Outshined_One

That was horrible.

I see Ramirez is taking lessons from Jim Edmonds on making complicated basket catches when they're unnecessary.

I got 3-1 odds for Jon Lieber coming in as a reliever in the 4th.

Rammy swung at a bad pitch, though. If he laid off that, we'd have runners at 1st and 2nd with one out.

Penny hasn't thrown a pitch anywhere near the zone since getting hit.

I see Derrek Lee has taken over Theriot's position of hitting the pitcher on a comebacker.

I'll take that.

Nice shades, Gammons.

Alfunso Soriano?

Considering he's currently not on their 40 man roster, yes.

I know you're looking for an excuse to be bitter, but Wieters can't be traded until August 15th, well past the trade deadline.

Stephen Drew and Jered Weaver both waited nearly a year before signing with the Diamondbacks and Angels back when they were drafted. I don't think it's hurt either so far.

When you were just in trouble for a similar occurrence and you have been warned by the Bears to quit it, it should be shocking. actually he got in trouble because some guys who barely graduated hs in texas decided to try to bully a rich black man http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5852/813image03hy9.jpg A rich successful black man is on the loose? It's time to frame the SOB for DWI...

What, no comments about the D-Cubs getting to Porcello?

This year's crop of draftees aside (considering we don't know who will sign), who do you folks figure we can expect to be on Boise's roster when their season starts on June 17th?

Lansford hasn't been anything special at 3B. Also, in the alternative, bumping Tony Thomas up to Tennessee wouldn't be a bad idea.

Like movies involving stuff like the ark of the covenant melting Nazi faces, magic rocks that can be used to control the world, and a 900 year old knight guarding the holy grail makes less sense?

He's had a few 100+ pitch outings lately and he wasn't flashing his best stuff tonight. It's a good move.

Everyone is going to have glowing reviews of this umpiring crew after the series is over.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
