Well ... the Saux have certainly been here before ... facing a seemingly insurmountable deficit in the ALCS against a very capable opponent. Can they come back again ... like they did to the Yankmees back in '04? Or will they wilt and die as against the ChiSox in '05? (Had to get that in there just to make myself feel good ... pretty obvious I know). What say you Saux … [Read more...] about Do or Die for the BoSox

Frank Thomas = Hall of Famer
I wrote this as a comment to earlier posting, but didn't want it hiding in there due to the likely discussion it merits: Note to Aaron and all Frank Thomas HoF doubters: Although he’s a full-time DH now and has been for several years, he was a full-time 1B pretty much for the 1st half of his career. (Not saying he played it all that well). He’s a 2 time MVP, and if you look … [Read more...] about Frank Thomas = Hall of Famer
