They will be fine. This is just a disinformation campaign that the Cubs are putting on so the rest in the NL Central will not worry about them :wink:

I'm confused, MSU. Are you saying the Cubs decided to injure Prior and Woods? :-?

I am just marking Cubbie's words. I can honestly say that I trust nobody's opinion on baseball more than Cubbie's. He is the pro. I hope that they have good years.



So shut the hell up. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sail on Dick Raditz...

Many of you may not know who he is but he was a Sox player back in the day. I am a youngin' so I never saw him play but I listened to his many appearances on WEEI and met him once at a Sox game. He lived in the town I currently go to school in and today he fell down a flight of stairs and passed away. He was a great Red Sox player and a great person.

Sail on Monster Raditz...

Sometimes we might fall; stand up taller. Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind. OAR

I heard this on the radio when I was on the train this morning. The sports guy on the station said Raditz struck Mickey Mantle out 54 times in his career. Not too shabby.

Here is a small blurb from today's Boston Globe.

''The Monster" nickname was born in 1963, after a game against the Yankees in Fenway Park in which Mr. Radatz entered with the bases loaded and struck out Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Elston Howard -- all American League MVPs at one time -- on a total of 10 pitches.

Mantle, the story goes, was heard to grumble about ''that monster" afterward, and a nickname was born. Newspaper reports say Mr. Radatz faced Mantle, a Hall of Famer, 63 times, and struck him out 47 times.

''Mickey used to say, 'Damn it, I know what he's going to throw and I still can't hit it," Monbouquette said. ''I think he hit one home run off Dick, in Yankee Stadium, and I think Dick broke his bat.
- - “If it doesn't work out there will never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain.”
