I saw the special on MLB Network last night about the Bartman game. You both are right about Dusty Baker, he is the reason that game was lost. How long he left Prior in never gets talked about! My wife is a die-hard Giants fan (WTF, right?) and she still hates Dustiny for handing the game ball to Russ Ortiz when he took him out of Game 6 in 2002.
I liked Mark Grace a lot as a player too, but he is God awful as a broadcaster. I get Extra Innings so I can watch Dodger games and when it is the AZ feed, I just listen to Vin through my computer.

1 - I remember the wood baseball cards
2 - Alex Gonzalez (for the cubs) gets a pass for that game 6 loss. his error was the play of the game IMO
3 - Grace is AWUL as a broadcaster. I have the package as well and I hate when they give us the ARIZ feed.

Dodgers should be tough this year. They gotta get rid of Loney though. He's not a starter on a championship team

AGonz' error was definitely the play of the game. The Cubs still had Wood going the next day and couldn't close it out.

I was dating this girl back then and she was on the college dance team... on the night of Game 6, I somehow got coaxed (read: sex) into going to some stupid basketball season preview pep rally thing that the dance team was a part of. Anyways, I of course brought one of those handheld TVs with me. I was on the verge of tears during that awful pep rally. Talking about this is making me depressed.

Yeah Gonzalez has to take a lot of the blame too. I thought his response to the error was interesting where he basically blamed it on the top spin. I give him props for agreeing to be in the breakdown of the game, but he has to make that catch or, at worst, knock it down and get one out.
I love James Loney! My wife always makes fun of me because she says only me and his mom get excited about him. Sure, he's not a power hitter but he hits in the clutch, is always around 90 RBIs and plays good defense. I do overvalue him though. He's on my fantasy team, of course (me and his mom!) and I have a problem benching him. I put him in the other day over Adam Dunn and paid for it when Dunn hit a home run and had like 4 RBIs!

Want to go with the Cubbies, but $350 tells me to go with the Rays.

I take Tampa Bay Rays.

Yeah it does not look good. I think I got pretty lucky for having the last pick. I'm happy with my teams. Did we finally decide on the pay out? Is it monthly?
