    I get such terrible radio service in my dorm. DId he say anything of interest? Not really. Says he loves playing with DeRo but it's win/win whether he's paired with Roberts or DeRosa. Obviously it takes time for middle infielders to develop a rapport, blah blah. Said he took a ton of swings this off-season in order to be a more consistent hitter next year. Nothing earth shattering or new, really.

    Theriot is on now...

    While I agree that it seems completely unlikely and counterintuitive that sliding would be faster, I don't think this is ever a good form of reasoning. Look at how many things most "baseball people" have wrong to this day despite how long the game has been around.

    Remember when Zambrano just didn't give up HR? Up until game one of the NLCS, that is...

    I posted that on OH and bigbird was the first to reply with...

    Levine is reporting that the latest on the Roberts trade is that Baltimore is going to send some scouts to our camp before games even start (just to watch workouts) to get a look at what they might be getting in a deal. Bruce feels that it's a bit odd, as MacPhail should have a good handle on what the Cubs have, anyway. Also says there is no question that the Cintron acquisition was tied to the potential Roberts deal in that they want to have him around if/when they ship Cedeno to Baltimore.

    Levine reports that the Sox say it's an unfounded rumor.

    Right. I'm a moron. Realized that right after I posted it. The fact that the baselines end so shallow threw me off.

    Huh? Looks like about 440-450 to me... Or do you just mean at the spot where the actual catch was made?

    According to Wikipedia, only four players ever hit a homerun into the center field stands at the Polo Grounds after the 1923 remodeling: Luke Easter Joe Adcock Hank Aaron Lou Brock The unofficial length from homeplate to the centerfield stands was 505 feet. :shock: On the other hand, check out the dimensions to left and right... How did people not hit 100 HR a year at that place?? :shock:

    That botched double play ball, on the other hand...

    On the one hand, at least Deuce is showing he is capable of going against the grain with regard to conventional wisdom.

    Most of us find them at Yahoo, I think. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/gallery;_ylt=ArYG.n7KrvtrQPSFzu_CmygRvLYF

    So Roberts had this to say about possibly being traded... http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/baseball/bal-schmuck0219,0,3568900.column

    Yea, baseball isn't really his thing. lmfao and he just said that Theriot is too winded from windsprints to join him and he'll be on tomorrow.

    You want some cheese with that whine? There is no news. We've had a smattering of published media reports, a few comments from Mr. Miles and massive amounts of speculation disguised as "rumor" from "sources" or "guys". It's not like he's wrong. I don't necessarily take issue with the things he's pointing out, but he's completely right.

    A heads up in case anyone is interested.
  18. David
    Looks the same to me. Look at his legs. Still stick-figureish.

    Good deal apparently means fleecing Hendry. Apparently.

    Belkast just posted the following... When someone said something to the effect of, "Well, duh, isn't that obvious? Who wouldn't?" he responded... Then when asked if Angelos would have enough respect for Roberts to give him what he wants...

    lol... MacPhail is so annoying for some reason. I can't even stand to read one of his quotes.

    This would back up the bigbird report from today... From Roch's (O's beat writer) blog at Baltimore Sun http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/roch/blog/

    I think that's the worst blog name I can imagine. No way I'm going there. lulz.. Check it out, though. He's got some random entertaining stuff. Nice job, Wilco. Have fun.

    It'll be a LONG LONG time, if ever, before that changes. I mean, I don't even see it changing in the next 30-40 years. Maybe the new-school stuff will be mainstream enough after another generation or two, though, who knows.
