Selling insurance?

That was a very fun inning!
-
Marquis helps himself.
-
70 pitches for Backe already.

Give my phone number to any strange men lately Vance? lol. I thought you wouldn't mind. Were you able to go? Yeah, I took his tickets to the game on Monday, thanks. Hurricane Wrigley was a blast. :lol:

Loaded for DeRosa.

Whether or not it will work with those two, I don't know. I do know that since 2000, the Cowboys are very proactive in this regard. They have devoted enormous resources and staff to helping keep players out of trouble. It isn't foolproof as you can't baby sit guys all the time. But Jerry takes a certain approach with these type of players. He structures the contracts so they can be cut if they screw up. He then surrounds them with a strong group of guys like T-Newman, Brady James, and others who look out for them. And finally he devotes staff to helping them and keeping tabs on them. Since this was incorporated, the Cowboys have had fewer problems and no high profile arrests. Does this mean Pacman will stay clear of trouble? I don't know...but I do know that he's more likely to in Dallas than with other teams. Tank hasn't quite played a year with the Cowboys, but so far, he hasn't given them any trouble either. I'm optimistic they will. And it's still funny teams decry the Cowboys as a team of trouble makers when players in the past 6-7 years or so have not had legal problems while on the team.

Just seems like their teams weren't as proactive in keeping players out of trouble to me.

:x
-
Well, damnit! And I bet they'll add more with Lee coming up.
-
Here comes trouble.
-
and now Bob is ranting about shades again.

Haven't the Bears had more players arrested in recent years than the Cowboys? :-k The Bears cut arrested players. The Cowboys collect them. Gotta catch em all! Yet they stay out of trouble in Dallas. So maybe instead of collect you should say rehabilitate. Should probably let Tank and Pacman actually play a season before you say all that.... Maybe you should wait to see if they can turn it around before ridiculing a team for giving them a second chance....

Marquis pops out. Only one run that inning. :x
-
Swisher. Easily. Really? Using hindsight, I'd take Fuk. Swish is younger and cheaper. I'd take Fukudome. The pieces we would have used to get Swisher likely would have kept us from having the right pieces for Harden.
-
Soto walks. Now would be a good time for Marquis to help himself.
-
Fukudome flies to right.
-
Kosuke looks like crap on those inside pitches.
-
DeRosa doubles to left scoring Edmonds! =D>
-
Edmonds doubles to RF.
-
Ramirez pops out to RF.
-
Marquis followed a six pitch inning with a 21 pitch inning...but still no damage.
