Outshined_One

He's pitching in the PCL All Star Game, so his outing was shortened.

Lipstick on a pig is indeed the right way to put it.

Just leave him on the field.

Also worth mentioning, the goal kick that should have been a corner kick. Dutch got screwed. Ouch.

He wasn't offside on the shot, but there was a definite offside prior to that.

Holland refers to a region in the Netherlands. It'd be like calling the United States "the Midwest".

Villa subbed out for Torres? Alright then.

Iniesta, one of the Spanish players.

John Manuel's Midseason Prospects Chat

The other three players are reportedly RHP Blake Beavan, RHP Josh Lueke, and 2B Matt Lawson. Mariners got a really good deal for Lee.

Josh Vitters was on the not-so-hot sheet this week.

Brett Jackson is the only Cub in BA's midseason Top 50.

Yankees are reportedly closing in on Lee.

it would be soooo obnoxious, but i'd love it. quality entertainment Why not just turn it into The Bachelor? They could get a bunch of NBA GMs living together in a mansion with eliminations happening every week. The GMs could get camera time, go through various challenges, and make impassioned pleas to LeBron. Current and former NBA stars could make cameos to help LeBron decide. Hell, I'd watch that.

All in one pitch? Think Bugs Bunny.

I'm hoping LeBron narrows it down to two teams with 10 seconds to go, followed by music playing, the scene fading to black, and a "To Be Continued" graphic popping up.
