Wow, retirement is pretty boring huh? This bracket thing is a waste of time. I do like to hear your opinions about the SOX though. And I especially like when you rip on CHB. Did you happen to read his recent article about Tom Brady…’Man about town’? He’s such a tool.
Hey curt these are the best that I can see so far. keep it comming.
Dang, those are some good looking brackets.
Hey, Meat, no Bob Lemon? And Billy Pierce gets no love: I consider him equivalent to Don Drysdale, but without the famous teammate.
David Cone people!!!!!!!!
Hi Curt
How the hell can you not have Whitey Ford in the brackets.
Like the concept. I don’t know how this “Andy Pettite” guy got a 12 seed. I do know that Andy Pettitte was/is a pretty good pitcher.
Wow…Roger Clemens beat Dave Stewart? That’s a first.
sucks that you’re up against randy johnson in the third round, would have liked to see you go farther in the bracket
Yeah, that’s true. You say “post-WWII era”, but a lot of the guys from right after the war–late 40s and 50s–are getting the shaft.
are we gonna get an update here anytime soon?
Was this idea just scrapped? I have been checking for an update and we have not seen anything for almost 3 months.
