    Jenks, Aardsma and Sisco are not free agents. I think Sisco's the only one who'll even be arb-eligible. I'm not sure what Iguchi's status is, as I believe he was signed as a FA from Japan, and I don't know if things differ for players signed as FAs compared to those posted. I'm sure 1908 would know.

    I don't think so. Pie was running towards 3rd, and he has not touched 3rd base when the interference occured. When it occured, the ball immediately becomes dead, and the runner stays at whichever base they are near by, I believe. By the time the interference occured, IIRC, Pie haven't touched 3rd yet. Of course, I could be wrong, but that's what I'd be guessing on how it was played out. I always understood it as obstruction awards you the base you are heading to. As the obstruction by Uribe happened after Pagan touched 2nd, he should be awarded 3rd, since he's awarded 3rd, Pie has to go home. As has been stated by others, Pie had not yet touched third, so it was probably ruled upon that Pagan can't advance to third since it was not yet occupied by the runner in front of him. Anyhow, I appreciated the fact the umpires huddled for as long as they did before making a ruling on the play. Four guys hashing out the rules are more likely to get it right. Good point on Pie, I hadn't thought abou that. I would guess that winds up being a judgment call on what the ump is supposed to do there. And I agree kudos to the umps on making sure they got it right. I was impressed, especially considering CB Bucknor and Joe West were 2 of the umps. I don't think Guillen really needed to be tossed, but it's quite likely he was saying the magic words over and over again.

    I forgot how close that got at the end. If I was as jaded as I am now back then I would've been expecting us to lose, back then I knew they were going to win throughout the whole inning.

    What does he think he is a school teacher?

    They target players you loathe?? I understand loathing Edmonds on a personal level, but how can you loathe his skillset?

    They're probably all south siders. It's what makes beautiful people like me so unique around here.

    I love the language differences between england and here in the states. I was so confused the first time an english person told me they "went out and got pissed" and acted like it was awesome. That doesn't sound pleasant at all :lol: LOL..thats awsome..whats it mean? getting drunk Oh ok..thats like going over there and saying " I went out and got hammered!" Theyd prolly look at you and be like " Did it hurt"? Or I got s***faced. Not the most appealing things.

    Len and Bob on Comcast Sports Net if you get it. And speaking of something being overrun. The best damn sports show's 50 best plays are shown at least once a day.

    And Justin Long's a tool.

    I can't focus on anything during a rain delay.

    Maybe I'm being overly critical...but that is a hideous tarp.

    I really hope this game starts on timeish. Cause I can only watch Celebrity Fit Club so many times.

    I'm no Jacque apologist and certainly want him gone, but honestly what is he supposed to say? I'm happy to be a 5th OFer? Jacque took a lot of undeserved flak last year when he was one of the few guys on the team who could actually hit the ball, and now he's taking some undeserved flak for not being satisfied with being a 5th OF.

    It's done wonders for the Braves. If you have good instruction and coaching to develop players, that's a good idea. I don't think the Braves emphasis the "Athlete" over "Baseball Skills" quite like the Cubs do. "Toolsy" does not mean the player doesn't have "baseball skills." You have to have a player who can convert his tools into production on the field and who can learn from coaching. I don't blame Kenny Williams for being upset after taking Broadway and McCulloch in back-to-back years in the first round. How can you pass on a name like Lance Broadway?

    I'm sure it's not anywhere close to done, there's a lot of dopes controlling the price of agriculture in this country. If Griffey were to come, he should never touch CF. He can't hack it anymore.

    I think I'll trust Greg Maddux when it comes to defense for catchers.

    And what you dont realize is that is your opinion, and not a fact. Oh my pot and kettle!!!

    Be careful. His six kids with five different women seem to indicate he doesn't like to play safe. Well you can bat him cleanup even with our present rotating #5 spot of nobodies. Cause he doesn't need protection. Eh??? EH????

    Ugh are you serious? Wow, I bought all the crap he was selling too. knick knacks?
