  1. Eric Says:

    Wow, retirement is pretty boring huh? This bracket thing is a waste of time. I do like to hear your opinions about the SOX though. And I especially like when you rip on CHB. Did you happen to read his recent article about Tom Brady…’Man about town’? He’s such a tool.

  2. Herb Suydan Says:

    Hey curt these are the best that I can see so far. keep it comming.

  3. Eric B Says:

    Dang, those are some good looking brackets.

  4. PhilM Says:

    Hey, Meat, no Bob Lemon? And Billy Pierce gets no love: I consider him equivalent to Don Drysdale, but without the famous teammate.

  5. Dukefrukem Says:

    David Cone people!!!!!!!!

  6. Bob David Says:

    Hi Curt

    How the hell can you not have Whitey Ford in the brackets.

  7. Scott Says:

    Like the concept. I don’t know how this “Andy Pettite” guy got a 12 seed. I do know that Andy Pettitte was/is a pretty good pitcher.

  8. Matt Says:

    Wow…Roger Clemens beat Dave Stewart? That’s a first.

  9. Andy Says:

    sucks that you’re up against randy johnson in the third round, would have liked to see you go farther in the bracket

  10. Chad Says:

    Yeah, that’s true. You say “post-WWII era”, but a lot of the guys from right after the war–late 40s and 50s–are getting the shaft.

  11. Jerry Says:

    are we gonna get an update here anytime soon?

  12. Frank Says:

    Was this idea just scrapped? I have been checking for an update and we have not seen anything for almost 3 months.
