Punch and Judy Garland

I just don't know how anyone has the energy for more than one of these per month

Makes me squeamish that people would cheer on this stuff. He's entitled to his opinion but I am entitled to mine and I think he is a self-involved and condescending homophobic idiot

Yeah Furcal has been struggling but he quietly has 23 steals which is more than Crawford and trails only Pods off of my memory. I really like Rollins, and they paid a bit much, but they locked up a good guy and a really good player even if they overpaid

We've been waiting to fill the wife beater role on our team since Cordero left, Lugo fits the bill. Was it him or Kelvim Escobar who banged their wive's head on the car hood? Same summer, can't recall the difference.

There isn't a team in the league that couldn't use the Jason Schmidt pre-05. I just don't understand what is wrong with him. Clearly, there is shoulder trouble. THe other part might be as simple as having to learn how to pitch at 90-92. Jason has been brutal but if you had a healthy Schmidt, you get a guy who can outduel the Santanas of the world which is special

you have to wonder if there could be legal action on his behalf if he can't catch on elsewhere. I think a lawyer for him could make the argument that 346 hitters aren't designated very often. I'm interested in how this plays out

I'm sorry but Cliff as an all-star just reeks of homerdom. He's been excellent but let's not get too carried away

If Clint is out the next three months as reported then he probably can't win. THere is a history that shows June call-ups can win (Willis) and injured players can (Bay) but Bay didn't miss all that much time.

i feel sick, this is unreal

Right, the Spurs aren't that close yet but they have enough good players who are relatively young to have a shot at building one. I still think Manu is your 05-06 MVP, this playoff run has shown he is emerging as an elite player

I expect him to be overwhelmed this week but it must be nice for the Brew fans to see the future this week. Rickie Weeks might win the NL ROY, in my opinion

Who is happiest today? Rafael Furcal. After Cabrera and Rollins getting $8 per and Renteria getting 10, his contract perameters are pretty good looking

There is no question that even in first the Nats are not the favorite tow in but its fun to let yourself believe, even if you wind up disappointed

Catchers seem to develop power later for some reason. I agree tha the park is a big part of it. The lenses aren't cheating or immoral. I think an athlete should take every advantage he can inside the law and if it doesn't hurt him or the game in the long run

Best story in baseball this year. Nick Johnson has been all-world and of course Patterson has been awesome. Anyone pitch with as much heart as Livan? Definitely moved into my top five favorite teams

I think he still would have signed him though

Manuel should have gotten the KC job

Why fire Trader Jack? I guess he accidentally won the world series in 03.

As good as Cotts has been lately, he doesn't get lefties out very much. It may not be the same injury but you worry about biceps with pitchers after Penny and Carpenter were shut down last year for bicep strains. Let's hope he gets back soon but either way, I hope to see a mediocre lefty brought in a small trade before the end of July.

Freddy Garcia was picked up in June and Robbie and Carl Part 1 were long before the All-Star break so I think its relevant talk now

If Hochevar goes to the cubs I'll puke

Definitely hope she's ok. Coach Lowery at SIU goes through a similar thing and it must be brutal. Awkward seque but any chance the big man plays first tonight?

Very glad that Colorado won one for my boy

It has little to do with throwing the ball too hard as it does with him having a real should problem. clearly, 15 days on the DL wasn't what the doctor ordered so I don't know where the Giants turn from here

I put up with losing Jose, Maggs, and Lee. DOn't f*** with me Kenny. I am a lifelong fan but I will cash my chips out if we trade the big man. I'd hate to see Carl go but better him than Big Frank.
