    Wait, did Koyie even tag him?

    YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE FUKUCANNON

    That was strike 3, you joke of an umpire.

    Royals converting him to a pitcher. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-royals-pena&prov=ap&type=lgns

    That was a heck of a 4-game series up in Milwaukee. To be struggling as the team had been and then to head north and sweep like they did against the only competition in the division was just incredible.

    All in the same deal? Attaboy Jim.

    Let's hope that's not a precursor to anything. Good to see Hart with only one BB today.

    Marmol brought the filth to the ballpark today.

    Lee out with the neck spasms again.

    I like that the mere thought of Kosuke's arm keeps Phillips at first in that situation.

    I don't know how feasible it is for you, but any of the Wrigleyville set - Cub World, Clark Street Sports, Wrigleyville Sports - carry Dawson and Maddux stuff in-store and online. Guys like that, who were unilaterally popular enough (in both cases) and still fairly recent as a player (Maddux was a Cub as recently as 2006), aren't hard to find, merchandise-wise. It's guys like Sosa, who were polarizing as a Cub and while departing and who haven't been a Cub for many years but just now retired, that can be difficult.

    The only restriction is the exact combination of the player's name and number. Not that this needs an example, but say your fictional Smith retired wearing the number 1. You'd be able to customize a shirt with the name Smith and any one of the other hundred available numbers (0, 00 and 2-99), you simply wouldn't be able to customize a SMITH 1 shirt. Alternately, if you fudged the name a bit (say, R SMITH), you could then put that on a shirt with no. 1. I know it seems ridiculous, but my guess was always that they were just protecting their rear ends so that no retired player could have a case that they were profiting from his name via jersey image (the exact combination of his name and number). The MLBPA licensing thing is serious business. For the rare player who isn't a member of the player's association (Kevin Millar, for example), that player's name and/or likeness can't be used in any sort of licensed product for this very reason, because the MLBPA doesn't have the catch-all legal permission to use it/them.

    I imagine that first and foremost, it's because retired players are no longer part of the MLBPA and therefore MLB and their licenscees no longer have the license to produce merchandise with their name and number on it and as such, however unlikely such an outcome might be, a retired player could sue Majestic Athletic or whoever for using their name to sell t-shirts. The reverse of this is true as well - when Fukudome came over from Japan, Majestic couldn't start producing FUKUDOME 1 merchandise until Fukudome had officially signed his contract and MLB had it on record that Kosuke was officially part of the MLBPA. To a lesser degree, it's so that for the more prominant retired players (usually the retired number set for any given team), they can premake those t-shirts (SANTO 10, SANDBERG 23, etc.) and sell those instead.

    I see a lot of shallow and infield RBI hits for the Cards + a Lugo home run. Sounds like a typical Cards game.
  21. BCVM22
    Tried it. "SOSA 21" won't go through per the retired players rule.
  22. BCVM22
    They got him into the Cardinals offensive scheme damn fast, eh?
  23. BCVM22
    Sosa's been gone long enough that most retailers have been able to rid themselves of what was, I'm sure, a boatload of leftover t-shirts and merchandise. My advice is to run through the clearance sections of online retailers like Star Struck and MLB.com and the websites of the Wrigleyville stores and see if any of them have a Sosa shirt left in the proverbial back room. Barring that, you could buy him one of those pinstriped ringer t-shirts and then work some fabric marker magic on the back. DIY Sosa t-shirt.

    Oh god we're reacquiring Jason Marquis, aren't we?

    Jays want Kyle Drabek, J.A. Happ and Dominic Brown. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/phillies_zone/Daily_Halliday_update_The_horse_or_the_pony.html
