They don't to be careful when Johnson gives interviews from now on, it will be harder for him to put his foot in his mouth

You sure it wouldn't be easier? I just hope he doesn't go limp.

If he is able to make a full comeback, he'll have a leg up on his competition.

It would be nice, but he has to take it one STEP at a time.

Can you guys try to have some serious baseball discussion? Balls, I know you dont know anything about baseball outside of 161st and River, but could you leave the juvenile crap back on the other board, especially with the playoffs just ahead?
Anyway, just getting around to reading the baseball notes in todays paper. I see David Wells' gout has flared up again. I mean, Jesus Christ. What a disaster this guy is. That Wells grab is really working out for the Padres, who are clinging to the division lead with nothing but an 0-2 and 4.43 ERA in 4 starts down the stretch to show for it. And now he's out, and it could take "3-4 days" simply for his medicine to start to work so he can throw, the fat bastard.

Lets move on, fellas. The playoffs loom. That said, way for the Cardinals to be choking it up.

Does anyone really want any part of facing Oswalt, Clemens and Pettitte? Especially in a short series?

The Cards are definitely doing one hell of a choke indeed. Their magic number has decreased only 3 in the last 10 days or so. Gotta give Houston credit for keeping the pressure up, but this is more a matter of the weakness of divisional play than anything else. Two .500 teams battling it out for the right to eventually lose to the Mets.

Oh man I hope the Cards bonk and miss out. I'm tired of LaRussa and eveyone eating his ass about the manager he is. They are finally being exposed as a squad of fakers.

I know, and it's great. Too bad the Brewers couldn't be in the mix for this. That would have been awesome.

What a couple of great NL games last night. Astros/Pirates went 15, Phils/Nats went 14 and included a blown save by the Phils in the 10th

OK, Tom, now that you're sober, put it back:
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Law officers and museum officials are looking for a bronze bust of former Kansas City Royals third baseman George Brett that is missing from the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.
The bust stood outside the Springfield museum as part of a "legends walkway" with about 15 other busts of athletes and three full-size statues, museum operations director Marty Willadsen said Thursday.
"We noticed it missing [Wednesday] so we think it was probably taken Tuesday or Monday evening," Willadsen said.
The museum called the Greene County Sheriff's Department, which assigned a detective to investigate. Willadsen said the museum is not yet offering a reward for the return of the bust valued at $10,000 to $15,000.
While the bust is heavy, it wasn't too heavy for someone to carry away, he said.

George Brett is a fanoiche, who would want his head?

EVEN THOUGH home runs seem to be at an all-time high with suspected juicers like Barry Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, etc...even though guys like Howard, Ortiz, A-Rod are popping out 40+ per year....EVEN THOUGH.......I heard something on the local SoCAL sports talk radio station this morning that just put into perspective how significant of a mark 500 Home Runs still is.
Tim Salmon, after a 15 year career, and after spending moments here and there during his career as, arguably, one of the elite players in the game, just hit his 299th home run. I don't know about you guys, but that says something to me. Tim Salmon, while no Hall Of Famer, has had a better career with a reputation as a power hitter, than a huge majority of guys who've spent time in the majors, and he's a far cry from 500 Home Runs. I don't know...it just struck me as very telling regarding just how impressive 500 Home Runs are.

Tim Salmon was a solid player, but he was by no means elite. I never considered him a top level power hitter by any stretch. Just a solid, consistent player.

I'll take the question about the Brewers...
Not sure if this would be Grover's reasoning, but I love watching a small market team that spends no money, if they can get a bunch of kids to gel into a competitive team... it's a shame that they have some real talent on the DL...
It would be kinda like seeing a competitive product come out of Kansas City.
I'm happy that the Reds are still in the mix, if even by a thread. They are not quite the bottom feeders that Milwaukee is, but I like seeing them give St. Louis and Houston a run for their money...

I don't want the Brewers simply because of Selig.

The Cardinals aren't exactly a large market team....... bigger than Milwaukee.
I like the Brewers just for their name.... I agree with Balls, I hate Selig.

Yeah, I think I may have overstated Salmon's greatness after further review of the stats. So, nevermind! HA!

Selig has nothing to do with todays Brewers club. The Brewers are another example of a good young team with no superstars at this point but a nice young balance, with more help on the way. In other words, the kind of team Balls would contract. I will remember Tim Salmon when he was gone as a good player that was a threat during his prime. If he did not have all his injuries, he could have stepped up a notch and really been something to talk about. Yeah, the way it looks now, big whoop. But the guy was a talent. www.baseball-reference.com/s/salmoti01.shtml
