I think so. Fat bastard should lose 50 lbs and keep it off, that would go a long way toward alleviating the back problem. If going out after 1 inning of a WS game doesn't convince you of that, nothing will.

Penny came up huge with that hit. After the ground rule double gift to the Yankees, it looked like they were going to escape with the game 1-1.

and why did the yanks replace ventura(?) with boone? :confused:

also, wasn't the pre-ventura 3rd baseman a WS mvp a few years ago too?

IF the Yankees lose tonite and go on to lose the WS, do you think there is ANY chance that Steinbrenner is going to want to resign David Wells??

i mean, his going out tonite with back spasms HAS to be considered about 60% a conditioning issue.

He'll sign David Wells for $6 million/year and keep him in the bullpen just in case. ;)

quick Q.

why does jeter put this fist to the umpire when he comes to bat?..

is he saying that ' I'm not ready'.. so don't let the pitcher throw before I'm ready? kinda thing?...

if so.. i think that's really arrogant jesture... he's putting himself higher than the umpire..

You know the best thing about this World Series? A team with 1/3 the payroll of the other is going to win. I love this game.

IF the marlins win, they will have one of the best WS wins vs Years of existence ratios in MLB. :)

its not a disrespect thing. he puts it out so he can balance himself in the batters box, and also, it removes temptation to put his hand around the bat and possibly make his hands more sweaty so he wont get as good of a grip. as soon as he's ready, he brings that hand down and grips the bat tightly, and its right before the pitch arrives, so he has that few seconds of an extra tight grip. at least, thats my guess. i used to play baseball, and i did something similar and that was my logic.
