    nice picture

    but what’s with the AWFUL shade of blue for his son’s catching equipment?

  2. YankeesBen

    Pete here we go with some actuall baseball pictures. CUTE!

  3. Whitey Fraud

    Spring Training for sucking up, too?

  4. Brandon (Proud supporter of "Alex being Alex")

    anyone saw Josh Beckett’s belly in 08’ :lol:

  5. Drive 4-5

    It looks like dad got the worst of it lol

  6. Jim PA

    Cute kid. Hey, Pete. How warm is it today? Go ahead, rub it in.

  7. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08

    Well, you know what they say. You gotta get to them young.

  8. JBRO

    it was probably around 80 today…

  9. Buddy Biancalana

    Drive-

    Thanks for the Pujols update, I’ll be staying away from him.

  10. Boston Dave

    whats up with Pujols?

  11. Buddy Biancalana

    Boston Dave-

    Check the last thread, I was just grilling SJ44 on some Fantasy BB advice.

  12. Brandon (Proud supporter of "Alex being Alex")

    SJ44 saids Pujols may be seriously hurt..from what I have yet to hear but I too heard the same whispers about it.

    Beckett was taught well by Donut Boy Schilling ….

    Watching Pardon the Interruption and apparently Tim Kurkjian said earlier today that there is no chance Pettitte has a good season because he is too sensitive. Wilbon gave him a 5% chance of having a good year. Gotta love the “experts”.

  16. Buddy Biancalana

    Yeah, those experts are out to lunch

  17. li

    I think it is a bit too early on to bring the kids to work.

  18. Joe from Long Island

    They gotta say something, so they say whatever, based on their limited information and no research, sounds good. Of course, they almost never admit their mistakes later on.

  19. Ben

    Looks “out” to me, plus the catcher held onto the ball. Someone should tell the runner there’s no crying in baseball, especially if he’s the manager of a big league team.

  20. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08

    PTI is entertaining, I’ll give them that much, but there’s a difference between entertainment and guys I trust.

  21. Fernando Alejandro (Respect Jeter's Gangster)

    Thank goodness spring training is here.

  22. Boston Dave

    Rebecca,

    Agreed. I was more shocked by Tim Kurkjian who I generally give some credence to.

  23. mel

    Rebecca,

    They’re experts if we like what they say. Entertaining if they something bad about our teams. :)

  24. Trish

    He’s out. Yogi says so.

  25. Boston Dave

    mel,

    very true.

    one of these days i am going to start a website that ‘keeps score’ of the experts’ predictions.

    I think I’ll start with Steve Phillips.

  26. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08

    Boston Dave: You should TOTALLY do that.

  27. mel

    Boston Dave,

    OK. You killed the thread.

    That’s a great idea. Post the outrageous stuff and preseason predictions all the online and print guys write. Then as they’re proved correct or wrong (more likely) you do an update. Like “WTF was he thinking when he said that?”, “Did he pick that one out of the rubbish like a half-eaten eclair?”

    Kind of go a running scorecard through the season.

    See who screws up more. NY media or Bawston media.

  28. mel

    And Rebecca revives it! Good job.

  29. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08

    You know what’s interesting? Steve Phillips actually did predict that the Colorado Rockies would win the NL Wild Card.

    Of course, this was before the Mets COLLAPSE OF DOOOOOOM, but still kind of ironic, and no, I’m not looking for a discussion on irony.

    I’m in (live) in Orlando and it was absolutely beautiful out today, mid 70’s during the day and I’m sure it wasn’t much different in Tampa, an hour and a half drive away. BTW- when Girardi was coaching the Marlins, my friend met him, talked with him for awhile, said he was an extremely nice, thoughtful guy. I was so happy he got the job

  33. KarenJ

    mel, as far as Boston media are concerned, someone’s already keeping track of when they screw up—and when they do good.

    Yeah I met Joe 3 or 4 years ago. He was very nice to me. It was actually pretty interesting. Some guy came up to him and asked him about a salary cap. Joe was very strongly against it. He was going back and forth with the guy for some time. I wanted to stick around and listen, but I had to walk back to work.
