      - anyone who doesn't vote for Mariano is a total maroon. -- nm - TFox Jun 2, 08:32
      - he throws two pitches. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:32 5

        it wasnt a knock on him, its part of his longevity - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:38 1
        
        the fact that EVERYONE knows what is coming, and still can not make solid contact - groiny Jun 2, 08:43
        
        technically, yes, but he has survived for 20 years with one pitch. - groiny Jun 2, 08:34 1
        
        true. and agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:35
  - Joe Posnanski had an article on this yesterday - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:25 1

- Jenbro gets revenge for all the fox/hen disses -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 08:12 2

        that's the line. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 2, 08:32 2
        
        the actual line is even funnier than my misquoted garbled version - Roger More Jun 2, 08:33 1

- Welcome to the flip side of fame young McCreery. Your every move... -- nm - bc/nc Jun 2, 08:15 3
  - Doubt it was even his decision. Can you imagine the number of producers and handler he has? - ty97 Jun 2, 08:17 2
    - Very probable, but he will be witness to the fallout possibly not of his own doing as you say. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 2, 08:18

  - Still can't believe he won. I stopped when they got to the final 12 or whatever and he was clearly a 1 trick pony. - Jim Jun 2, 08:18 2
    - I don't know when American Idol became a show to pick country singers. Both of the final 2? And even the 3rd place person was country-ish. -- nm - pmb Jun 2, 08:43
