<< <i>I feel no love as a Dodger fan, a Laker fan and as a UCLA fan. Can you throw anything my way?

The dodgers can keep Manny. No one else seems to be showing any real interest.
1. I give you a nice, respectable fan base.
How about a season ticket waiting list of over 50,000 - how's that for a respectable fan base?
2. I give you players who know the rules of the game.
I imagine over half the players in the league didn't know about "that"
3. I give you fifty dunkin donut stores right next to the coaches office.
That's Stalin's line - come up with something original.
4. I give you Santa Clause in a knights suit.
i have no idea what this means, and don't care.
To the Philadelphia Phillies.......

Perhaps the most pathetic sports comment ever on Sports Talk - You just dissed your own beloved team because the Red Sox didn't repeat - and even throwing that out, it is still a pathetic comment compared to understanding how tough it is to repeat a championship in any professional sport.
1. I give you a new name for your baseball team.
2. I give you the right to never have to face the Red Sox again in the playoffs.

2.*Steel bars, locks and chains to keep the fans from fleeing next time they get blown out in a playoff game.
*Only because you insulted the Dallas Cowboys.

The Red Sox have won 2 of the last 5 world series, and were one game away this year from having the honor of beating the Philadelphia Flukies for their 3rd world series in 5 years.
The Philadelphia Flukies were b**** slapped by the Colorado Rockies last year, and haven't won another world series
since 1983. So either make a go at it again next year, or be remembered as the team that got lucky.

From what I hear if Manny decides for arbitration by Monday, he will end up with a huge one year contract with the Dodgers.
<< <i> To the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim......
1. I give you a new name for your baseball team.
2. I give you the right to never have to face the Red Sox again in the playoffs. >>
I could never get why the Angels are the Los Angeles Angels. I like the days back when they were the California Angels or the Anaheim Angels.

1) Another overrated and drastically overpaid Asian pitcher who will only get you through half a game.
2) The new DVD called "How to Tackle Really Old Guys" made by some guy named Pedro
Good stuff Bill

2. I give you 80 million dollars stolen from the tax paying citizens of Lee County, FL to build you a new spring training facility, which will include a smaller version of Fenway Park, although you have a perfectly good stadium already, complete with state of the art training facilities. We'll ignore the fact that you held the County hostage while supposedly negotiating a deal with Sarasota County, FL which mysteriously fell through. Some coincidence huh? We'll also ignore the fact that you're putting little or no financial backing into the deal and that this project will steal raises from employees and capital improvements from the rest of the County. Such a deal for 6-8 weeks of activity which you claim will bring us tons of money, while we make ten times as much on the rest or our tourism for 12 months a year.

1973 Philadelphia 76ers (9-73)
The 1973 Philadelphia 76ers posted the worst record the NBA has ever seen. The squad lost eight times as many games as it won and I think it’s safe to say that that’s one locker room you wouldn’t want to have been in. Unless the team was just a happy go lucky squad who didn’t really care whether they won a game. That would definitely explain the minuscule amount of wins. I mean, they did live in the seventies after all. Regardless of the reasons, the 76ers will go down in history as the worst basketball team to have ever laced up the high tops.
1916 Philadelphia Athletics (36-117)
The Philadelphia Athletics earn the title of worst team to ever play in the American League. In case you didn’t know, the AL has been around since 1901. They’re horrendous season is generally blamed on Connie Mack, who was a precursor to Marlins owners Jeffrey Loria. Both men were businessmen first whose love of money may have outweighed their perception of a contender. At least Mack didn't have a phobia of winning like Loria, though.
I just had to throw this in after that comment.
STEVE ... only having a few laughs.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

You used the phrase "I give you a chance to prove that you were not a fluke..Don't blow the chance. Either prove you were for real, or go home." which implies the word "repeat" - You said it - Well, I don't see any Red Sox repeats there - don't see any ...I'm looking again...don't see any...I'm looking again...don't see any. So this means your beloved junior circuit team as you so aptly put it...should "go home" because they didn't repeat. You dissed your own beloved team. Pathetic.
