What makes you think R A Dickey will have his number retired????? One year doesnt make you a hall of famer, it makes you a flash in the pan. The guy couldnt get ANYBODY out before this year. All that said he does probably deserve to start the All Star Game based on his numbers this year.:whist:I saw this post on a different message board and it sums up how i feel about the issue:
"The problem is that Tony LaRussa is clueless as to how much R.A. Dickey means to New York and its storied sports history.
Dickey is almost universally loved, even in a more widespead way than Derek Jeter. R.A. simply transcends sports as more of an icon than a sports hero.
Young kids from Brooklyn & Queens will be telling their grandchildren how they were priviliged to get to see R.A. Dickey pitch with his beautiful dancing knuckleball.
When his #43 is retired next season (at the latest), Dickey's long resume will be soiled because of this snub.
And for Mr. Ego LaRussa to ruin New York sports history by forcing Dickey to pitch in the 3rd or 4th inning of the 2012 All-Star Game instead of the first is the biggest outrage since the 1919 Blacksox scandal..."

Oh great Glennbo, do not send your hit team after me...but I'm good with Fielder.Prince Fielder wins the home run derby. Wish he'd hit more for my Tigers when it counts!
Now if they could only beat the Tribe:devious::clown::nuts:Tigers in first place!
After "de-feeting" the Bleached Hosery we move into first, hopefully to stay.
Way to jinx the Tribe there Roger. Nice work!Now if they could only beat the Tribe:devious::clown::nuts:
Peace
Roger
Masterson beat him earlier in the year.Way to jinx the Tribe there Roger. Nice work!
And of course Verlander is going tonight for the Motor City Kitties...
Doubt they'll get that off Verlander though...Masterson beat him earlier in the year.
Tribe is due for a 7 or 8- run game.
