I was curious if anyone knew anything about these professional sports ? I am considering signing up for this sports handicapping service. It looks pretty promising and its backed by a clickback guarantee which means your going to get your money back if you don't like the system or it simply doesn't work. Has anyone tried anything like this?

Good post – from my perspective, Hughes continues to work through challenges and is improving. He’ll emerge shortly as an impact player and the Yankeees will be rewarded for their patience.

Good stuff, thanks Peter. Sounds like Phil could be the sixth starter, and number 5/4 next year.

“He was impressive,” Jorge Posada said. “Everything I saw, I liked.”

^^
That’s all that matters.

Could this be the year Phil Franchise emerges?

To me it was a sad commentary on viewing players as “assets”- something Cashman has been guilty of. They may be assets but first and foremost they are human.

I am shocked to see so many (even if only a few) with such Jeter distaste.

Jeter is overrated.

Sorry GB

Didn’t mean to ruin the fun by showing the rest of the quote.

That stuff is common fare around here any time things get slow.

The article you linked about John Odom is sad. Hate to see youth wasted, regardless of the reason. It’s a tragedy for his family.

It makes the Josh Hamilton story the mirror image of the Odom story. Similar, but opposite. I still don’t see Hamilton as a hero who overcame adversity, but, doesn’t mean I’m sorry that he turned it around. A hero/enlightening tory is RA Dickey, who’s pitching in the majors despite being born without an Ulner Collateral Ligament in his pitching elbow/forearm (Tommy John Surgery when it’s torn).

So Pete took the quote totally out of context to bash ARod? Shocking!

A-Rod was talking about speed not about Jeter or Damon.

“I wish he was leading off on our team, playing on our team,” Rodriguez said of Reyes, who hustled to take an extra base in the fifth inning, then stole third and scored in the Dominican team’s 10-1 win over the Marlins.

“That’s fun to watch. Anytime you have that type of speed … I mean, we have a guy in Gardner that’ll be fun.

Yes, but, that’s boring stuff and doesn’t sell papers or get blog hits.
