I have learned so much, many times the hard way. The teams I have played on here have been less than marvelous, and I personally have had my share of ups and downs. For some reason, though, I've grown fond of ...Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:31:51 GMThttp://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=449909http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=445063It's 2 a.m., and I'm rolling in my bed.

Am I ever going ...Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:08:43 GMThttp://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=445063http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=442544Sometimes, though, the best players in the league aren't the best prospects.

The sellout crowd was on its feet. A true showman, Big Papi gave the crowd a couple of looks, a full grin and a small wave ...Wed, 30 Jul 2008 01:07:38 GMThttp://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=439886Boston Red Soxhttp://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=437028This feeling was of my choosing; it was what I desired for our All-Star break.

We're in such need of a ...Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:07:03 GMThttp://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=434513Major League Baseballhttp://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=432579Being a pitcher, I am not a fan of the crack of the bat.
