They always do.

I did forget about Tony Gwynn's batting average. D'oh! Gwynn is one of the good guys in baseball.

It's not baseball altogether I don't get into, it's MLB. I still think going to a minor league game is a lot of fun. I'm in no hurry to become a fan of MLB any time soon.

Everyone did?

No matter how big you are, there's always someone bigger.

I hope they don't have their 2nd string in. I'll be at that game, and I certainly don't want to see a bunch of backups playing. I'm sure Psycho Ward 86 doesn't want that to happen also.

Hey!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Finally! A topic worth discussing! I've been wanting to bash Drew Barrymore's skull in for years, and now there's a forum for it!!

I agree. Aren't you guys drew, I mean, through with this yet?

Not true. I'm not a meanie. I'm THE meanie!!

Yep. Three things I remember about that (leading up to the strike): 1. Some pitcher (forgot who) being taken out of a game giving the finger (both hands) to the fans all the way to the dugout. 2. Some player (again, forgot who) saying something to the effect of, "I don't care about the fans..." in a postgame press conference when asked about fan reaction to whatever incident he was involved in that day. 3. The team I rooted for, the Montreal Expos, had the best record in the major leagues leading up to that strike, ruining any chance they ever had at getting to the World Series. The signs were there for me. I'm perfectly fine with pro and college football, college basketball, and even the occasional pro basketball game, though I'm losing interest in that too, especially with the level of immaturity in the players and with the recent trade my team, the Houston Rockets, made to acquire Tracy McGrady at the expense of Cuttino Mobley and one of my favorite players, Steve Francis.

I'm no longer a baseball fan, but I do know that Cal Ripken had a very good career, streak or no streak.

Maybe I'll check it out once it hits the premium channels.

They're all a bunch of big meanies!

Right you are, Mike. Doesn't it suck when you sit down to watch a game and all they do is go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about the damn quarterback?

Why not both? Mmmmmm............barbeque and mildew!

There's still time for both teams to flirt with that top pick.

Did anyone other than yourself mention any of those publications or what media they read/watch? Personally, I think everyone has a bias of some type or another. Just like how politicians are always talking about "special interest groups" and how others cave in to them. Well, who gets elected without any type of support from such groups? It's hypocrisy, and the media is not immune from it, as your examples and Fox News do a wonderful job of showing.

Oh yeah. Now I recognize it.

What's FoxNews?

I hear they're thinking of using Ben Roethlisberger for the next one.

Wasn't it Mastercard that did a similar commercial a while ago using Brett Favre?

I didn't this morning before I went to work.
