Dempster is getting hit hard tonight. This might not end well.

Selig reconsidering Pete Rose
vance_the_cubs_fan replied to shnsajax's topic in General Baseball Talk
I think Rose belongs in the HOF, but I don't think he should be allowed to have a job in baseball. That I think is the rub. The HOF passed a rule saying if you are on the banned list, you are not eligible for the HOF. If Selig reinstates him for HOF purposes, there would be nothing prohibiting Rose from taking a job in baseball. That I think has always held up the process. -

I could care less about his ego. The problem is that he's ten times the baseball announcer than anyone in the Cubs booth, both the TV and radio side. I don't want to be friends with him, I just want a quality baseball broadcast. I used to think so, but I don't miss him anymore My thoughts exactly, especially during the Joe Carter days. You didn't like hearing about Delino being stuck in the a-hole?

I don't want to be friends with him, I just want a quality baseball broadcast. I will give this to Stone. He taught me that a slider low and away with two strikes will likely get the hitter out. Other than that, I've got no use for him.

Someone must have put some crack in Al's bologna sandwich today.

Too bad Mercker didn't whoop Stone's ass for real about five years ago.

I've never been to Coors, but in my experience, if you can find where the players enter the park before the game, you'll get more autographs than you will in batting practice. thanks Vance, I know your the expert...I will try to find that spot, my son would be pumped. How early would they get to the park for a 7:00 game? At an away game, would they be in a bus together? Most won't take the bus. Those that do, you probably won't see. For a 7:00 game, most will arrive between 2-4, with the majority between 2:30-3:30. The coaches and some of those who like to get there early may get there as early as 12:30-1:00. I don't know how the park is situated. Some places, it is easy to access them (Houston, for example)...others like St. Louis, there's a gated lot they let the cabs enter and it's a lot harder. I've never been to Colorado, so I can't tell you anything about it. You might try posting on a Rockies message board and find out if anyone knows where the visiting team get out of cabs to enter the park.

Could we just get Zaun to complete the Rich Hill trade?

Thanks for your keen insight.

If you had to face a MLB pitcher...

Donnie Veal. There's a strong chance he walks me before I have to swing. -
The Orioleshangout guys always over value their players and think they should get a premium for anyone they trade. It's pretty laughable over there.
-
I think that is correct.

Signing Edmonds for 2009 would have had a strong chance of ending up like Gary Gaetti. Letting Edmonds leave was the right decision.

Congratulations.....you're officially one of "those people" The seats I have are pretty high up. There's also a 50/50 chance that I'll sell them. As a Cowboys season ticket holder, I was given a presale password and felt I should at least get them and then decide if I want to go later. I'm not sure how well these would sell on the secondary market, but I figure that I'll at least get my investment back if I decide not to go.

I have tickets to next season's all-star game! (and I'm not even a big fan of the NBA...)
