PLEASE! Can the Sox run out a grounder?The Cubs keep their heads up?

I'm sorry but it's hard to root for teams that are so damned sloppy and unprofessional.

I swear I haven't seen a Red Sox player within 15 feet of first this series (save for Varetek). Hustle DAMNIT! You never know when Johnson is going to get a fish is his glove and if you aren't there you can't take advantage. They mope around like they expect to lose.

And last night in and after the eighth inning the Cubs were walking around as if they had already lost. They had two at bats left, get your head up!

I swear a lot of it has to do with how they carry themselves. When you are on the field (any field)

Head up
Eyes open
Shoulders square
Feet shoulder width apart
On the balls of your feet
Shouders over your toes

That is the "athletic position" and little things like that go a long way. And for crying out loud get some damned uniforms that fit you. This "working class hero" bulls**t has got to go, you are millionares and supposed to be professionals so act like. You look like slobs and you end up playing like it too. You would never see a New York Yankee (even Wells)or a Brave (yeah okay bring it on) look that sloppy, enough with the sweat stained hats and gummed up helmets, those people pay good money to come and see you at work so look and act like you didn't just roll out of bed.

These are things you were supposed to be taught the first day you ever put a uniform on.

1. Betcha we see a lineup change today

Nomar back to batting second perhaps?

I don't know...they've come back all year. I'd love to see a Game 7.

But they have to hustle, I agree with you!

8. What? You think they'll keep Nomar in the lineup?

Don't they have anyone on the bench that can hit? ;)

2. believe it or not Manny has 2 inf. Singles in this series so far.

I want to see them run out more three run homers.

an addendum to your list. No more earrings or long gold chains. On anyone. I am still waiting for a bad snag incident.

3. That is why it is forbidden on basketball courts

Organized play anyway. It's good thing because the bling bling would interfere with your view of the action.


Karim Garcia is the worst jewelry offender I have seen in that series, ironically enough.

4. Karim is OG

over gold.

Barry Bonds. Earth to Barry I don't think God wanted you to spend $175,000 on a diamond cross.
