San Francisco is more than ' a few miles' north but yeah, you would think that.

i am old but they say it a lot out here. i think they even had a 'dress like huggy' game.

Huggy Bear is pretty good and so is their kicking game.

"Alou out for four to six weeks" most used sentence in baseball.

is he a reader of sportswrath, ya think?

and Cal alumni. guy played like a fan, that's why i liked him.

sorry, it doesnt fit- besides Linebacker U is in Happy Valley.

seems like a good, intelligent player from USC, (University of Safeties and Cornerbacks)- I'm satisfied.

This is getting good: Bostonherald.com - Shortly after the Yankees’ new Boss, Hank Steinbrenner, complained about “what a bunch of (expletive)” Red Sox [ team stats] Nation is, Red Sox principal owner John Henry has responded. Sensing jealousy, Henry is killing Steinbrenner with kindness. He’s adopting him as one of his own - an offer Steinbrenner has already rejected“I’m a big Hank fan,” wrote Henry in an e-mail to the Herald. “Just to ensure he knows how cool Red Sox Nation is, (Saturday) we officially inducted him as a member of Red Sox Nation and we are sending him his membership card giving him access to an array of options including our newsletter, bumper stickers, pins, Green Monster seats and a hat personally autographed by David Ortiz [ stats].” When told about the offer, Steinbrenner said no thanks. “I am not joining Red Sox Nation, honorary or not,” Steinbrenner told the New York Post yesterday at Yankees headquarters at Legends Field. “I’ll respond to that later. Trust me, I am not joining Red Sox Nation.”

psst...Lorenzen would look mighty big in aqua green.

is mitchell from canada?

agreed

then shaddap!

let's make sportswrath a "no steroid talk" zone.

mitchell's deal doesn't sound all that wacky- i guess the giants didn't want him that much.

good one- see there's the exception that makes it so.

i think you have to have lost a lot to have a nation. raider nation- red sox nation

i don't understand your point.

not really- with appletv- you still need to download to your computer first- the set top box is merely a very feature rich adapter from comp to tv. as for media streaming direct to your tv- i still think you need a set top box to convert it but you're right sometime in the future it will all be that way. the other issue is broadband speed is not fast enough yet to stream a program or movie in real time (without downloading first).

one of the reasons i moved to SF was to be able to go to some Giants games. The 3 games a year at Shea wasn't cutting it for me. When I first got here, I would to go to about 30-40 Giants games a year but now it's down to 20 or so.

You are assuming Strahan is retiring? For him personally, I think this is a good time for him to retire. He's acheived his goals and he would get a tv contract tomorrow. But, I would certainly hate to lose him. We can replace his pass rushing but not his run stopping and intelligence.

i've seen more red sox hats lately than i've ever seen. but, the same could be said of yankee hats in the '90's.

if you put the 49ers and raiders together you'd have a lousy team with a great kicking game.

NJ.com - The Red Sox open this season against the Oakland A's in Japan. Appearing on Boston radio station WEEI last Friday, Epstein said, "Kevin Brown and Mike Mussina spent the whole time bitching about it ... and by the time the Yankees team got back from the trip they were all using it as a crutch." Told of the comments, Mussina said sarcastically, "Yeah, we used it as an excuse for winning the division." PS - George Bush was pretty funny with the Sox yesterday at the White House. "I'm sorry Manny Ramirez, isn't here. I guess his grandmother died again,"

theo has been making some caustic remarks as well. didn't he just call mussina a headache or something like that?
