    who be sinatro and strode? I don't know much about either of them, but I just looked it up. Matt Sinatro was a little used catcher for 11 years in the major leagues. He was a bullpen coach for Piniella in Seattle, and might have been in Tampa Bay as well. Lester Strode has been the Cubs minor league pitching coordinator for 11 years now. Yeah, Sinatro was also the bullpen coach at Tampa Bay. Strode was a pitching assistant for the big league Cubs in 1994 and 1995 before going to the minor league pitching coordinator job.

    Scout.com with a story on the instructs. Highlights: -Pie worked on base running and stealing with Bob Dernier. -Trying out new positions: Matt Camp was at second base as Steve Clevenger and Casey McGehee tried out catcher. -Ryan Harvey made a good impression on Tim Wilken.

    Well, it wasn't the first time he's done it in the AFL (though his other 3 IP appearance had only 25 pitches). Lincoln gave up 3 of his runs in his last inning of work where he looked like he got tired. Piggy hasn't pitched since last Saturday because of a cut in his non-throwing hand. He's been throwing catch and working in the bullpen in the mean time and expects to get into games once his stitches come off on Tuesday.

    Play nice...that goes for everyone.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Just like the White Sox winning it all woke up the front office.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yes. (And it's Jered.)

    Not if they're smart they didn't. He should be a starter. Yeah, he should be a starter. I said he would win 15 games next year if he was a starter. Oh god, I'm agreeing with you over something most Cardinals fans think I'm wrong about. Something's wrong. He is more valuable as a starter. But at least you're agreeing with me too.

    Man, July 31 that year was so much fun. Capped off by Treebeard's Nomar post.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ehh, don't worry about it. And I picked I'm numb to the pain.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'm going to move this to Polls.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    And the Bears will somehow screw this up too. Count on it.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    What, the Cardinals 1 win away from the World Series isn't depressing enough?
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Maybe you should move away from Chicago? Can't. Just started optometry school. C'mon...optometry school and watching the Cubs suck or no optometry school and maybe the Cubs won't suck? Nah, they will suck either way.

    I hate baseball.

    Luke Hochevar left the Grand Canyon Rafters with a sore shoulder. The Royals are saying it's strictly precautionary.
