funny, you think prince would run faster after somehting named pie

TOO FAST FOR YOU FATASS

FUKUDOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So its the first fake rally of the season!

Sadness

I called that HR.

Wow how bad was the booing? Bush is really awkward in the booth...

GOT THEM WMDs http://www.hbo.com/thewire/img/90x94/characters/balt_pd/valcheck.jpg I hear the WMD is "the bomb." Commissioner Valchek. So depressing. Not nearly as depressing as that show being over.

The blues are awesome. I actually missed them.

Lock this please.

No, its not. At all. Maybe a little bit at first, but this is his second freaking book. He's just motivated by money/spite, nothing I see to really trust there. I'm sure some of what he said in the first book may have happened to some degree but its in his best interest to sensationalize, because otherwise he loses that lucrative book deal. At least multiple people admitted their wrong doing when the Mitchell Report hit, he'll never admit he made stuff up, at least, not until he's out of book deals. Ok, what did he make up or sensationalize? Rafael Palmeiro? Tested positive and currently in hiding like a Munich terrorist. Mark McGwire? Pretty sure he used the juice also, as he now looks more like a pock-faced middleweight than the contender for the WWE Intercontinental belt he favored when he was bashing HR's at a record pace. But no, Jose Canseco, is the scumbag here. The only black-eye that baseball has tried to bury because HE was more or less blackballed, blacklisted, whatever from baseball before he got the chance to hit that 500th HR, or add to his impressive Major League totals. MLB didn't want Jose Canseco, and for whatever reason, it looks like the MLBPA turned their back on one of their own. Why? Did he know too much? Did he talk too much? Hmmmmm. Guys like McGwire, Clemens, and the like are the ones kids and fans looked up to and labeled "heroes" of the game, when the reality of the situation is that since the villainous Canseco started tooting his horn, the "preservers of the integrity of the game" have been grilled by Congress and made to at least acknowledge the rampant drug abuse that is MLB. I am jogging my mind to find the testimonies that Canseco ever made that proved to be outright lies, or at least came out that way in the wash. Help me out.... You've listed one person who has been proven to have used steroids. While some others certainly raise eyebrows (Here's lookin' at you Mark), stuff like the ARod mention in the second book is just sad (as if its any surprise he listed the most recognized player in the game). The dudes simply milking whatever knowledge he had for cash and yet he's the victim here? You're acting like he's some exiled whistle blower, he wasn't giving people up out of some sense of morals, he literally sold them out. I'm pretty sure selling out 'coworkers', guilty or not is a fantastic way to earn a blacklisting. I'd never take anything he says, especially in one of his books, at face value. The guy is just filling pages to make some cash while he still can, even if its making something up.

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7949132/Sources:-Roberts-to-Cubs-looking-unlikely Way to waste 3 months on Roberts and leave us stuck with a top of the order of Theriot/Soriano, Jimbo. the only reason we're stuck with theriot/soriano is because lou piniella is dumb enough to hit theriot at leadoff. And because Hendry decided not to try and upgrade the shortstop position. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand because Lou Piniella decided to bat Theriot leadoff....

Didn't Bruce say a while ago this wasn't going to happen?

Why aren't you locking this damned thread!

While I think its a bit much, I can understand why. He earned the right to be pissed off with his play last year in my eyes. Besides, anyone would start to lose it if they spent the last 3 months wondering' if they're going to lose their job.

fantastic hahahahahahahaha

Tim Kurukijianjdsaninwwhfij on ESPN just said it was gonna be Fuku 2nd and Sori 3rd

I thought this was a joke until I saw the link. Seriously.

flawless victory

Who is peoriaman again? Feel free to PM me if its that kinda thing.

Normally I hate speculation threads but this has really had me wondering. It would appear Lieber and Dempster are going to get the 4th and 5th spots of the rotation which (thankfully I guess) leaves Marquis out in the cold. This means he's either bullpen bound or traded. Where could we realistically send him?

Good for them. No way MLB doesn't give in on this one though. This would be a PR disaster for them in Japan and the US. Theres tons of money at stake here, no way Selig stands tough.
