QUOTE (knightni @ May 26, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) There are Southpaw plushes around. Target had Southpaw pillow pals. Not down here in Alabama.

If somebody could get one of these for me on June 3rd, I'd be willing to compensate with a Barons related souvenir within reason. We can work out the details. My son would love that Southpaw mini plush.

Semien hits the DL.

You'd think that Jon Gaston and Cyle Hankerd would've reported by now.

He literally just got promoted to Charlotte today.

And, Cyle Hankerd's contract was purchased from Amarillo. He's going to Kanny. Although, I think he might be coming to B'ham as well. He's 27 and he has 3 years of experience at AA, in the Southern League no less. I think that means he wouldn't be eligible to play in Low-A. The Barons are carrying 3 catchers at the moment, Dubler or Sierra could be DL'd to make room for Hankerd.

The White Sox bought the contract of OF Jon Gaston from Fargo-Moorhead. Former Astros farmhand, big year in the California League in 2009, only 25, typical power hitter with lots of K's and a mediocre average. Likely going to B'ham, Jon Gilmore was put on the DL today.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 19, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) what vaginas are you around that smell like festering dirty diapers?? Lots of dirty diapers collecting in the trash can cause the trash can to smell like shrimp and vagina.

Finished "Ready Player One." Good stuff.

And Ballinger is back to Winston-Salem.

J.R. Ballinger sent to Kanny from W-S, Collin Kuhn retires.

What's the hold up with signing O-Dog? Are they waiting on pap smear results or some s***?

Dirty diapers go directly outside into the bin. There's been a lot lately.

My outside garbage bin smells like shrimp and vagina.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2012 -> 09:02 PM) Semien injured? He's missed 5 games now, must be.

QUOTE (danman31 @ May 16, 2012 -> 09:49 PM) I'm jinxing Jared like crazy. FutureSox Hitter of April? Suck in May. Bash him after May slump? 3-3, 2B, BB the next night. Good stuff. Use your power for good, Dan. (I'm expecting an "evil laugh" response.)

QUOTE (flavum @ May 15, 2012 -> 09:27 PM) I have a good feeling about this Quintana feller. He may be legit. Does anyone have any info on why the Yankees let him go? He was my preseason sleeper pick.

Andy Wilkins hits the DL.

Slaughter House Five and I Am Legend are 99 cents on Amazon Kindle Store right now.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 13, 2012 -> 07:57 PM) Which supports the idea you have to be patient with your players... And if you look at the Red Sox outfield right now, they probably need Reddick back more than we need him. That said, Boston's even moreso in a position than the White Sox where they have to "win right away" with young players and can't afford to be very forgiving for dragging down the line-up when their starting pitching's so vulnerable. The main point is we should have been stockpiling young position players and depth, too. As important as young starting pitchers are, we've seen for the last 3-4 seasons what happens when your offense is short at least 1-2 hitters. And, having Reddick would have given them the luxury to trade Dunn, because even if he hits his statistical averages from here on out, we can never recover during his contract from the damage that 2011 imposed on the payroll and fanbase unless things dramatically change in the next 12-18 months. And it doesn't seem like that change will come from the minor leagues, either. Wholeheartedly agree. Every trade ends up bringing more right handed pitchers.

QUOTE (OilCan @ May 12, 2012 -> 11:54 AM) Is there a reason why Jon Gilmore is still in Birmingham, and Brady Shoemaker isn't? Or Dan Black? Hasn't earned a promotion yet.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 11, 2012 -> 07:46 PM) What's got into Doyle tonight? 10 k's in 5 innings. You can understand why the Twins couldn't keep him, but do you think they'd like him back now? He throws 5 pitches, all for strikes. An innings eater/K machine.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 11, 2012 -> 03:24 PM) Fun video made by the Dash... They could've picked any song...my heart aches for the youth of America.

Angels cut loose Trevor Reckling. Worth a pick up?
