made, every throw they finished up, every Yankee that they got out, every bloody positive thing that happened, no matter how routine.

Because nothing tonight was routine. The magnitude of every action in that park (where I saw my first Red Sox game, an 11-2 drubbing on July 5th 2003, with the man I plan to spend my life with) is amplified a thousandfold.

LL, good point. Dan certainly didn't handle that situation well. During damage control efforts the next day, Boomer said he thought DM was a bit taken by surprise by the comment, and misinterpreted his intent.....but DM's angry, defensive response was revealing. I'd forgotton about that incident.
