Looks like you've got two helpers, SS!
I still can't do anything so it's just you still SS. Alex is rarely around. Do you have something at the top of your page that saids logged in as Winning Ugly (Log Out\ Mod CP)? That Mod CP is your moderators controls. If you click it, it should take you into the PTC stuff. Then if you click the Pick To Click title under forumn it will take you into the section where you pin, close, unpin etc.

We should probably wait to see if this kid ever pitches in the majors before getting TOO excited about this trade.

"Former" ESPN Brothers
Meh, I am just done with him and his garbage. I have no interest in feeding the troll. Have fun with what you want to do, it is just IMO that all it does is embolden him. I think if everyone quits posting over there, so will he, and he will move onto his next board.

No 5-16 PTC thread
#35 Frank Thomas

miles hitting 349
I am sure he gets a Sept call up if he keeps anywhere near the way he has been. Whoelse would they call up? I also think that he would be the first player recalled if Jimenez, Graffy, or Val gets hurt.
-
Umm....Moderators?
Go ahead and leave the old PTC threads up there, that way people can look back and see what picks that they have already made. I have been leaving them there for that reason.

Colon is awesome
Heck that game early in April when Frank got hit again, and our bench was empty before the first guy from KC even set foot on the field.

what other ballparks have you been to
Both Comiskeys, both Arlington's the old one sucked, the new one is OK, the Astrodome incredible size, really cool back then, now would be totally outclassed Minute Maid Park in HOU Incredible place to see a game, I loved it Busch Stadium in STL I was disappointed it was just a cookie cutter stadium with a couple extras, Tiger Stadium scary neighborhood and a classic stadium either you love em or hate em, Comerica Park some really good things like the brick walls and statuesand some really stupid stuff like the Ferris Wheel, and the SkyDome in TOR, cool place. I even took the full tour of the place and got to see them switching from baseball to football. Ah I forgot Jacob's Field

Milton Bradley benched
I am way in the lead to win a bet with my buddy who was an Indians fan. I bet him that their attendace would be under 25K a night. Right now they are at just over 19K http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=clev...ov=st&type=lgns If they keep it up the Sox might draw more fans then the Indians. I got so sick of hearing how great Indians fans were during the 90's, after no one went to games when they stunk. Now they suck again, and their attendance has fallen by 50% in two years. What a bunch of bandwagoners.

Milton Bradley benched
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-i...ov=ap&type=lgns And it should have happened after the series that the Indians were here for when he misplayed two balls in CF and then jogged after them.

No world wide draft
Remember that worldwide baseball draft that appeared so imminent in the hours before the new labor deal was sealed last August? Uh, never mind -- at least for now. As the labor agreement was going down, owners and players agreed on the concept for numerous changes in the draft. They just couldn't figure out the sticky details. So they decided to hold off for a year and let a new committee figure it all out. Well, with the June draft just a few weeks away, zippo has been resolved. In fact, the committee has had precisely one meeting -- last week. And members were told, according to baseball sources, that if they couldn't get this mess worked out before this draft, baseball would just stick with the current system until the next labor deal. However, another member of the committee says no deadlines whatsoever have been established, and that the committee plans to meet twice a month for the next few months "and we'll see where that takes us." But even if the goal is now to get a new system worked out by the 2004 draft, massive complications remain. "They can't even agree on how many rounds the draft should be," says one source. "Is it going to be 20 rounds, or 32, or 48? They can't even agree on that. So I don't think there's much chance of them agreeing on the hard stuff." The worldwide draft has proved to be such a logistical nightmare that, as much as some baseball people love it in theory, they have no idea how to make it work. It's so difficult to determine such basic information as accurate names and ages in some countries that teams stand a good chance of not even knowing whom they're drafting. But even some of the other, simpler issues that were supposed to be reworked -- letting teams trade picks, eliminating compensation picks for lost free agents -- are still hanging. So can all this be figured out in three weeks? "No shot," says one baseball man. And what are the odds of it ever being figured out? Not a whole lot better.

Crowds?
lets go low ball and say $20.00 a ticket for 12,000 at full prive - that is $240,000. 50,000 at $1 is $50,000. Which beats the heck out of the other? and: Monday is half price Tuesday is Pepsi $1 day Thursday is $1 hotdog Sunday kids get in for $1 if yoiu sign your kids up for Silver and Black Pack ($25) you get a gift and 6 free tickets to a game But you aren't adding in extra parking revenue, more suveniers, more concessions etc. I have a feeling that it would end up being a winner for the 50K people.

Cubs/Brewers
But I don't think we have a guy with a glass elbow who just threw 262 pitches in two outings.
