I hate Rome too. He is such an ass. He thinks he knows it all, he cries, and he acts like a d'bag. :fyou Rome

Yeah he did pitch pretty well. I saw him pitch in the CWS right after we drafted him and I was extremely disappointed. He has decent stuff, but I just don't see it in him. His control is pretty bad and I really don't think he has a chance to make it. I sure as hell hope he makes me look like the biggest idiot ever.

Yeah, but I'm worried that they had him skip another start. Hopefully he pitches and is back in good form after the layoff.

Bham won 3-1. Aaron McNeal went 3-4 with 2 HRs, Mike Morse also added a solo shot. Also, Ruddy Yan went 2-4 with a steal, good to see him hitting again. Box Score Winston-Salem just keeps losing. They lost 3-2 in 10 innings. Ryan Sweeney had 2 hits! Jason Stumm got the loss. Box Score

Sorry Spiff and Mathew. Go Canadian teams!

Jas, you are starting to scare me.

Yeah I'd like it better the other way. A big plus would be that I would be the only 2-0 team.

Well said, that's what I was thinking when reading Gammons' stuff. It's basic stuff for us, but useful for fans of other teams.

I see Borchard being a Russell Branyan. Branyan bat in the .220-230 range and hit a good amount of HRs per AB. Borchard can only hope to do that.

Oh no problem. It is pretty confusing and when I started at Yahoo I wasn't sure what the scoring was either.

Diaz won Pitcher of the Week for the International League with his 13 shutout innings. The IL's press release follows. It is a pdf file so if that won't work for you keep that in mind. IL Players of the Week

Just in case anyone is wondering both Rupe and Anthony Webster (also in the Everett deal) are at high-A ball. Rupe made one start and had 4 shutout innings with 3 k's and 3 hits. Webster is batting .237 so far with only 2 extra base hits and 10 k's.

Ya know Jas, you and your favorites are starting to get on my nerves. It's Young this, Wing that. Get over yourself man.

I think Reed should be the guy in our organization scouts call a god, not Sweeney.

Wow this is bad. And what's really bad is that he died of a heart attack and is the CEO of McDonald's. Nobody made special mention of that.

Yeah, but I'm in 1st.

This is great news. No need for these guys to get whooped in the NFL.

We have the best record in the AL. That's enough to satisfy anyone. Even George Steinbrenner could be satisfied with that record.

Yeah, what a bum.

Jas no comment on your boy Chris Young?

You wanted 7 and 1 and you got 9 and 0.

Well given the choice I think you would have to say Munoz because he already pitched at Charlotte out of the pen. I really expect Munoz to keep it up, but I'm not so sure about Meaux. It will be interesting to see how these guys continue to play. I don't know when the first promotion/demotions will be. I guess that depends on trades and injuries.

Charlotte beat Toledo 5-4 in 11 innings. The Knights took the lead in the 7th, added to it in the 9th with Reed and Borchard scoring. Gary Majewski and Courtney Duncan combined to blow the save and almost the game in the 9th. Scott Bikowski hit a leadoff game-winning HR in the 11th. Charlotte Box Score The Barons won 6-3 with Ruddy Yan, Aaron McNeal, and Rob Sasser with 2 hit games. Munoz is still yet to give up an earned run. Birmingham Box Score Winston-Salem lost (again) 4-2. Sweeney and Anderson both went without a hit. At least Castro and Espinal pitched well out of the pen. Winston-Salem Box Score

I have a bet with a friend based on Sox/Cubs win/loss. Last year we put a dollar for each win. I get a dollar for each Sox win, he gets the opposite. I only had to pay $4 come the end of the year because we didn't include playoffs. This year I made the same bet except I got 5 games. So I'm up $6 right now!

A friend of mine who moved from Kentucky last year saw the Hornets on tv and said that he wished they had gone to Louisville instead of New Orleans. I asked what sports are in Kentucky other than the colleges. He said they don't have anything but a stinking minor league Arena Football team.
