Hey look, soccer's on!

Gotta ride the hot hands, dude.

Gee Jim, I thought you wanted guys who knew how to catch the ball.

The sad thing is, with how weak the NL Central and NL in general is right now, the Astros could very well make the playoffs...with a .500 record.

Geez. The sheer level of concentration, timing, and luck needed to make that shot was just unreal. That was indeed a once in a lifetime shot for Rodriguez. Damn.

Anyone else think Mexico's regretting that own goal right now? Heck of a shot.

Overtime!

Reunite Dusty with one of his "boys"? BRILLIANT!

Was the guy who scored that offsides? It was hard to tell.

Please. No way would the CWS been able to hit Mulder's 87 MPH fast balls w\o cheating. You owe TLR apology. It's posts like these that make me wish you were a Cub fan. ;)

To Podsednik nonetheless. :shock:

I'm 99% sure that was on the road. Correct you are sir.

The next in the line of position players getting a tryout at pitcher down in Mesa? 2B Pedro Lopez! And yes, for those of you John Wayne fans out there, the Royals have a pitcher named McLintock(!) in their system.

Former OF Alberto Albuquerque started the game for Mesa, going an inning and giving up a run on two hits and two walks. 19 year old Marco Carrillo is now pitching in relief, going four scoreless. Mesa and the Royals are tied at 1 going into the 6th.

Eh, it wouldn't hurt to see what happens if he is the interim manager. Maybe he ends up being respected in the clubhouse, puts together good lineups, and knows what he's doing with the bullpen. If he comes aboard as the interim manager and the team does well, it wouldn't hurt to at least interview him again and give him some thought. If he's just as clueless as Baker, he can be discarded rather easily at the end of the season.

Randy Brown was drafted in the 33rd round by the Cubs in 04. he was taken as an OF but has converted into a P now. I was wondering if that was him. However, I figured he was in the OF. Should be interesting to see how this turns out.

Draftniks will be happy to know that 2006 9th rounder Cliff Andersen has been signed, as he saw some playing time in Mesa today. Also, I have no clue who the guy who blew the save for Mesa is.

When people talk about an arm they usually refer to strength.His arm is strong but his accuaracy is awful.His release point is screwed up. Thats why he throws 7 hoppers to the cutoff man from time to time.Or,launches throws 10 feet over someones head. His routes to the ball are poor. And don't forget his baserunning which is awful. I don't care if he hits 30-35 homers. He is a poor fundamental ballplayer. He fits in well here. It's like Moises Alou all over again.

This team has done a very good job of answering those kinds of questions affirmatively.

Oddly enough, Samardzija is listed on Boise's roster on the MiLB.com website.
