Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed

Open Playoffs Thread, 10/6

Is anyone else pretending that the Giants actually moved to Tampa in 1993 and are still in the playoffs, or is that just me?

Does that mean we get Evan Longoria, Scott Kazmir, BJ Upton, and still get to keep the Giants in SF?

OT - Cheerwine

At long last, I tracked down some Cheerwine locally. I bought two bottles (one for me, one for the fella). There was a lady ahead of me at the register at BevMo buying a few bottles; in fact, the guy manning the wine tasting table in the back (yes, I stopped off there first. Don’t judge me!) told me that there’s a devoted local following, and the store goes through its supply pretty quickly.

At any rate – I enjoyed it very much. I agree with whoever said “like Dr. Pepper, but better.” It had a good flavor and the smoothness of real sugar.

Next time I’m at BevMo, I’ll be loading up some more.

So to whoever first brought it up – thanks for the suggestion!

But isn’t that basically just a cut fastball grip?

you know what’s weird? My little league coach taught me that pitch in the early nineties. I’ve never heard anyone else talk about it until now.

Travis Denker can hit a little. That's why I drive his bus. Not much about baseball here .

Hmm before this season, Kotsay has had 28 games at 1B, mostly for the Marlins. Still weird though.

Yeah, I know they went something like 8-1 against the Sox.

But playing nearly 60 games against the Rangers, A’s, and Mariners helped pad their record.

Anaheim Angels

Angel management has many player decisions this winter. Gonna guess they re-sign Teixiera and let KRod walk. They also will want to add Wood to the mix at either SS or 3b
