    I'd rather put a young player in a pressure situation where he actually plays, rather than the pressure situation of "hit now or sit", or even worse, the non-pressure situation of not playing.

    It was crystal clear. Barrett started what he couldn't finish. Z was a complete idiot, but nothing would have happened if Barrett wasn't a hot head who made the first physical move. Z was just very quick to respond. It wasn't crystal clear at all. I also watched the video a lot and saw nothing that I would even remotely consider a lunge from Barrett. Barrett's body weight moved toward Zambrano before Zambrano pushed him. It was clear. He may have not been trying to throw the first punch, but he was trying to initiate contact, and got it.

    Haven't you ever gone through the motions on something but your head wasn't really there? Walking to work Monday. I was so hungover I couldn't think straight and thought I was going to stumble into traffic at any time. I needed a half dozen cups of coffee just to look at the computer.

    Sorry, but that last point is not supported by the rest of your complaint. You clearly believe they owe you autographs. Their job is to play baseball. What they owe you and the rest of the fans (and management/ownership) is an honest effort over the course of a their contracts. Somebody complaining about a lack of autograph opportunities gets no sympathy from me, and I suspect many others. No matter how innocent your request may be, you have to realize these guys are constantly swarmed with people trying to profit off their name, groupies, junk dealers, scam artists, business proposals, investments. Fans have gone over the line the last decade or so, and these players are well within their rights to try and ignore the constant hassling before, during and after games.

    You frequent a lot of News Corp message boards?

    they do the same with NFL sunday ticket I'd rather have it automatically renew. Here's how hard it is to cancel: type http://www.directv.com into your browser and click a few times. you're hilarious. you shouldn't have to tell someone you don't want to buy something. what if you're out of town when the letter comes or it gets lost in junk? Check your account status online, it's easy. They give you more than enough time to cancel without charge, in my opinion. MLB.com auto-renewed MLB audio, but the first you hear of it is when you get your credit card statement. Now that sucks.

    As usual, rain is in the forecast for Pittsburgh, with scattered t-storms this evening. Although accuweather has a more favorable forecast than weather.com.

    They have boobs at Hooters?! Not to mention bad food and a 15% chance you'll taste aqua-net in the air. I've been to a handful of Hooters in my life, and most recently I found the ladies to be the most attractive and physicall fit I'd seen, and the food to be the worst. My mamories were always "good wings, girls that don't belong in those outfits", but this time was opposite.

    This is the same cycle that's been talked about for every young player. He can't get that confidence and learn the approach without playing. But he can't play until he gets the confidence and learns the approach. You can't just let him play a couple games and decide, "nope, he's not confident yet, pull 'em", and then expect him to learn what he needs to learn from the bench. He's got to play nearly everyday for a very long period of time before you can expect him to learn anything and show improvement. A guy like Theriot shows something to Lou right off the bat, and then can't lose his job for anything. Yet Pie struggles early and can't get a chance to improve. There's something wrong with such a system.

It shows up on your bill before the season starts, so you can also cancel then. I can see it being annoying, but I like the auto-renew. And it's not stupid, it's quite smart to charge people and then wait for them to cancel instead of not charging them and wait for them to renew.

    When the Cubs play on WCIU, or whatever weird station that is, and Pittsburgh doesn't broadcast the game, it hasn't been on EI in the past.

    It's just sprinkles. Shea is far too leniant with letting idiots wander around down low. These people usually end up taking an empty seat, then proceed to move all over the place as the people arrive at their seats. By the 2nd inning they've tried 5-6 different areas and then leave, and it disrupts everything, especially the sommelier.

    If the Jets become available, I'll take them, otherwise I guess the Giants.

    No matter how many good to great hitters there are in Detroit's lineup, no hitter is more important to the success of the team then Curtis Granderson. At first I thought this was sarcasm, but then I wasn't sure. Now I'm pretty sure it's not. Then explain why the Tigers are playing like crap against two crappy teams like the Royals and the White Sox, and trailing or lost today? I believe Granderson is more important to that offense, then originally believed. Because it's a handful of games and even the best teams play like crap over stretches of every season.

    I just checked the online guide. This is weird. This morning it was still 640. hmm, so I'm not crazy We don't know that. I don't get it. The other sports networks are all in the same place, as far as I can tell.

    Barrett lunged first and instigated the second instance in the clubhouse.

    Utley takes a pitch in the back to load the bases, then a potential double play throw from Delgado in the back to let 2 runs score.

    Shea looks weird with the new building going up in left center. Pagan legged out an RBI infield single, 2-0 Mets. Mayor Mike and the mayor of Philly are chatting on SNY right now. Detroit/Boston 0-0, Balt/Texas 1-0.

    Well, I hope you are wrong. I remember wondering why it took so long for Lou to bench Theriot last fall. I am not really feeling that Pie lost his job, though. I think the game plan has been to let him hit against RHP, and Reed against LHP. I can live with a temporary platoon until Pie starts hitting his stride, but I am not a fan of the yearlong platoon with him. I just hope he starts hitting soon. It's just a matter of time. I think it's a lot more than a matter of time. There's a very real possibility that he nevers improves enough to warrent a full-time job. My feeling though, is you have to give him the chance to prove himself first.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    He can't hit 3-6 because of strikeouts? Oh, Buster, Buster, Buster.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    I don't know, would you like to discourse it?
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Even though we didn't actually draft him doesn't mean we weren't in the position to do so. If Hendry and his scouting department would have been able to see the possibilities for Hamilton, we wouldn't be playing Felix Pie and Reed freaking Johnson in CF right now. Soriano Fukudome Lee Ramirez Hamilton DeRosa Soto Theriot Am I the only one who does not have a problem with a 75/25 platoon between Pie and Johnson (assuming that's what the platoon averages out to when all is said and done) in CF? I don't have a problem with that, I just doubt that will be the ratio. But I'd take Hamilton over either situation.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    So are you thinking that Lou has found favor with Reed Johnson over Pie? With Soriano and Ramirez relatively cold as ice, I can see him looking for a little more production. I seriously doubt you have anything to worry about concerning Pie's grasp on CF. I think Lou may have decided he's unhappy with a $100+ million go for broke roster breaking in 2 rookies in the lineup. And since he's unlikely to be here a couple years from now, he's got very little interest in helping Pie develop for the future if he feels he can get any sort of marginal current upgrade by Johnson. I'm thinking Lou may have decided that Pie getting most of the PA and Johnson spelling him from time to time is going to be more like Johnson getting at least half the PA and Pie having to hit now or never to increase his playing time. He's shown a quick hook with guys before, and unflinching loyalty to little scrappy dudes as well. Yes, I think Lou has found favor with Reed over Pie. I'm not sure he has, and I'm sure he's could just as easily change his mind even if he has. But, the trend as it stands today, is not good.
