  1. Until they come up with a cap I just can't watch baseball anymore. These guys make too much damn money and the same teams are in it every year. How can anyone get excited about this "sport"?

     

    I grew up a Yankees fan (my father is hardcore), but even I can't stand how they buy their teams. The lack of salary cap and complete control that the players union has over the league has ruined baseball for me.

     

    Yep.

    2001 Arizona Diamondbacks

    2002 Anaheim Angels

    2003 Florida Marlins

    2004 Boston Red Sox

     

    Yep, same teams in it every year...

     

    People always complain about money. The fact is, and its being proven, that you cannot buy a championship in baseball. Complain all you want to about a salary cap, but it obviously isnt making a difference in the the results.

  2. Thats not happening but if it does, then that means Sheffield's contract should also be voided right?

    156000[/snapback]

     

     

    Well....technically...yes. But the reality here is that the yanks will use steroids as a reason to void giambi because they dont want him. Sheff is performing so they will look the other way., plus he will likely retire after the season.

  3. Womack stole 26 bases last year. He hasn't stolen 60 bases in a season since the 90's.

     

    No, womack isnt as fast as he was in Pittsburgh...but the one thing the yanks needed was a) someone to play 2nd and B) a leadoff hitter. They got both with womack. His .307 BA and .350 OBP will be greatly welcomed in New York.

     

    2005 Lineup

     

    2B Tony Womack

    SS Derek Jeter

    3B Alex Rodriguez

    LF Hideki Matsui

    CF Carlos Beltran

    RF Gary Sheffield

    C Jorge Posada

    1B Tino Martinez/Jason Giambi

    DH Bernie Williams

  4. Well...I wouldnt be suprised to see the jets knock off pittsburgh. St. Louis can take carolina.

     

    But the "upset" special of the week...KC will beat tennessee.

     

    Other than those 3 games I agree with you...but if i was in a pickem game, the only one I would take is kc over tennessee

  5. Wow, this is amazing...

     

    It looks like the colts want to win now and the next year or two....then take a breather for a while to eat this. This is insane. This is the perfect exampe of cap hell. 8 and 9 year contracts with huge signing bonuses. Works fine now...but in 4 years with declining skills, harrison occupying 14 mil (guesstimate) in cap space....ouch.

     

    But yes. I think Indy now becomes a prime location for TH.

  6. Don't know if all these guys are the #1's, but they lead their teams in receptions:

    Darrick Mason - 5'10"

    L. Coles - 5'11"

    Santana Moss - 5'10"

    Chris Chambers - 5'11"

    Cedrick Wilson - 5'10"

     

    Yes, thise are some good WRs who are less than 6'. Note, only one of these players (mason) is in the top 20 in recieving yards. Also note, these players are on teams with a combined record of 20-40.

     

    However, these recievers are the calibur I expect Lee to develop into...The solid role player, who helps a team alot, but is not a household name and will not draw signigant attention on the field. I just dont see him being able to be a #1. For that role you need a big physical WR such as TO, Moss, Walker, Moulds etc.

     

    Now enough about Lee. The kid had his best game ever today, and I hope he proves me wrong...Congrats to him. GO BILLS!

  7. The kid has everything you look for in a stud WR, great hands, great speed, great attitude. The only thing he needs to work is his route running, but that comes with time and is rarely achieved in a WR's rookie season anyway (unless you have the last name of Moss).

     

    You forgot size...definatly lacking in physical stature which is a big prolem with him becomeing a #1. I like Lee alot, but I think he needs a presence such as EM opposite him for him to be fully effective. I hope I am wrong though!
