Come on!  Don't you think it's possible the man made an error?  Baseball players make them EVERYDAY!  Surely you've messed up at some point in your life.  His error was just a very costly one.

I would have to say Bull Durham. I actually know the guy who played the umpire that called Kevin Costner out at home plate! He's a pretty cool guy that lives in Charlotte, NC.

It was very amusing. In fact it made me laugh my a$$ off. Remember though, for all his theatrics he did not bump, touch, or physically make contact with an umpire. Nor did he throw anything at an umpire. It was really more show than harmful. \n\nBasically he performed a montage of Managers anger at umpires greatest hits incorporating scenes from past arguments from experts like Lou Pinella, Billy Martin, and Larry Bowa... \n\nHe probaqbly doesn't even deserve his one week suspension, but because of the widespread play of it, they had very little choice.\n\nIMHO his comments after the game about how terrible the umpires are was a worse crime than his heat of the moment theatrics on the field.

Man why in the hell are you blaming bill buckner when clearly if you watch the flim the freaking catcher should have caught that ball that allowed kevin mitchell from 3rd to score that ball was clearly catchable then blame alex gonzalez for the error against the florida marlins he should've made that play and don't blame steve bartman cuz any god damn fan would've done that too.

Game 3 of the '84 Series, I was 7. My dad took me. My hometown heros won! Tigers beat Padres. That was the game were Gossage talked his manager into pitching to Kirk Gibson instead of walking him. Gibby ebeded up hitting a 3 run blast well into the upper right at Tiger Stadium. Classic.

Steinbrenner led a group that bought the Yankees from CBS Inc. in 1973 for $10 million. He controls 59 percent of the team.

The man was all guts, played with heart everyday, never a slacker. His on field talent should be enough to get him into the hall. My problem is he never really admitted to the public and baseball itself that he was wrong. He kind of but not really did this last time.....for one I don't think it was enough. Admit your fully wrong Pete, you were too good a player to not be there.

Well in 2006 roger clemens got about 12million, for a few months work, which equated to 22million over a full season.\n\nMike Mussina was paid 17million for the 06 season, Randy Johnson got 16mil, Schilling 13, Pedro 14, Andy Petitte got 17.5 wow.. Roy Oswalt is not a 13mil pitcher, Bartolo Colon 13, \n\nObviously Matsuzaka of Japan will join this list somewhere..\n\nI was just throwing out some names to give you an idea\n\nhttp://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/ is a good list of all the current contracts that are out there by team.

I remember a Mets pitcher with that last name. In his first appearance in the big leagues, 1973, as a reliever, he walked two batters in a row in the late innings agains the Pirates. This two teams were in  a dog fight  to win the National East. When the manager( Yogui Berra?)  replaced him, he dashed out of there. He became pretty good after that. Sorry, nostalgia.

Carl Pavano...he's barely pitched and hes making 4 yrs 40 mil\n\noh to the red sox fan who said "not taking steroids"\n\nyou mean like the steroids Nomar was taking all those years?  Or Curt Schilling for that matter?  Funny how Schilling didn't start getting good until he was 30...\n\ngod red sox fans are annoying

I woke up when Bowa was fired.  Love baseball,  but the manager was fired by the fox watching the hens.\n\nNow,  a change in ownership is the only solution.  I say Donald Trump should buy the Phillies for  his interest in (sic) gambling.. The team needs a name to blame, not some anonymous pussies from the main line

Canseco got what he had coming. I used to be a big fan of his. I am from Cincinnati but I rooted for the A's in the 90 world series against the Reds because I liked Canseco, McGuire, Dave Stewart and others so much but I fell out of favor with those guys. I would never deny a 12 year old kid my autograph. Jose is a dick and that's why he's poor and has to scrum off of his brother Ozzie now, even though he's broke too!!

Does anyone really care? I mean the drama king of baseball would do all of us a favor if he retired. What an example he is setting for young people: waiting to see who might be a winner before he decides, as though winning were the most important thing. I am a Red Sox fan and truly hope he NEVER pitches again for the Boston Red Sox. He has always been a money grubber and has demonstrated that his loyalty is to Roger and only Roger. Frankly, I am sick of such prima donnas, Clemens being the worst ever. Too bad too, because he was a great pitcher.

Yes, and while the Giants are at it they should trade their whole bullpen. Worrell, Accardo, etc... I am a huge Giants fan, and it pisses me off when the starters pitch a great game and then hand it off to the bullpen for them to screw it up. Like 2nite against the Rangers, Worrell and Accardo almost blew the game. And they actually did, but the umpire blew the call on Texeira's line shot.\n\nTrade the whole bullpen.
