BHAMBARONS

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) I'm glad Lumsden pitched well, but only one strikeout? Today's game was an enigma with the heat index in the mid 110's and those older stuffy uniforms on, he needed to keep that PC low which is what he did. Tennessee also swung at a lot of 1st pitches with out much of success. Lummy also pitching after Lance Broadway who ruffled some feathers by hitting 2 batters in succession then his last was thrown over the batters head and it was someone he already hit in the game. So Lummy had to be careful about the inside of the plate. All in all that was a great effort under those conditions

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 01:51 PM) They had the Clemson connection going regarding the pitching side of things. Btw, I've been meaning to ask where LaMura has been? I'm sure I know, but I can't recall at the moment. He is the Barons Setup/closer and finally believing in his stuff which is dirty. I think he has most K's on the team.

Barons 3 Tennessee 2 Lummy with 8 innings of 2 run baseball Getz: HR Schur: 2 Doubles LaMura 1-2-3 9th inning Aldridge: Huge 9th inning single Collaro: GW SF First Rickwood win since 2003 an first full game Rickwood win since 2002

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) Bham lost 6-2. HR for Aldridge. Broadway with a very meh start. Box Score Broadway also hit a couple batters one in the head which the Smokies thought was intentional.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 11:42 AM) Don't hold your breath. My guess is he will be out of the organization very soon, unless he shows some semblance of a fastball, command and obviously his knuckle curve. Its too bad, he was on the fast track for a while and than totally blew up. His big problems started with the season opening game in 2004 he started out rolling then came up lame after his 7th K in the 4th and he pitched one more inning the rest of year. Last year he made a couple starts his control was off. He then went to the DL and came back in the middle of the season and really got into a good groove, then went down again. I have always wondered if Honel shouldn't have had the surgery back in '04. If he could come back and is on he has good stuff and can be non hittable

QUOTE(Hatchetman @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 05:17 PM) that's hilarious. where did you get the info? Barons media relations director and Curt Bloom Barons annonucer confirmed it.

I would like to revisit a trade back in December: Pierre for Nolasco, Pinto, Mitre I though then the Marlins got the better end of that deal and know it is showing off. The Marlins got them selves a 23 year old pitcher who throws strikes and has a 5-3 record with 3.06 ERA, They also got a young lefty who I really liked in Renyel Pinto he is 6-2 with 2.98 ERA in Albuquerque which is the PCL equivalent to Coors Field. Then got another Major League pitcher is Mitre all for a .238 hitting no power or arm outfielder.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 06:11 AM) Didn't the D-Backs keep Andy Green on the 40 man roster as a backup infielder, and they signed Easley instead of keeping Uggla? Oops. The problem is he would have made the Tucson team even better than it is. Melvin is not a good manager and he believes in playing under performing overpaid vets instead of the prospects that are tearing up Tucson. Uggla would not have seen any playing time here because of Melvin's coaching style

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 09:46 AM) Manager Glenallen Hill? That's right

Also after the game Sox's released Darren Blakely because of efforts in tracking down balls in the outfield yesterday in front of the White Sox's Brass

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 12:08 AM) Nice to see Tracey pitch well. The s*** Ozzie pulled on him could mess with a guy's head for a long time. He seems to do well with Tampa System he dominated Montgomery last year in every outing and this Durham team has a lot of faces from Montgomery on it. He threw a CGSO against Montgomery last year his only one.

This was a good one I was listening on the Internet for my write up on the D-Backs farm teams and leading off the top of the 5th the SS Jonathan Herrera hit a ball well out of the stadium called first a home run then Brent Butler manager argued and it was called back, well the next pitch Herrera hit a ball well over the CF wall and rounding the bases he made several menacing gestures to the Umps and the Jethawks and when he crossed the plate he said a few comments to the catcher Josh Ford and Ford pushed his finger into Herrera's chest and it was on from there. The benches emptied and the umps separated the two but this didn't stop Herrera who sucker punched Ford. The punch knocked him backwards and then manager Glenallen Hill grabbed Ford and all three where ejected.

Arnie Munoz also was crushed again he a nice 11.20 ERA in Bham and has yet to post a scoreless inning. It appears that Arnie is done

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 04:18 PM) Were you around in 1789? I like it how you think you know everything face it you do not know one thing about what the founding fathers were thinking and they certainly didn't want to have Satan worshiping shoved down our throats. Please quit acting like you know everything when you really nothing you just act like it. THE PROOF IS IN THE BOOKS and DOCUMENTS. I am not making any of this stuff up it is clearly in the documents. So please come at me with more than insults I am getting tired of them.

This country was certainly not founded for Christianity there is proof everywhere the constitution, and our own founding fathers who this to be a country free of oppression.

