QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 10:04 AM) I have to go to Dothan, AL for work next week. The high temperature is supposed to be 100*. Every.Day. Enjoy! That's Alabama summer weather. It's 96 in Pelham right now. There's nothing in Dothan, it is the peanut capital of the world though. But, you could drive to the beach from there.

I traded in my beautiful baby blue 2007 Ford Mustang, it had the pony package, a white racing stripe along the side and black leather interior. Having a kid makes a two door sports car kinda useless. Whenever we go somewhere with the boy, we had to take my wife's leased 2011 Honda Civic. I had to do it. The silver lining? My new, gently used, silver 2010 Dodge Charger SXT with a spoiler, black interior and a black racing stripe down the side. Now I can actually put a car seat for my son in my car. I do miss my Mustang. I've been driving Mustangs for 13 years. (sigh) I'm gonna go look and see if it's listed on the Carmax website yet. The moral to this story...if you like your sports car, don't have kids.

Best line in the movie was Alan..."I see that this is a fishing village. Is there a Long John Silver's?" And, Stu's special moment was hilarious. So, if they do a part 3, does Alan get married?

Jeremy Reed is now a member of the Twins organization. It's going to be okay, Gerry.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) and its not as if danks doesn't have natural power....remember it was thought he would be a big time power guy coming out of high school too. IIRC he won the HR derby at a big time scouting event over some other top prospects. From what I remember when I saw Danks play in 2009 was that he is really lanky, really tall, with really long arms. Just a big kid. He would murder balls on the outside half of the plate, his power seemed to be to the opposite field. It seems like he and other tall, lanky guys with long arms would have trouble developing pull power and center power.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 01:02 PM) Hmm good point, I hadn't even considered that, and I honestly think I was not paying attention during that whole exchange. My theory and yours might actually blend together.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 12:06 PM) Yes. Then I will share mine.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 10:13 AM) Yes please. Hold on Marko, I'm stuck in line at the f***ing DMV.

Anyone want to hear my theory on "The Killing?"

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 08:45 AM) And 5 of the 9 have come on the road (and in fewer PA) so you can't say he's being aided by the park in Charlotte. They moved the fences back 5 feet and raised the wall height to make it tougher to hit homeruns.

I'm skipping Rickwood, it is too damn hot, no clouds and seriously humid. Barons vs. Lookouts (Rickwood Classic) Box

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 02:40 AM) Well that and Martinez had a .640 OPS in May. True, but Martinez's OPS on the season is 200 + points higher.

You know who should really be pissed about KW Jr. playing so much...Jose Martinez. He should be promoted soon or at least by the start of the second half. Jr. should be benched or demoted by then. If this was any other player, Martinez would've supplanted them by now. If Jose Martinez is being held back by KW Jr., then this organization is truly twisted and evil.

Viciedo is on pace for 22-23 homeruns and 100 RBI.

Whatever it was, it sure was sweet to watch him throw it.

Fort Mill, Kannapolis and Winston-Salem are all along the same stretch of interstate, so it's easier to move someone temporarily up to Charlotte from Winston-Salem. It's happened before the last few years with Kyle Shelton and Tyson Corley.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 31, 2011 -> 02:30 AM) http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/ar...rtnerId=rss_cws Apparently he learned a screwball in the offseason, and that has been a factor in his dominance. He also credited Phegley's gamecalling by saying that being in AA has been great because he hasn't had to shake off Phegley in either of his two starts yet. How many MLB players even throw a screwball? Seems like a very rare pitch, I'm excited to see Santiago progress this season and maybe get a chance to see him next spring training. I guess that's what I thought was a curveball he was throwing last night. It has some nice arc to it. Maybe a 2-7 break.

Santiago also breaks a lot of bats.

Good stuff too.

Jim Tressel...haha.

I think Marquez and Bruney are on their way to Chicago. Something's going on.

All day, getting paid double.

So, when Teahen is ready to be activated from the DL, do you send down Morel so he can get regular playing time, or just DFA McPherson? Morel has options and could use the at bats, just like with Viciedo.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 30, 2011 -> 12:01 AM) Just saw it. I think I laughed more in the second one than the first. Probably because there was more anticipation in the second. Very raunchy and disgusting. Don't get all the hate.

QUOTE (danman31 @ May 29, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) Kuhn and Phegley with hat tricks. One bad game for Kuhn should propel ye olde table setter KW Jr. back into the leadoff spot.
