    Good article on Sheffield right now on the front of espn.com about Sheffield and his denial of steroid use. Sorry, don't know how to provide a link.

    Actually, I thought about that but the article said it was being published by permission. Since I didn't have it, I was leery of posting it here. I wouldn't want you to get sued and lose money on this website. :) Which reminds me. You can't get any of our posts on here to pop up in a search engine can you? It just crossed my mind a few times, wondering if any joe out there could do that. I gotta be careful what I post. :MusicBigGrin:

    You can post the article link from ESPN and people will click and read there!!

    Good call on not posting their content. It would be like someone borrowing your equations without permission. Vengeful mathematicians.

    Yeah, most of the forums here are indexed in the search engines. The Green Room is not. I bet if you searched for buckeyes#1, PF.com would come up in the top 3 results! :)

    Roscoe, you're right. They do pop up when you search yahoo. I didn't have the top three but it was the top two.

    Sheffield deal could backfire. Hasn't been productive this spring. Hopefully, he'll get on track. Hate to give up prospects for a 38 year old, injury prone player. Our big outfield could cause his hitting average to fade.........

    I think the next time up, the bat would accidentally slip out of my hands heading towards the pitcher's mound at about 70 miles per hour. Oops. My bad. Sorry. Slippery little guy. I'll have to hold on to it tighter next time.

    or, I would ask my manager to let me finish out playing first base. Then I would ask my pitcher to protect me by hitting the pitcher when he comes up. Oh boy, things could get really exciting at this point. Then I would tell the pitcher, you better pray that there isn't a slow grounder to first base. Or, better yet, tell my pitcher to throw over to first base. I would probably accidentally bobble it to the point where it got behind me; and the pitcher on base was standing between me and my pitcher. :gun1:

    Of course, I guess that can't happen in the American League because the pitchers don't bat.

    So, have we still given up too much to get Shef (if he eventually begins producing like he should)?

    A lot of guys hadn't produced so far. But it is still early, although we are already a month into the season.
