    Lovely.

    Veal's line didn't look all that good. How did he look out there?

    These are gems: May 16 -- A Red Sox front office employee drives struggling third baseman Mike Lowell way out into the country, lets him run around in a field for a few minutes, and then shoots him. May 26 -- With the Braves stuck in the National League East cellar with a league-worst 5.11 staff ERA, pitching coach Roger McDowell begins nervously rocking back and forth. June 25 -- With the Phillies in Boston for an interleague series, Red Sox and Phillies fans get in a huge brawl over who is the most annoying. July 15 -- Tragedy strikes the St. Louis Cardinals when diminutive second baseman David Eckstein drowns in the dugout when two inches of water gathers during a rain delay. July 25 -- Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine square off in a semi-depressing pitching "duel" of former greats in a game between the Cubs and Mets, each giving up six runs in five innings of work before being replaced by a reliever. August 16 -- Boston left fielder Manny Ramirez walks through a door into the Green Monster during a game and, once inside, sees himself on a television walk through the door into the Green Monster due to a five-second broadcast delay. His mind is blown. August 24 -- Before a home game against the Twins, the Orioles honor the career of longtime first baseman Rafael Palmeiro by unveiling a giant No. 25 Palmeiro jersey on the Camden Yards warehouse. It's then lit on fire to the delight of the crowd. August 31 -- Craig Biggio is hit by a pitch in an Astros win over the Brewers, extending his record to 285 for most pitches not gotten out of the way of in major league history. September 3 -- Unable to afford them any longer, the Marlins leave Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera on Bud Selig's doorstep with a note asking the commissioner to find them a good home.

    Fun fact: Ray Liotta is indeed related to Ray Liotta.

    Well, here's the problem Noah has... This is a weak draft year in terms of the overall quality of players. Prior to the tournament, the top prospects were Aldridge, Gay, Morrison, Bargnani, and McRoberts. I don't care how optimistic you are when it comes to these guys' respective ceilings...that is just a weak group. Thanks to the tournament and shifting around of prospects, he has a legitimate shot at going #1 or #2 overall. He's talented enough to get productive minutes in the NBA at this moment in his basketball career. Granted, he could still use some improvement and hasn't reached his ceiling yet, but that's pretty much true of any draftee. If he stays another year, he runs a number of risks. He could get injured. He'll have to contend with a much strong potential draft class, especially with guys like Oden expected to be available. He's basically where Matt Leinart was last season after USC won the Championship...only the Bulls seem to be in a much better position than the 49ers were. Plus Chicago is a much better place than San Fran. He could hang out with his Florida alum buddies Rex Grossman and Ian Scott. :D

    None of the above. Blech.

    All of them ahead of Lou. I'd be happy with McClendon, none of the others though, especially Howe. I would hate to have McClendon on this team. All of my Pirate fan friends hated the guy and he never impressed me in the times I've watched him manage a team.

    Didn't Barrett lead catchers in runners thrown out at one point last year? He might be mediocre behind the dish and at game-calling, but there are definitely worse everyday starters out there even today...
  9. Outshined_One
    Freddy Bynum? Joy.
  10. Outshined_One
    Swing at those first pitches!!!
  11. Outshined_One
    Remind me again why Rusch is in the rotation?
  12. Outshined_One
    Rusch sucks at holding the runners today.
  13. Outshined_One
    A-Ram was the one who fielded that ball, to boot.
  14. Outshined_One
    Apparently he never hit one with the Pirates. *Shrugs*
  15. Outshined_One
    Good to see Glendon Rusch is in midseason form. Guh. Why do Cubs pitchers suck against the opposing pitcher?
  16. Outshined_One
    Todd Walker isn't exactly a gold glover, himself...
  17. Outshined_One
    Wow, I was expecting a complete meltdown out there from Glendon.
  18. Outshined_One
    His BA and OBP against Rusch is .333...along with a .952 SLG. This should be a fun AB.
  19. Outshined_One
    What happened? Freel squeaked a ball past Walker and Pierre came in to shallow right/center to pick it up. Freel was going two all the way, Pierre got the ball to second base on about four bounces.
  20. Outshined_One
    Holy wow Pierre has an atrocious arm.
  21. Outshined_One
    Based on Rammy losing his balance and how he made contact with that, I thought that going was foul.
  22. Outshined_One
    Holy crap.
  23. Outshined_One
    Looks like a wide plate today.
  24. Outshined_One
    Morning Bruce! Thanks for the lineups! Aurilia batting fourth? Hee hee hee.
  25. Outshined_One
    If that's the case, Noah and Roy, plz. Even though I hate Noah right now. There's almost no way the Bulls have the opportunity to take two guys from that list. It depends on which picks the Bulls end up getting, especially if they somehow make it to the playoffs. If they end up missing out on that 8 seed, they could help their draft standing. I think that if things pan out as expected, they should have the #1 and the #12. I'd say the odds are 50-50 that one of Foye or Roy will be there for the #12. Al Horford and Marcus Williams wouldn't be bad picks at 12, either.
