unbelieveable.  TGP wonders what her hourly rate is?

JT -

TGP bets that even as a longtime Yanks fan you know all the answers to TGP's Sox Quiz.

Yep. JT is a big baseball fan in general.  We used to play what if:  Williams and DiMaggio trade (actually talked about).  Swap Pudge and Munson.  Remy and Randolph etc. 

DO you really think any of those trades would have made a difference?  Ted Williams, Fisk, and Remy are all staples in Red Sox history.  As are your guys.  The 'what if' would be like 'what if Biff Tannen got the Gray's Sports Almanac' and we got to see it.  History was changed forever.  But in this case, it's not black and white.  I just can't imagine seeing any of those guys in a Yankees uni.

Catcher Elston Howard helped lead a 1967 Red Sox staff into the World Series after a being in 9 World Series as a Yankee.

JT liked having Boggs around in 1995-96.

Sparky Lyle was a very good pitcher for the Red Sox, before heading to the Yankees and winning titles in 1977-78.

Bernie Williams was sooo close to being a Red Sox.

When were kids.  We used to debate who was better.  What if you had this guy instead of that guy.

TGP Sox Fan quiz:

Which Sox player used to wear #8 and played LF for the Sox?

What's Dewey Evans first name?

Who was "Oil Can" Boyd?

Which former Sox player had the nick name "El Guapo"?

Who was "Pudge"?  

If they can't answer any of these questions correctly, you have TGP's blessing to kick them in the nuts and call them a herb.

Thank you,

The Mgmt

Gro will go ahead and punch himself in the nuts. El Guapo was a pitcher.

[labart96]

Correct. 



Rich Garces is his real name.  Listed at 6', 250 lbs but probably was more like 5' 10" 300 lbs when he played with the Sox.

After having travelled with Boggs during his stint with the Rays I can verify those stories.  He was incredible.

[Pat Coleman]

Garces still pitching -- with Nashua in the Atlantic League, I believe.

After having rubbed elbows on many occasions with Frank Sinatra, LD11 can verify that he would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My time with Frank was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe.  At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

Iona loses football opponent
By JOSH THOMSON
THE JOURNAL NEWS

(Original publication: June 15, 2007)
An abrupt decision has left the Iona College football team with an open date on its schedule this fall and the future status of MAAC football in doubt.

The Division I-AA Gaels were stunned to learn yesterday that MAAC member Saint Peter's dropped its football program effective immediately. The decision left Iona without a game the first week in November, when it was scheduled to play its eighth game of the season at the Jersey City rival.

Garces still pitching -- with Nashua in the Atlantic League, I believe.

Correct, and the best moment of any game Rolevio has ever witnessed was El Guapo trying to get his head into a batting helmet during interleague play.

Western Connecticut and Salisbury were scheduled to play St. Peter's this season.

St. Peter's Drops Its Football Program
Cited concern for its athletes and difficulty remaining competitive

June 14, 2007

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Saint Peter's College dropped its non-scholarship Division I-AA football program Thursday, citing concern for its athletes and difficulty remaining competitive.

"You have to feel for the kids," athletic director Bill Stein said in a telephone interview from his office at the Jersey City school. "It was a very tough decision, but it was the right decision."

Stein informed coach Chris Taylor, the only full-time member on the football staff, of the decision Thursday morning. Stein said the school was in the process of relaying the decision to the 33 returning players and 14 incoming freshmen.

Taylor was not immediately available for comment.

Saint Peter's, 2-8 last season, has played football since 1971, when the program was Division III. The program was suspended in 1984 and '88 for a lack of players. The Peacocks went Division I-AA in 1993 when the NCAA passed legislation prohibiting Division I programs from having sports below Division I. The Peacocks are 38-103 since the move.

Stein cited the demise of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference football league, recruiting problems and scheduling difficulties as the main reasons for deciding to end the program.

"I have a responsibility for the health, safety and well being of our student-athletes," Stein said.

The MAAC football league was vibrant in the early '90s, but Fairfield, Siena and Canisius stopped fielding teams and St. John's, Georgetown and Duquesne have either left the league or are leaving next year.

Saint Peter's also had trouble scheduling games because it does not have an on-campus field. It plays its home games at Cochrane Stadium, a facility owned by Jersey City. The city only allowed St. Peter's to play on Thursday and Saturday nights, so it was hard to schedule games, Peacocks spokesman Dan Drutz said.

Stein said it cost about $400,000 to run the football program. The money will now be used to enhance the other 19 sports the college sponsors.

Yeah baby... Yeah.

[PBR...]

that stinkx for players, coaches, fans, parents of players etc....difficult only having 2 days where u can schedule games though

[Pat Coleman]

I believe AP has St. John's listed incorrectly there. St. John's NY dropped football, it didn't leave the MAAC.
