| | | | Where will Adam Dunn get traded to? | | I love Adam Dunn but he has to be traded from Cincinnati. Any thoughts about where he fits in best? I'd like to see him in Yankee pinstripes. | |
| | Gooden and Strawberry inducted to the Mets Hall of Fame | | I read a article yesterday in the Montreal Gazette newspaper stating that the New York Mets will induct both Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry into their Hall of Fame. With all the legal and drug problems these two players have encounter it clearly is evident that their inductions were for on the field achievements and not off the field. Would raises the question, when will Pete Rose become availiable to enter the other Hall of Fame in Cooperstown or even amoung the Cincinnati Reds organisation? | |
| | Do you know someone who has become famous? | | The other day I was asking about celebrity crushes, and it reminded me of the fact that I went through school with a boy who is now a professional baseball player. That got me to thinking, I wonder if there are other people that know someone that was famous or that eventually became famous.The person that I know is Austin Kearns, who is a professional baseball player, he started out on the Cincinnati Reds and was later traded to the Washington Nationals. He is a great person and growing up he always was a sweet boy.So, tell me, do you know someone that is famous as well? | |
| | The big city near me is laying off police officers | | I live near Dayton, Ohio, which one article I read said was one of the most violent in the nation. I wouldn't go that far, but I'm awfully glad I don't live there! Violence is escalating there. So the city is laying off 11 police officers and the union rep pointed out that waste and water weren't cut although they could be. He also said the city officials still had their skybox at the Cincinnati Reds stadium (baseball) and he named a number of other luxuries that I can't remember.So, why can't we make officials give up their luxuries before they endanger our lives by laying off police officers? This is ridiculous. It's as if the people don't matter as long as those in charge are taken care of. And the remaining police are in even more danger than before. I'm just ranting, not expecting many responses. I'm really fed up with the way cities, states and the nation are being run. They want us to sacrifice but they won't do without in order to help.[em]angry[/em] | |

| | Pete Rose...Hall of Fame or Not? | | Should baseball's all time hit leader, Pete Rose, be inducted into the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown? Even though he bet on baseball?Does the Cincinnati Reds player known as Charlie Hustle deserve a place in the hall of Fame?Should his off field actions overshadow his on field accomplishments? | |
| | Soriano to Cubs; Dodgers turn attention to Pierre after retaining Garciaparra | | Alfonso Soriano is focused on bringing a World Series title to Wrigley Field for the first time. Soriano's $136 million, eight-year contract was announced Monday by the Chicago Cubs after he passed a physical, the fifth-highest contract in baseball history and the first of eight years or more since Scott Rolen's deal with St. Louis in September 2002. "It's a big contract, but that's not my goal," Soriano said. "My goal is to play hard and give you a championship for the city. That's my goal. It's not about the contract." Chicago, which gave third baseman Aramis Ramirez a $75 million, five-year deal, hasn't won the World Series since 1908, when it played at the second West Side Park. In hopes of winning a championship, the Cubs are moving to the top level of baseball spenders, joining the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. General manager Jim Hendry isn't worried that Soriano, who turns 31 in January, will tail off drastically by the end of the deal. "He's lean. He's like a greyhound, this guy. He's some kind of an athlete, and that's a very, very young body for his age," Hendry said. "Who knows if somebody is going to be as productive at 38 as they... | |
