Deborah Gibson gave up a long homer to Otis Nixon and said:
 DG> and Klesko out of the outfield is an improvement.. Mind you, I think
 DG> Klesko out of the lineup is better (let's face it, whiffs too much,
That comes with the territory.
 DG> can't even come close to hitting lefties,
Give him more chances.
 DG>  weak defensively,
Not for a first baseman.
 DG> Chemistry is one of the many things that will likely keep the Dodgers
 DG> from making a major run for a while..
No it won't. UNPROFESSIONALISM will but not chemistry. The Big Red Machine 
managed to win a couple of series despite the fact that there was some real 
hatred among several of the players (that still shows today) and the same 
thing can be said of the Oakland As of that same era. If the Dodgers can't 
let go of their problems once they cross the white lines then they have no 
place in MLB and explains why they're always the "preseason" champions (They 
can't even win their own division when they're favored).
 DG> The Bulls? Ugh UGH UGH!! I still can't help but to consider the Bulls
 DG> one player and 11 supporting cast members (and I know this one player
And you'd be wrong again. Without Rodman, Pippen (and at one time, Horace 
Grant), Michael Jordan would still be looking for his first ring
 DG> thinks of himself the same way, always has.. After all, REAL team
 DG> players don't ask for more money in one year than the entire salary cap,
Another fallacy. Michael Jordan GAVE AWAY more of his salary just so that the 
Bulls could sign their own and free agents. He could have made 3 times as 
much as he did when he was playing the first time around (Until he signed 
that $25+ mil contract, he was never the highest paid player in the NBA, just 
on his team).
 DG> with a shaved head, 9 Ferraris and too many commercial endorsements.
And more World Championships than this bunch of Dodgers..Gee, let's see 
that's 5 championships for the Bulls -- 6 for the Dodgers (including 
Brooklyn) and the Bulls haven't been around for as long.
 DG> puzzle is definately there.. But these missing pieces: Left-handed
 DG> starter, left-handed slugger, center field and leadoff (what else is
These ARE problems not some so-called chemistry.
