Well it seems to have gone the other way. Ortiz has been terrible this year. But then again, that's only if you believe in this curse stuff. Laughing

Haha, well as one of the callers on Yankee radio said: "I don't believe that a curse caused Boston to not win a championship for over 80 years. Let's face facts... they've just sucked for over 80 years!" Laughing

How are the Nats doing? Padres are consistently inconsistent...

Laughing Nice. I saw a guy here, one of the football players wearing a red Nats cap... So I ask him if he's a Nats fan... he said "no... bloods"... I turned around and walked away. Laughing

Laughing I remember watching a show way back in the days about what each cap means. Like how the Astros have the star that splits apart means you're disrespecting another gang or some crap. Laughing

Laughing I've learned not to wear yellow around the Bronx in fear that the Latin Kings will get you. A friend of mine coming back from a late Yankee game got the sh!t beat out of him by the Kings. 4th guy from my school this year... common factor? All were in yellow. Shocked

That's nuts. We have issues with ms13 here, but they tend to usually deal among Latinos. Crazy Latin gangs running a mock.

NEWSFLASH!!! Miguel Tejada is 33 years old ... not 31. Laughing This is just so random.

Quote:
Tejada lied about age

HOUSTON (AP) -- Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada has told the team he's actually 33, two years older than he's listed in the club's media guide and other baseball records.

Tejada, saying he wanted rid himself of a burden, approached general manager Ed Wade and asked to correct misinformation he gave the Oakland A's when he signed in 1993, the Houston Chronicle reported on its Web site Thursday.

Team officials were not immediately available to comment to The Associated Press. The Astros were wrapping up a three-game series Thursday with the Phillies in Philadelphia.

Tejada was actually 19 when he signed out of poverty-stricken Bani, Dominican Republic. At the time, he says, a local coach encouraged him to say he was 17.

"I'm a poor kid that wanted to sign," Tejada said on the Chronicle site. "I'm feeling free now. It's something that I had in my mind."

The former American League MVP was signed out of the Dominican Republic by Hall of Famer Juan Marichal, but he was clear Marichal had no part in the deception. Moreover, Wade and Tejada both said the shortstop's green card, driver's license and other legal papers in the United States reflect his actual birthday, May 25, 1974.

The Astros' media guide lists his birthday as May 25, 1976.

The Rockies beat the Padres in a 22 inning marathon. Final score ... 2-1. I wonder if they started to serve beer again? Laughing I mean come on, from the 7th inning to the 22nd inning with no beer. That would make people go mad.

It has been for the last few years. Relying on old arms and no 'real' good prospects.

Kyle Farnsworth is the biggest joke in baseball. Throws about 93, but has no movement and places it right on the heart of the plate. Even I could hit that out of the park. No wonder he enters a game to a sea of boos from his team's supporters. The one time he gets cheered this season is when he threw that fastball right at Ramirez's head. Haha.

Excellent performance by Wang tonight. Arguably the only Yankee starter who is producing well for them.
