I have to admit, since I am so conditioned to expect the worst, this news doesn't bother me as much. If Dusty ends up getting fired as a result of this, so much the better. Got to look for silver linings.
Have they given a reason for D-Lee not being in the line-up? Is it just Buck Martinez being diplomatic about playing time or is it - gulp - something else.
On the radio... Pat Hughes: "You know what is unique about Bill Hall don't you? He's got 4 L's in his name. 50% of the letters in his name are L's." Ron Santo: "Here's a quarter, call somebody who cares."
I could of swore the guy on MLB audio (Billy Sample?) said it was Derek Jeter. :x Edit: Oh yeah, they also claimed it was wind-blown and didn't look like much coming off of the bat.
This announcing is beyond annoying. Kruk is talking about how Latin born players are more advanced fundementally than their American counterparts. Who knows if it is true or not, but it is no less a sweeping generalization than it is to say that Americans are more advanced than Latin-born players. In other words, he needs to stop talking out of his sphincter.