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) I will not calm down. My uncle has done more than you ever have or ever will. What have you ever done to serve you country I bet not one damn thing. Don't ever tell me what to do, you are real pathetic Now come on is this type of personal attack needed. I never once said your uncle was killer or anything about you. I am tried of you always attacking me over stupidness :headshake

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 01:00 PM) Having to hear mom talk about the hippie liberals throwing things at his casket calling him a pig is why I hate liberals never will I vote for a liberal or believe a thing they say. I think you need to calm down a little, All liberals are not hippies, I am proud to call myself a Democrat and if that makes me into a liberal then I am fine with that.

QUOTE(Jim Spencer @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 11:04 PM) Heads, I've been voting for a couple of weeks now. I've been voting all Knights in the International League and in the Pacific I've voted for Jamie Burke at 3rd, Brian Daubach at 1st and Jeff Baj relieve pitcher I posted the link a couple of weeks ago in case anyone wanted to vote. Voting ends Friday the 23rd. How about Chris Young in Center for the PCL. I think the Game will feature a lot of Tucson/Charlotte players on it.

Soliders

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 11:12 PM) Have you ever seen so much collective talent go to waste on one team? Nope, those two have Ruthian power both hit home runs off the speaker in CF at the Met and Dukes also hit one into the auxiliary parking lot which is tough at any park much less the Met.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 10:49 PM) http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prosp...ews/261735.html Can anybody say that they're suprised? No suprise here at all. I was hoping to see Tracey beat the s*** out of him last year

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 07:38 PM) Ok, adding my .02 to this discussion. After attempting to drink away all I learned in Con Law I, I hope I can still be helpful. There is no way the SC could rule an amendment unconstituional. First of all, consider what an amendment is, it is a change to the constitution which can only be accomplished under very strict criteria (2/3 of both houses, 3/4 of the states). Since this is how the constitution dictates amendments are passed, the Court would have to rule that that portion of the constitution is unconstitutional in order to overturn an amendment. From a textual standpoint, Article III Section II of the Constitution says that the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction “in all cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be a party.” Suit involving an amendment would not fall under that category. Article III goes on to say “in all other Cases before mentioned the S.C. shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.” This is the portion of the Constitution that Marshall used when he created "judicial review" which is not even in the Constitution, but is rather a judicially created standard of review. Judicial review holds that the Supreme Court has the power to interpret federal laws and determine if they are in conflict with the Constitution. However, checks and balances dictate that judicial review is not the end of the road, much like the legislature can override an executive veto, the legislature can override a judicial veto by amending the Constitution. Thus, the ability of the legislature to amend is the only realistic check available to the legislature (historically the only other check was when FDR threatened to add justices to the SC if they continued to strike down his New Deal policies as unconstitutional). Now, the Supreme Court has the power to interpret amendments, one needs look no further than the evolution of the 4th Amendment to see that, but they would not be able to blatantly rule an amendment to the constitution as against the constitution because once, ratified, an amendment IS the constitution. The thing to remember in all of this is that the Constitution is not incredibly specific. The world has changed a lot since the Constitution was created and as such, you will not find a specific section that explicitly says "court challenges of amendments are not allowed." Instead, you need to interpret the Constitution as a whole, and like I mentioned earlier, the fact that the Constitution makes amending the Constitution to be a task that involves 2/3 of both houses and 3/4 of the states, a rather difficult task, makes a constitutional amendment beyond the scope of judicial review. My apologies for the length of the post, and congratulations to all that are still reading at this point. As an added disclaimer, I only got a B+ in constitutional law, so take that as it is. Very Very well said. to this great post I will also add that not only does it take 66 Senators + 38 States some republican states that voted for Bush in 04 have Democratic legislators or Governors which makes it even harder to pass.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 09:20 AM) I figured I'd come here for help. My son (otherwise known around here as "The Boy") is rather obsessed with cars in general. He is begging to go see a NASCAR race. So, being the most awesome Dad that I am, I want to take him in July to the race in Joliet. My question is where is best location to watch the race? I have never been to a NASCAR race and I don't know. Thanks! I have been there, I would say the finish line mid section. This way you can see the pits and see a good portion of the track as well. And if your willing to spend $40.00 a pit pass is a must for your first visit that is awesome. I been to Bristol, Charlotte, Talladega,Phoenix and Darlington and Chicago Land of course the best track is Bristol nothing comes close to that track. My best experence was at Darlington seeing Craven and Busch.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 08:35 AM) Haha, the Diamondbacks have lost like 10 of their last 13. How do the Yankees and Indians have the 1st and 2nd best offenses in the league again??? I can tell you for a fact the D-Backs are not the 4th best team. Being from here I would say they are 4th worst team. Now next year when we can unload all the contracts from nonperforming veterans and call up the prospects not only are the prospects better than the players we have now the money saved can be used to acquire a good pitcher.
