  3. Whitey Fraud February 15th, 2008 at 5:30 pm

  5. Drive 4-5 February 15th, 2008 at 5:33 pm

    It looks like dad got the worst of it lol

  6. Jim PA February 15th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

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

  7. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08 February 15th, 2008 at 5:36 pm

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

  8. JBRO February 15th, 2008 at 5:38 pm

    it was probably around 80 today…

  9. Buddy Biancalana February 15th, 2008 at 5:39 pm

    Drive-

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

  10. Boston Dave February 15th, 2008 at 5:45 pm

    whats up with Pujols?

  11. Buddy Biancalana February 15th, 2008 at 5:48 pm

    Boston Dave-

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

  12. Brandon (Proud supporter of "Alex being Alex") February 15th, 2008 at 5:48 pm

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

    Burp!

    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 February 15th, 2008 at 5:58 pm

    Yeah, those experts are out to lunch

  17. li February 15th, 2008 at 6:01 pm

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

  18. Joe from Long Island February 15th, 2008 at 6:03 pm

    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 February 15th, 2008 at 6:07 pm

    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 February 15th, 2008 at 6:12 pm

    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) February 15th, 2008 at 6:14 pm

    Thank goodness spring training is here.

  22. Boston Dave February 15th, 2008 at 6:17 pm

    Rebecca,

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

  23. mel February 15th, 2008 at 6:18 pm

    Rebecca,

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

  24. Trish February 15th, 2008 at 6:19 pm

    He’s out. Yogi says so.

  25. Boston Dave February 15th, 2008 at 6:20 pm

    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 February 15th, 2008 at 6:47 pm

    Boston Dave: You should TOTALLY do that.

  27. mel February 15th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

    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 February 15th, 2008 at 6:53 pm

    And Rebecca revives it! Good job.

  29. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08 February 15th, 2008 at 6:56 pm

    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 February 15th, 2008 at 9:12 pm

    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.
