    "I have trouble playing the Tuba, Can anyone help me?"

    Bonus Question: Mariano Rivera. No questions asked.

    Papelbon isn't even best right now. He blew 5 saves last year. Great job.

    Ridiculous Question:

    "So you're a baseball fan. What's the best recipe for blueberry muffins?"

    Baseball Question:

    Mariano Rivera - no questions asked. A guy that delivers in the regular season and is near flawless in post-season. What more could you ask for?

    i attempt to respond to the question nicely adequate to get a superb answer a great variety of the time. i will answer some ridiculous questions with a sarcastic remark that i understand is stable for in common terms the two factors. If that's a query with regard to the Royals, i will pass all out and write paragraph after paragraph.

    In 1966 Phil Reagan played for the Dodgers. He had a 14-1 record (.933 winning percentage), I remember that season... He was the most dominant reliever in baseball that year. The rest of his career was mediocre at best, but for that one shining moment...he sparkled. No one was tougher to hit that year than Reagan. All time? Check this out:

    I had forgotten about some of these guys..

    Keep your hope up, spring training starts soon. Mariano Rivera is the best closer of all time. The save rule should be changed to make it a more realistic stat.

  • Since someone already about Tuba and Cubes, I'd say this one

    "I'm 16 yrs old and I throw 45 MPH, how good am I?"

    Well since most of the kids are lying if they throw 85 MPH. this one is too honest.

    Baseball Question - Mariano Rivera and no one else comes close (coming from a Red Sox fan)

    Mine was a from a lady that I accused of being a bandwaggonner because she said that the Cubes were her favorite team twice in her post. The Cubes.

    "How many games are the Cubes going to win this year? Are the Cubes going to the World Series?" It was great.

    The most annoying questions are the one's that insist on spelling McGwire either Maguire or McGuire...It just really bugs me.

    The most ridiculous questions are from the kids who are obviously lying when they tell us how good they are and ask if they can make the majors.

    Most ridiculous: Who is the better hustle player? Eric Byrnes or Miguel Cabrera? Ridiculous because of course Byrnes hustles more, but at least give him some competition in the question.

    Best closer? Mariano Rivera.

    Oh, yes, like the guy a minute ago asking us to name the opening day lineups for 3 teams...like I really have time to write down all the names.

    Wouldn't you just look at the roster?

    Or the kid who sat out baseball since Junior High...but wants to know if he can make varsity or not.

    "Why be baseball such a girl game? ?"

    Dennis Eckersly hands down

    He set the standard for the closer, he is THE Guy that all closers look at
