***LET'S STAR WITH MR RICE***
Picasner did agree that Rice was a feared hitter, but numbers do not tell the whole story. A-Rod produces great numbers, much better than Rice, but outside of a couple of months in 2006, he has never shown a consistent ability to "carry" a team. Now, A-Rod will get in to the Hall because, ultimately, his numbers will about double Jim Rice's. By the way, Rice played LEFT field in Fenway, maybe the easiest outfield position in the majors. Picasner stands by his outfield analysis.
***RICKEY'S IN - LET IT GO***
There is a lot of flak from sportswriters because Rickey wasn't unanimous. Why is that? Is he more deserving than Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays or even Babe Ruth? Of course not. It does lead Picasner to this thought: maybe that's the criteria to determine whether a player is deserving of election. If there is talk about unanimity, then he deserves to be elected. If not, sorry, you're out. Just a passing thought.
***MATT MILLEN LANDS ON HIS FEET***
He has been hired as analyst for NBC. How can you take anything he says about the game seriously. He was so good with the Lions, that in a few short years, he analyzed the talent that produced an 0-16 season. The only thing he didn't do was lose the team bus in a crap game. NBC: The National Bumbling Company.
***FROM FARK.COM***
After Florida State and South Florida agreed to a home-and-home matchup: FSU, USF to play in Palindrome Bowl.
***DWIGHT PERRY, SEATTLE TIMES***
While the Yanks were doling out millions for Sabathia, Teixeira and Burnett, the Red Sox tossed out a Schilling and picked up a Penny.
***YANKS CONTEMPLATING SOME MORE MOVES***
The Washington Nationals are interested in Nady and Swisher and have reportedly offered a Senator, a White House intern and two Representatives to be named later. That should help with the Yanks bond issue problems in NYC.
