The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Tiger Woods, Dan Haren, Rich Harden (love hate thing), Travis Buck, Mark Kotsay, Nick Swisher
Favorite Sports Teams

Oakland A's, San Diego Padres, Golden State Warriors, San Francisco 49ers
All Time Sports Moment

Tiger Woods chip-in at the 16th hole of the Masters Tournament... "In your life have you ever seen anything like it?!... This guy's pretty good."
Most Memorable Game Attended

First A's game, A's faced Atlanta. The first 5 hits the A's gave up were home runs... ouch, including one mammoth one Javy Lopez hit when he was on the juice. But, Eric Byrnes threw me a ball and we gave Gary Sheffield hell out in right field. "Gary, you're losing the battle against gingivitis!!! Stop chewing!!"
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

The win total Tiger Woods is going to set.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth. Giants suck.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana. He's pretty darn good.
Pele or Maradona?

Who cares?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Pac 10! Gooooooooo BEARS!

Great look at the shortstops, I had a hard time deciding between the two myself. I went with Reyes in my rankings, but I agree that in the long run Ramirez looks to have a bigger upside.

Anyway a few of us here in the Bleacher Report have started a fantasy league on Yahoo if your interested. The league ID and password are below. You can leave a comment on when a draft could be done, we'll try to figure out the best option. I think another writer Will Overton will be chronicling the season here on BR. Anyway, thought you might be interested.
