Favorite Quotes:

"The one that invented the light tried 2,000 times and finally he did it. We have light because he spent 2,000-some times and finally he did it. I don’t want to spend 2,000 times to win Opening Day, but I think I will do it this year and go from there.’’ - Carlos Zambrano

"Playoffs?" - Jim Mora

"Were talkin' bout practice. Not a game, not a game...practice." - Allen Iverson

"I'm not at the top yet. I'm very, very good; to the naked eye it looks like, 'What more can he do?' But there's much room for improvement." - Chad Johnson

''When I'm 90 years old and talking to my grandkids and hopefully great-grandkids, I won't be the grandparent who tells them about the things I wished I had done and how they should experience life. I will be the grandparent with tons of great stories that hopefully inspires them to live their lives to the fullest.'' - Mark Cuban

"Next question," - Drew Rosenhaus

    thanks sam for the comment! i think alot of people still need to come to terms with the fact that the Vikings are still not at that "greatness" level yet, nor will they be for a long time, and the Lions just arent going to be that good at all. their schedule proves it.

    Thanks for the edit, but the Shields on the Rays is James Shields, a starter; Scot Shields (one t) is a reliever for the LA Angels.
    Thanks for the note about first and last names too.

    Thanks Sam, for encouraging Andy to write about his feelings for the Cubs in his article about his return from Bosnia and other places. That is exactly the kind of leadership and support the Cubs page needs. You are a valuable contributor Sam, and I appreciate your help.

    thanks for the comment...

    actually the funny thing is, i am a big time yankees fan. But I really do appreciate baseball and i feel like this story about the Cubs 100 years later is a story of great importance to any baseball fan.

    thanks again for the kind words... and if not the Yankees... best of luck to the Cubs!
