You kind of have to look past the “awesome” copyright anti-infringement measure…

But I understand. It’s cool ….

And for the rest of you villagers–put down those torches and pitchforks.

I know we lost four to two to that blabber-mouth D*&ck and his pet.

It’s Okay

It’s only Spring Training.  (more…)

Take a Seat Please

Today we are going to eschew what has become the “Original” format to talk about the three different types of major league baseball players, at least I believe, should be on every team:

The Super Star(Soriano, Zambrano)

The Fan Favorite(Ramirez, Theriot)

The Grinder(which is not my favorite term, but F*&k it, it serves my purpose here–Johnson, Fontenot) (more…)

Rangers Shocked/Offended! Drop game 10-4:

To the Cubs Friday afternoon in Surprise… (more…)

Seriously?

What is he made of–anti-diamond?(which is the opposite of diamond, and by my logic that should mean extremely brittle)

Ok, that’s a stretch–but he was pulled(by himself) from today’s game after feeling tightness in his quad during his first at bat.

A game that we won I might add.

Some common definitions of pre-gaming:

1. The time alloted before the start of an event where players and or coaches review strategy and overall  organizational coherence.

2. The time alloted before the start of an event dedicated to fans gathering and drinking heavily therefore avoiding outrageous stadium alcohol prices.

3. Two University of Wyoming coeds dancing and sipping from a bottle of crown while you wait four hours to go to a bar that oddly enough also hosted shots of crown and music for dancing(this is the one I’m stuck with since it was the first time I’d ever heard it used this way.

The Chicago Cubs have once again trimmed down their Spring Training roster as they sent down six more players.

The most notable players to be sent down are Jake Fox and Jeff Samardzija.  Fox will be headed to Triple-A Iowa and Samardzija will be headed to Double-A West Tennessee.

Others being sent down include:

Juan Mateo – Triple A
Ed Campusano, Luis Figueroa, and J.D. Closser to minor league camp

I think we will see Fox and Mateo called up and some point in the season due to injuries etc.  They will be some of the first minor leagues called up unless they completely suck it up in Iowa.
