On a side note, while I was on vacation snorkling in the coral reef in Florida, I had to sign all kinds of waivers about heart attcks etc. Wondered about that. While I was out there a guy on another boat had a heart attack out in the water and died. I guess they don't move for a couple of years and then come out and snorkle and die. Sad but true.

Dude, the guy died on his vacation. Was he on the same cruise ship as you were ?

We won a World Series in 2006. How many players are left on the 2009 team from that team in 2006? 5, Pujols, Molina, Carpenter, Wainwright and Kinney(who never sees the field).

So it can be done. We kept 4 core players(pretty damn good core) and rebult. We turned a team around in less than 3 years and are ready to contend again. How? It wasn't money. It was drafting. We had talent in the minors to give up for Derossa and Holliday because of good drafting.

You could turn the roster over every three years and keep one guy in place. W/O that one guy, you're a 70 win team.

And I was kidding about the contraction comment. I think.

Am I the only one who feels getting applauded while your hauled off the field on a stretcher sends mixed signals?

Had it happened in the other Pennsylvania stadium he'd have been booed instead.

Dude, I had people die on me on a daily basis for years. You just block it out and move on. Not your fault, nothing you could have done to prevent it etc. The wife had a hard time moving on though.

Respiratory therapist. Mainly worked ICU and ER. You see the guys on TV doing chest compressions or putting tubes down peoples throats to help them breath?, thats us not the doctors in real life. Lost count of the number of lives I saved (at least a 100 persons), but I lost 1000 or more trying to save them.

Okay.

I thought maybe you were a contract killer or something.

In a unique case like this, if that were the case, I'm sure someone on the team would step up and cover for the guy. Maybe Pujols.

In most cases, it's not sad. It's common sense--stay off the field. Now, if a guy gets clocked in his seat, that's a different story. I don't know why fans think because they pay for a seat, they have the license to do whatever they want.
