was Gregg a FA signing?

Lou made a good point --- he (Wells) throws strikes and changes speeds. That's a good combination.

Danny Jackson Dave Smith Kal Daniels Candy Maldonado Howard Johnson I'd put Moises Alou on my list. He was lights out with the Astros, signed with the Cubs, and had two crap years (compared to expectations). He got in his contract year ('04) and was awesome again. I hated that guy's attitude, too. . . . .it was never his fault. . . .always griping about something.

what was the question?

I kinda agree with the new guy. Zambrano's outburst --- the tossing the ump out motion, throwing the ball to the OF, throwing his glove, and demolishing the gatorade machine were incredibly childish and stupid. If all he'd have done was cussed the ump, got tossed, and bumped the ump (we've found that it matters not who's fault the bump is) he'd probably have gotten 6 games. It's not out of the question for MLB to have given a few more games for his other behavior. I could have seen MLB throwing out a 10 game suspension (2 games for a SP) just as easily as a 6 gamer.

crap. Naked Steve Stone could have at least made some contact there.

according to me, his name is "wolfe" according to ESPN, the game is at 7:05 Central Time (CST) The pics are real. . . ..from what I've found by sheer dumb luck (if you can call it that) is that he was in Play Girl in 1985. To be honest, I was just looking for a funny picture of steve stone so I GIS'd something like "Steve Stone Funny" and BAM!

I was hoping to find a better picture of his abnormally shaped butt. . .no such luck.
