    Why does nobody want Soriano???? Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

    I'm not going to believe him purely because he used "sez"

    Fine. It's not pure speculation. It's a report that is speculating from sources. Oh, and I could care less what side its on. It was "confirmed" by reports from sources yesterday. I think we all learned we shouldn't jump the gun right now. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

    The Rosenthal report doesn't sound like pure speculation at all. He didn't just pull something out of his ass and report it as sourced information. What does "at least right now" even mean? Maybe he's stalling for another 24-hours to try and leverage the Braves into an extension. This certainly does not sound like rock-solid information in my opinon.

    Rosenthal gave himself a huge out by saying "at least not right now". Sounds like a lot of speculation in my opinon.

    How did LaHair single on a pop-up to the third baseman??? Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

    I umpired LL when I was 18 for like 3 weeks and ended up quitting because both the coaches and parents were horrible. Hated it. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

    Prediction: Dempster will strike out the side in the first in dominating fashion and traded before the Cubs bat in the second. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

    Alcohol would be drank either way for me. It's Friday for goodness sakes. I feel a LAST minute deal before the game for Demps. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

    FWIW, I heard on ESPN radio that Hamels is currently off the market as they try to extend him. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

    If that's all it takes to get Hanley Ramirez, the Cubs need to jump in immediately. Seriously. They have more than enough cash to pay him and if the rumors are true (looking for a 3rd base prospect), then they obviously aren't sold that Vitters is the answer.

    I know it's politically fashionable to let someone else pay for everything, but is an industry that prices out its users (i.e., the fans) really sustainable? Salaries went down in the early 1930s. It is hard to imagine, but absent hyperinflation it will happen again. The vast majority of fans watch their team on TV, which is really inexpensive to do and the source of most of the revenue. Completely random thought: I wonder how the MLB.tv revenue is handled? It's popular and expanding (XBox, PS3, Blu-Ray, etc) - is there a portion that goes directly to team's revenues? Is it evenly distributed? This may be a completely ridiculous question, I just have no idea how any of those things could or may work. ETA: Since they are essentially just "re-broadcasting" a TV provider's feed, do they monitor this and pay them accordingly? I wonder if it is a pre-determined flat fee or if it varies by the number of game views?

    for LLF, maybe.

    Why, 0-0, of course !! :wink: Congrats on passing 57K posts tonight, Fred! Your services, albeit sometimes overlooked, are always appreciated.

    It was actually Barney with the error. Starlin has the night off.

    Thanks for the scouting info, Raisin!

    this Maybe, but that doesn't mean the point isn't valid. I think there's a pretty good chance that the first half of this year will prove to have been the high point of LaHair's career. He was being sarcastic about ordering 3 LaHair jerseys. Nothing to do with his production.

    amen http://www.sixstarpronutrition.com/athletes/giancarlostanton/images/ath_mstanton_lead.png Take that Magic Mike stuff elsewhere

    Oooh, yeah, I'm not sure if I would have made it. I was only 5, but I remember it clearly because that's when my dad basically decided to make me a Cubs fan. With how the team was doing he started getting me baseball cards and going over the box scores in the paper and we'd watch tapes of the games sent to us (we lived in Panama at the time). I just went all in because of how passionate my dad was over it and remember being so heartbroken when I saw how much it destroyed him with how it ended. Were you really heart-broken when a sports team lost as a 5-year-old? I think I was only heartbroken when I finished eating all the play-do #fat youth I guess I can understand if it upset your Dad that much, though. Still not sure I would totally comprehend everything. Maybe I was just on the spectrum.

    I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Still, congrats to LaHair. I have a strange feeling that he actually does pretty well in the ASG.

    Braves fan's - for the most part - are horrible from my experience. I guess the same could be true for any fanbase, but 90% I came across my last time in Atlanta were completely obnoxious. I did meet a cool old braves fan at the bar across the street before the game who give us tickets to the "755 club" (which was nice). That is, until I actually went and then realized it was just a place full of more obnoxioius braves fan who felt the need to bring up Bartman and 1908 every other minute...

    You are treating him like two different players. He is one. A player. Every player has hot and cold streaks, but Alfonso's are just a little more extreme. That doesn't make him any less of a productive baseball player. To take out his hot streak is just as pointless as to take out his cold streak. I'd imagine any GM trading for him would think the same way. What I'd also like to image (or hope - especially for an AL GM) is that Soriano has been putting up good numbers for quite some time and will/or could continue. The man still has the ability to hit. Will it last? Who knows? But, his value won't be higher than it is now. Trade him before the deadline and cut ties for the best deal you can. I have ZERO doubt this is what will happen.
