Review of Springsteen's Super Bowl Halftime Show: Greg Mitchell's take: "they done good." Should politics be interjected into the halftime show, or should it be just about the music?

Clemens back in the news again. Does anyone believe him now?: A package sent to his home? Who signed for it?

First point, as many games as I have been to, I have never caught a ball. Not even close. Home run, foul or even batting practice. I would want the ball. Second point, the Phillies had no right to seperate her from her guardian with the intention to retrieve the ball. Third and most important, What is the importance of Howard getting the ball? So he can put it in his collection of personal memorabilia? My money is on the ball being in Howards collection as we speak. They gave her a dummy ball. Howard has his, the girl has hers and whoever purchases her ball will be screwed. They gave it up way to easy.

Talk about a new defensive tool to be used by the teams in positioning the players. Yes, they already do this, but I think this will give more details than some guy sitting in the dugout charting tendencies.

Good thing this didn't happen in Saudi Arabia,(if they even have swimming competitions) cause he probably would have been arrested for indecency.

I think the school and district should hesitate hiring him again. Cmon, an umpire that can't handle the heat? Field of Dreams my ass.
For Briggs, who said he has umpired Iowa high school games for about a decade, there is no hesitation to umpire again.

I don't mind the hair so much, as long as it is within the realms of good taste. Whos good taste is not for me to judge. The Team has to decide that. I gotta say, I really disliked Manny's hair when he was with the Sox. Always reminded me of when Monica had dreads on 'Friends'. I also think no bling should be allowed on the field. I don't want to see these guys tucking away their diamond encrusted necklace between pitches. Especially during these hard times. I can't afford to take my family to the games anymore, and it's because the players make so much that they have to flaunt it in our face. (that doesn't mean I don't go to the games, I just don't take the family) As loose as my dress code is at work, I still have one, and it's not asking to much for thses guys to have one also. Don't give me that "I'm a grown man" crap. There are dress codes everywhere.

This post seems to focus a lot on Cassell, as it should, but very few are mentioning Brady. Granted, he is not the most mobil QB in the leauge to begin with, but this type of catastrophic knee injury may plague him for the rest of his career. Who is the 3rd string QB? Will he have a career year if Brady goes down again? MY gut says no. And holden? you meant here....right? I for one would never ridicule for spelling or grammer.

or......perhaps he's a mad scientist awaiting a time when he can Clone Roger and have a world champion pitcher as his son.

I doubt McNamee's basement is a cold, dark, damp, limestone wall, dirt floor basement. If he was stashing this evidence for later use, I would think the evidence box was treated like a trophy. He probably took it out once in a while and admired his valuble possessions. I don't think he's as dumb as you think. Maybe he saw the implications of what he was doing, for just this reason. So if he was ever called to testify under oath, he had proof he wasn't lying.

Although this is not the type of broadcast freedom I would like to see, (and I do want broadcast freedom) you have to admit this is way to funny. To bad it wasn't national.

Since most seem to be in agreement about the bunt moving the runners up. why not start out with runners at second and third. Take the bunt away, What is it, 13 ways to score from third without a hit?

ahem.... Home Run King? I suppose your talking of Bonds, right?Well check this stat out. Barry Bonds has participated in 6 Home Run Derbys since 1992. 15 years and 6 Home Run Derbys. Of the Derbys, his record is this: 1992-8th out of 8 (2 H.R.) 1993-T-3 of 8 (5 H.R.) 1996-1st out of 10 (7 H.R.) He won against McGwire(go figure) 2001-4th out of 8 10 H.R) 2002-7th out of 8 (2 H.R.) 2004-4th out of 8 (11 H.R) Why do you think he could actively participate this year? Cause he says he's healthy? Griffey Jr. hit from 1990-2000 He won 3 times and came in second 3 times, and as far as I know, nobody ever accused him of juicing. Just let Barry rest in peace (pieces)

I am 50 years old. I have been a baseball fan as long as I can remember(Cubs,...ya that's right Cubs). Never have I said out loud, or to myself for that matter, that this game is to slow. This is baseball. No clock, no sudden death, no set time limit, no set innings. It's baseball. In this day and age of instant gratification, I enjoy the slow pace. I can go from the car to my TV and not miss much.Your remote control is right there by your Barko Lounger. Turn it off if it bores you. And feel free to never turn baseball on again. Anything to make the game more accurate is fine with me. And for the record, I despise officials in any sport who suck. Baseball has their share of fat old men who can't, or don't run down the line to see what is sometimes obvious. The problem with extended replay(trapped balls and fair or foul), is what do you do with the base runners.
