Something like that, there was never enough coverage of him by ESPN for me to remember.

Before the wild card when the Giants won 102 games and missed the playoffs by one game because the braves were in the NL west and they won 103 games. BOGUS! Go Chipper!

I was on hand for the walk of he hit against your boys. Chipper is still incredible, I'm a huge fan of any guy who can still dominate a league after 15 years in the bigs. Michael, Bruce is a phenom.

He beat my Braves single-handedly last weekend. How dare someone steal the spotlight from Chipper, who's having an amazing season so far.

I'll tell you what though, the Rangers are a team that could've used both Ortmeyer and Holik last year, they made a mistake in letting those guys go. In bigger news, we're halfway to the dream scenario Inferno and I both want. Torts was fired today by TB, and now the Rangers really need to make a serious run at this guy in my opinion. He'd instantly be loved by the fans in NY because of his fiery, passionate demeanor, and let's face it, this guy is a better, more proven coach than Renney and has won a Cup.

Apparently the Rangers were withholding the money from Ortmeyer and Holik because they claimed the players agents verbally waived the players rights to signing bonuses if a lockout occured. Obviously this defense didn't hold up. Also, the team refused to pay a bonus of Darius Kasparaitis, but that was settled out of court.

Again, this could be totally wrong here, and im going strictly off of memory, but i believe the Rangers tried to get out from paying Lindros his bonuses because of some technicality, and in order to not let lindros just point to these 2 guys and say, hey they were due money and they got it, the rangers withheld the money from both of them as well. again, let me say this a third time, this could be totally wrong. anyone who wants to do the research and let me know would be very much appreciated. i could be totally wrong here, but i believe this had more to do with Eric Lindros than those 2 players.
