if it makes you feel any better, they interviewed Dusty during the game and he said that Ronny was not competing for a starting spot and that he hadn't been competing for a spot all spring. Ronny will be starting at SS. Dusty said it yesterday quite definitively.

hahahhahahaha! You don't like the extra reserves when it works against you huh? :D

awful awful game tonight. I hate when the refs blow the whistle every 10 seconds for 35 minutes and then swallow them. ridiculous officiating, sloppy sloppy play and a 1 seed having to play a roadgame.

What the word out of Chicago? Does Pagan have a chance of replacing Grissom off the bench? I think the word was grissom gets the spot because he is old. -

its friday night. people are out. -
I heard the trade will be three-way - Choi to Oakland, Cruz to Baltimore, and Corey to LA. Oh wait, choi is at boston now . . . well, they could use another OF.

You are saying Selig influenced a judge? I find that highly unlikely.

I hope people don't say Gonzaga can't go deep in the tourney because of last night's loss. I think they can beat anyone in the country if they had the chance. They have (had) as much talent as most of the country, they have great coaching (for the next week til Few comes East to Bloomington). I think they were quite overrated. They barely beat a lot of very mediocre teams all year. Morrison carried them but I don't think they were remotely a great team.

I was impressed the Gonzaga players had the class to walk off applauding UCLA instead of hanging their heads. What a great finish to the night!

vomit. baseball is not a major college sport.

So, I have to take a dump yesterday.......

wow, you are too kind. I would have got on and stood right next to her. I would also be using that 4th floor bathroom every chance I get. -
you have to wonder how much UCLA has left in the tank after that game. I actually felt sorry for Morrison - boy does he push off a lot though. I don't think UCLA will beat Memphis. I figured they would have tough matchup (with IU actually). They played an exhausting game, and played late. It's not gonna be easy to get up for a great Memphis team, despite the location. Memphis already beat them too. Last night was by far the best night of the tourney so far!

Sammy's HR totals from 1993-2003 93 33 94 25 95 36 96 40 97 36 98 66 (McGuire chase, Maris and Mantle had a similar chase in 61 with each having career years in HRs) 99 63 00 50 01 64 02 49 03 40 To me that looks like a typical career arc for a power hitter. 2001 actually markes the down slope of that arc. Didn't he get injured in 1996 and 1997 as well? I believe he was on or close to 50 pace both those years. Sammy's biggest jump was learning the strike zone in my opinion. I still believe there is a pretty good chance he took something but lets not pretend he went from Juan Pierre to 66 homeruns in 1998. Also interesting is that he started off very slowly in 1998 in home runs but was hitting .300+. To me that indicates the improved command of the zone much more than steroids.

looks just like it! Baseball diamond with outfield grass and surrounded by stands! -
You might be right. Then again, Grissom is getting old...fast. He had a huge drop-off last season and that is his most recent performance. It is possible that he will bounce back, absolutely. But most trends continue in the same direction as a player nears 40. Grissom will be 39 in a month. Pagan is 24 and may continue to improve over the next couple of years. Many players don't reach their peak performance years until they turn 27 or 28 (Derrek Lee). Pagan may also not improve, but he has more speed now than does Grissom, will be a superior late-inning defensive replacement, he put up a better OBP last year at AAA than Grissom averaged over the course of his career, and he isn't coming off of a hugely disappointing season last year. That said, I still think Restovich makes the most sense, at this point. Pagan would be a good guy to have in AAA in case Hairston goes down with an injury. You make some good points - keep in mind I'm no fan of grissom. Players peak at 27 but that doesn't mean they are on a linear growth curve until then. the improvement from 24 to 27 is likely to be far smaller than from 21 to 24.

what makes you think he'll suddenly hit for power? its not like he is slugging .450 with a ton of doubles. I don't think a lot of players suddenly gain power at 24 or 25 unless they get hooked up.
-
choosing pagan makes even less sense than grissom.
-
What everybody except idiot stubborn Giants fans already know. That he roided up to achieve what he has since 1999. yea, basically he doesn't want a trial over whether he did or didn't do 'roids - just wants to keep people from publishing stuff.

but not for libel, to stop them from profiting from illegally obtained grand jury testimony. So, what does that tell you? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2381381

Right, because he didn't have 3 fouls with 19:30 left in the game and 4 fouls most of the last 10 minutes well seicne they have switched over from brad/memphis he has committed 4 fouls that ive seen. if only they were as eager to call that last foul on him as the first 4 or they could have called the fifth on shelden williams.
