QUOTE (jphat007 @ Feb 15, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) Where are my pix! Stupid AP/Getty/Reuters. of course they got plenty of the dodgers. guess it was too much to walk a hundred yards or so and go snap some of the sox.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 10, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) If they're going to investigate/prosecute players for perjury, they should also investigate/prosecute the source(s) of these leaks. That's only consistent and fair. then they should prosecute the union. those idiots had plenty of time to destroy those confidential results and for some reason they didn't.

entire list of names to be leaked soon.

even with both danks and floyd winning 20 games each? and carlos winning the mvp? and PK raking over .300 all season? clearly BP is ignoring my projections.

do you think he'll start in AA or AAA?

uribe, rowand, crede... might have to start rooting for the giants at chavez ravine (and risk gangland retribution)

AWESOME feedback - thank you everyone!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 03:33 PM) Classic games. Can be somewhat edited for time if you want. But if I'm sitting around on a Sunday now that football's over and the only thing on is the Spurs playing whoever, and Don Larsen's perfect game is on, or one of Willy Mays's better games is on, or just about anything like that, there's a reasonable chance I'm tuning in to the baseball game. They've got to have like 60 years of footage right now right? How many great games are there per season? good point, and i know they have some of those in the pipeline. What about a show that goes behind the scenes of the game - the logistics of a road trip; what happens when a player is traded and all his belongings are still in another city; a show that follows a team on a road trip, that sort of thing. What about a program where you have an ex-major leaguer sitting down with another to discuss strategy, key moments in a game, using actual footage?

Question for you fans of MLB network - what kind of programming would you like to see, other than the obvious gameday/studio updates?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 26, 2009 -> 04:34 PM) The "9 Innings From Ground Zero" special on HBO about this World Series is fantastic. thank you

I'll miss the cannon he calls a right arm. But it's good to move on.

how great is it to have a guy like joey cora in the organization...

man...i can't wait!

QUOTE (Cubano @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 11:15 AM) If you take any pictures of Cuban players and like to share them with me for my blog, I will be very grateful. I'll give credit off course. por su puesto! I can't wait to see our latest addition from the Cuban nation. I'm surprised there isn't more buzz on this site today seeing as how tickets just went on sale. The new complex looks great.

Just went online and got my spring training tickets -- hope to see the count there in phoenix.

I sold programs for a summer in Baltimore, much easier gig and free seats. He should look into that, beats the hell out of dragging ass up and down the aisles.

it will be so nice to bid this s***hole adieu... link

QUOTE (G&T @ Dec 15, 2008 -> 06:34 AM) I'd say it's a high risk low reward signing in that he assaulted the President of the United States and will likely not see the light of day for a long time. And I don't know how much throwing he'll get to do in the Iraqi Penal league. even when it happened in Iraq?

if asked to pick right now, i wonder who the prognosticators would pick to win the AL CENTRAL in '09. My guess is that it will be CLE again. Sizemore and company, Lee, now Wood. A healthy Hafner (maybe).

"The Glory of Their Times" is considered by many to be the best. A sports writer in the late 50s early 60s saw that an old ballplayer had died and realized a whole generation was about to pass into obscurity, so he set out across the country with a recorder and interviewed some real characters, old farts who were playing when the leagues first got started at the turn of the century. The stories are absolutely incredible, like the HOF catcher who refused to wear pads or a face mask, eventually wound up coaching for the Pirates in the 1920s. It's all first-person narratives, each chapter a different player. You won't be sorry. link

QUOTE (tommy @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 05:46 PM) and some more from Cowley: Josh Fields has requested to work out with Ozzie and Joey Cora starting in Jan. down in Miami. The goal is to improve his defense. He should introduce him to Viciedo (can someone please come up with a nickname already?) and hand him a first baseman's glove.

I hope Jamie Torres is for real on this guy.

QUOTE (tommy @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 05:41 PM) From Cowley: Guillen on the youth movement: "I'd rather be too young than too old. I can work with kids." then he'll be whining that he needs veterans who know how to play the game.

are we seriously looking at an outfield of Owens, Anderson and CQ? Seriously?

He's a long shot, but I'd like to see Getz leading off.
