I think it's very possible, if they (the Cardinals) can manage any type of defense at all. The Cardinals air attack, especially at home, is unreal, and having Boldin back makes it even better. Everyone thinks the Cards are totally for shit because of that debacle in New England, but that was in a snowstorm, and Kurt Warner absolutely can't play in those conditions.

I agree. Gooooo Penn State (Nittany) Lions!

I've been vacationing on the beach for the past several days. When I get back to work I'll start paying more attention to sports and other things.

Eckstein has always annoyed me. As someone who only casually follows the Jays, I was hoping they could keep John McDonald in the starting lineup just because he's incredible with the glove.

If he could just have a healthy year, A.J. Burnett could be dominating. He's tough (especially on the Yanks).

BJ's already on the DL too. And is it worse for a man or a woman to be known as BJ? And is Sanders signed with anyone yet for this season? I hadn't heard.

Thanks for the correction. Upton came to mind because he's up with the big team now and I didn't want to put down someone who is at AAA at this point. It's borderline ridiculous how Upton is ten at-bats over the limit to be considered a rookie, while Fukudome plays nine seasons in Japan and is still viewed as a rookie.

I agree with what you said, dfleming. What it comes down to is probably the tone of the comments. It's easy to realize when someone posts a remark and puts absolutely no though into its content, how it's written, or how it may be taken by others. I posted a comment bringing up the problems Favre had in Atlanta, such as his alcohol abuse, merely because it's actually a huge turning point for one franchise (Atlanta), in a negative way, while being an even bigger one, in a positive way, for Green Bay. I could have posted this by saying, "Favre was a drunken idiot in Atlanta," but that wouldn't be responsible. At the same time, I agree we don't need to treat the guy like he's dead with 50-100 posts saying, "Thanks Brett, Enjoy Your Retirement!" I'd much rather discuss the good, not so good, whatever, with regards to topics, but in a civil (for the most part, hopefully) way.

The posting of links that have nothing to do with the topic simply to get in a jab. I entered a response to the link I posted and in no way meant it to be a "dig" at anyone. Sometimes I think people consider a "dig" to be anything they don't like or agree with. My link had to do with "haters," which others wanted to label people earlier in the thread, and also spoke to the intensity some high-strung individuals feel about a rivalry such as Yankees-Red Sox. It was also current, in the news today. But if this "thread-pissing" stuff is going to be defined and weeded out, it needs to be a rule of conduct for everyone, including the people with single-digit numbers on their member jerseys.

No, jerseygirl. I wouldn't do that, but thought they needed to at least realize they are never as safe as they may believe they are. They got the point and we never had to do more than show up in front of them. Better they learn from someone like me than from the next person they act that way to, who may possibly deal with the issue much in the way you describe.

If everyone who used email to do the electronic equivalent of yelling, "Oh...oh yeah? Well...well...well...fuck you!!! from the safety of his big brother's speeding car That brings me back to a time when I worked at a factory, and every so often had to go on the roof to patch leaks. A bridge ran over the factory, and when a nearby school would let out, a few kids would stand up on the bridge, yell all kinds of shit at me, throw stuff, etc. They thought they were safe way up on the bridge, untouchable, and could do or say anything they wanted. One day after they started walking away, I went down the ladder, jumped in a vehicle with a co-worker (who resembled Lawrence Taylor) and we drove up and found the kids. Scared the living fuck out them. Individuals who posture like tough guys over the internet bring me back to that memory for some reason.

She's very, very short. Wow. I'd say so! I've got this mental picture of the poor little gal jumping up and down, able to hit the "7" button but not the "10." NakedSnakeNukeman? Now, now. A little respect for the dearly departed. I've got a feeling he'll show back up with a different e-mail and username.

We'll get another, I think. Fourteen would be good. The more the merrier.

I put a message on my post, and as of now, there was 12 teams. I'm not sure if you want to cut it off or see if we get two more.

Maybe you should work a little note into one of the front page baseball posts that will appear in the next few days about the league. I'm not sure everyone who comes on SF routinely check the Locker Room.

Does everyone who may want to join realize it's Yahoo fantasy baseball? I didn't see it noted with the ID (77368) and password (tigersalcschamps).

Doesn't really matter to me. I have something to do later in the day (and through the night) on the 17th, but earlier in the a.m. is fine, or the next day (although my head may feel differently).
