You guys should confuse DBAH0 and have him play Rover.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) What exactly do you mean by this? I think that they should have extended Garland more years than for what they did, and allow Contreras to become a free agent. They were using their budgetary contraints at the time.

I thought that it was insane to offer to Jose and not to Garland.

Highest league record in the World Series should get it. If the Sox finish 95-67 and the Cubs finish 93-69 and both win the pennant, then the Sox should get home field.

Hell, I'd almost rather have Daniel Cabrera over Contreras.

I'm thinking that they'll deal Fields and convert Beckham to 3B.

I went to Giordanos; not that impressed really.

Maybe you could get the 7 1/4 and do the stretch trick that they desribed up there.

You guys should check out the post in my baseball history thread. It's a pretty cool video of Mantle and Mays.

Here is the origin of the Home Run Derby. A TV show made in the 1959-60 offseason. MLB stars like Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Henry Aaron and others battled it out for thousands of dollars. Most MLB guys didn't make a lot of money in the older days, so this was a real boon to them. Here's part 1 and 2 of Willie Mays vs. Mickey Mantle. Enjoy!

I don't know about anyone else, but I have trouble finding fitted baseball caps that are my size. I have what scientists call: A BIG FREAKIN' HEAD! Size 8, sometimes, 8 1/4 if I need a haircut. What size do you wear?

Lynn Swann

You forgot leftover stress from his divorce and child visitation rights.

I think I can guess how this will trend, but maybe I'll be surprised.

Option Russell to AAA, bring up Broadway, and let him spot start. Have Jose pitch out of the bullpen for a week, and see if his velocity improves at all. If it doesn't, DL him with "fatigue" issues.

I know Holiday Inn Express's prices in Chicago. What's your price range? How far from town are you willing to stay?

Twins lose - At least it helps this suckage not feel as bad.

I can't tell what's Jose's fastball and what's his changeup.

Bedard might be someone to look at if he's cheap.
