And it's stuff like this is one of the reason why this sorry franchise haven't won jack since 98 freaking years! IDIOTS! He pitched 2 innings last night. It's likely he'll get a pair of starts at Triple-A, and hopefully come back up and take Wade Miller's spot in the rotation. Don't hurt yourself knee-jerking.
I predict tomorrow's outfield will look very much like tonight's, Floyd-Jones-Murton left to right. I would enjoy seeing Izturis sit for a day and Theriot playing shortstop and leading off with Soriano nursing the hammy, but I'm less sure that'll happen.
I'm not arguing that versatility is Murton's best chance of getting into the lineup with more consistency, I'm just concerned we're going to see lost fly ball after lost fly ball on a chilly, breezy evening.
Ooh, try this one -- "Hey blue, you're missing a good game" -- it kills every time. I save my best wit for the baseball games at school here. You could write a book, I tells ya. :)
Supposedly, Maddux is a real funny guy in the showers and enjoys urinating upon the legs of unsuspecting rookies. "Maddux? For a guy with a CPA's demeanor, he has a sense of humor that a 12-year-old would envy. Maddux is a master of strategically timed nose picking, sidling up to an unsuspecting rookie in the shower and urinating on the kid's leg, and inventing just the right nickname for a teammate with big ears, a prominent schnozz or some other pronounced physical qualities." http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/spring2007/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=2784095
At least every team will have 1 representative, either a player or the manager, the Cards, Dodgers and Pirates will have their entire rosters wearing the number, and the Cubs have Lee, Floyd, Jones and Ward set to participate.
