He is? Certainly spoke it well enough to do hundreds of interviews about hitting HRs with Big Mac in 1998. I have the "Home Run Chase" VHS at home if you want me to send it to you. Big difference between some relatively inconsequential interviews with sports media and speaking in front of government officials in the situation he was in. I speak Spanish very fluently, far better than Sammy speaks English, and even I'd feel extremely uncomfortable put into a similar situation in a Spanish speaking country. I always got the impression that he'd always have problems speaking and understanding English whenever he was in front of hostile reporters and members of Congress. It seemed really convenient, you know? When he had people who were tossing him softballs, he'd speak English as well as anyone. But once the tides turned, suddenly he couldn't understand or speak it. Granted, it's a very good way to make sure you don't misspeak. However, on the other hand, it can make someone come off as being very evasive.

42 at bats at AA: .310/.348/.500/.848, 3 BB, 7 K. Surprisingly not bad. It's the old "either he hits with few walks or he walks with few hits" song and dance all over again, though. I really wish he could find a happy medium between the two ends of the spectrum. Those Jacque Jones comparisons keep looking better and better as the days go on, though.

Time for groundless projections on who'll be in Boise and Mesa! Names I'm expecting to see in Boise: RHP Larry Suarez RHP Jon Nagle LHP Jeff Antigua RHP Tarlandas Mitchell 2B/SS Logan Watkins OF Jae Hoon Ha OF Sean Williams 1B/OF Chris Weimer 1B Sean Hoorelbeke 2B/SS Dwayne Kemp I'm thinking that we'll see a lot of draftees initially start out in Mesa before moving up to Boise. We might see Matt Cerda and Hak Ju Lee in Boise, although I think Cerda is going to stay in Mesa to work on catching and that Lee is going to stay down in Mesa for the time being to catch up on his development after recovering from Tommy John.

rerish noooooooooooo

Toss the Badgers' 2006 Men's Hockey NCAA Championship onto the list and you've got mine.

have there been any reports about huseby's stuff as a reliever? I saw him earlier in the season and wasn't that impressed. His FB sat in the upper 80s (touched 90/91 on a few occasions) and he had a decent breaking pitch (looked like a curveball from the break). Granted, when I saw him, it was when the weather was cold and early in the season. He might have improved since then for all I know. I plan on catching a game some time this week (possibly tomorrow for the Quad Cities double header, but it depends on the weather and a few other things), so if I see him, I'll post some updated impressions.

The NL Central is just sad this year.

We needed that.

Soto taking second was a nice touch, too.

Fake rally?

Ten cent head.

Knock it off ! C'mon Fred it would be for the betterment of the team. Regardless of Miles' talent level, wishing death on a player is in really bad taste.

Someone beat that kid within an inch of his life.

My 15 year old can play second base better than Miles can,but he would struggle with the hitting part. :-)) I doubt he'd be much worse than Miles at the plate.

I would have been upset if Fukudome collided with anyone. However, the other two...not so much so.

Just release him for God's sake. He's not going to get any better and we have like eight billion guys in the farm system who can play 2B and hit better than him.

You freaking incompetent midget.

That looks like a fantastic spread.

Oppo sacco.
