tyrus3: "I am naming my kid Tyrus Tris....after Cobb and Speaker." What about Mordecai Denton? After 3 Finger Brown and Denton True "Cy" Young? Or Napoleon Cap after Nap Lajoie and Cap Anson?

NYB: "1) To date, Don Mattingly is the best pure hitter I have ever seen. I dont think anyone this side of Tony Gwinn worked at it harder, and if he didnt hurt his wrist/back, this Will Clark comparison wouldnt even be a footnote." Excellent points. Props will be forthcoming .. But to add...

Al Gore invented working at Innitech and not considering myself a pussy.

Bucky Katt: "I still don't see Mattingly being WAY, WAY, WAY better over that stretch." How so? You just gave me 5 seasons where each player's respective averages were as follows: Runs: 100.4 (DM) vs 94 (WC) Hits: 205.6 (DM) vs 173.6 (WC) 2B: 44 (DM) vs 31 (WC) HR: 27.4 (DM) vs...

Thump: "Damn you're bull-headed." No, dude - you take everything I say too literally. I would say that Donny's numbers are WAY, WAY, WAY better than Cecil Cooper, but I'll refrain from that.

AKAK: "Pretty Sure the Oriole in the 70's did that at least once... Grich, Robinson and Belanger." They did it at least 4 times. George Scott took home the GG at 1B in those years to avoid the full sweep.

Thump: "You said Mattingly's #'s were "WAY, WAY, WAY better" and I showed you they weren't so then you start digging up awards and then are proven wrong again." Let me be more clear in my statement: in their respective PRIMES, Mattingly was WAY, WAY, WAY better than Clark. For career totals...

Thump: "First off, the DH reference was that Clark didn't have the protection of a DH. Still don't understand you r response." Then ignore it. I just threw it out there. Doesn't really matter either way. "Second, what do you think people look at when comparing players, career stats, not...

OB: "Did you tell him you're a Yankee fan, Sloop?" No, but I was inclined to ask him why he made the dumbest move I've ever seen in the 2000 World Series. Didn't ask him tho'. "Did you get a chance to talk about anything else?" Nah, I wished him good luck in the upcoming season. He's...

Thump: "And that says what?" That's a reply to this: "And also on a team that didn't have a DH." No big deal. Just thought I'd post it. But, other than piling your career totals crap, lets look at the numbers: 200 Hit Seasons: Clark: 0 Mattingly: 3 (238, 211, 207) Top Three...

Thump: "Do you realize how ridiculoous you sound trying to dig yourself out of this hole?" How am I in a hole? Clark played in 191 more games than Mattingly and had 23 more hits lifetime .. 'Splain how Clark was better besides posting his totals.

Donny also played 76 total games as a DH in his career.

Thump: "Clark played 1 more season than Mattingly." Clark played in 1,976 games compared with Mattingly's 1,785. That's a full season and a fifth of a season more than Donny, and Clark only has 23 more hits than Donny. Plus, in your "14 seasons" you're counting 1982 in which Mattingly...

I work in Stamford, CT and we just went to lunch at Bobby V's. Bobby Valentine was there, and we chatted it up a bit. Real nice guy, we were trying to figure out if there was a team in baseball history with 4 Gold Glovers in one year on the same Infield.

AKAK: "Sutter... maybe... though he sort of built the position." Also invented the Split Finger Fastball .. pretty important contribution to the game, don't you think? "Let's get Lee Smith, Rivera, John Franco, Trevor Hoffman into this discussion and benchmark "Closer" from there." None...

Sutter's the only guy on that list with an argument for the HOF .. there should be an option for Don Mattingly and Nobody as well. Here's hoping that Donny Baseball gets in.

Cheers & a very Happy Birthday, Old Man - next year, you'll be farting dust!

craigblitz: "Hawk ,Carp, Schlegal - Can not de-value what these 3 youung men have done. With that said, I really think our DL did a really good job of helping them out and keeping bodies off them, but face we may never see a complete unit like that for a long time." I think Schlegal can be...

The pre-game media hype definately was the same for both games: Mark May and other idiots picking a 40-20 romp, the comparisons between '05 USC and '02 Miami against the greatest teams of all time before they even won anything, etc. One thing about the BCS Title game: the Underdog (if...

Guy Incognito: "Does everything have to revolve around the Yankees?" Is it too late to address my reply to Guy Incognito?
