QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:01 PM) Spelled S-E-A-Y. Ugh.. Ed is on my LAST nerve today. Gage does PBP....

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) Oh come on. So he can do no wrong? This is a poorly managed game. Period. What's the point in blowing out the pen when you've got a cushion?

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) Bad managing. Bad managing is a hallmark of so many world champions. Give me a break.

Actually, I wouldn't have minded Boone against Guillen.

QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 12:33 PM) Isn't Tyler Lumsden a lefty as well? Yup, my mistake.

Man, it's great to see Cintron heating up. With Juan struggling early, we could see him some more.

Today would be a PERFECT situation to get Boonie some work.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 12:43 PM) That would make sense if he was hitting anything hard. He's not. Not even hard ground balls. I've gotten to see two games this year. Is he even trying to slap the ball, or what's the deal?

I guess I'd be more concerned about Scott if he was striking out a lot. He's just hitting them where they am, I guess. I am getting worried though.

It's kinda fun watching on Gamecast. The ball popped up on the screen and I was saying "STRETCH!!".

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 12:10 PM) i think hes locked in Maybe. Although, I'm sure we'd rather have Gio and Haigs back.

THOME!!

I flipped thru it last nite There was one to the effect of: PLAYBOY: What's the wosrst thing you've said to an umpire. Ozzie: Um...wow. Probably "I hope your mother's still alive beacuse you're a f***ing motherf***er."

Smith's gotten roughed up in limited action, as has Baj for Tucson. Bull is doing well for New Hampshire, though, I believe.

Charlotte has now reeled off five straight hits, with Gonzalez and Sweeney singling. All with one out.

Charlotte up 3-0 in the third, Stewart doubles, Velandia doubles and Owens homers. Haeger not with the best control, throwing about 60/40 strikes, but getting the job done.

Charlotte @ Columbus underway. Charles Haeger vs. Karstens Lineup: Owens, cf Gonzalez, 2b Sweeney, rf Fields, 3b Rogowski, 1b Blakely, lf Young, dh Stewart, c Velandia, ss There's a Gameday link on CharlotteKnights.com.

http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll.../1003/OPINION04 So apparently both are looking at Iowa State. My money is still on Reed to Creighton, but it's weird picking through the Hawkeye scrapheap. Cheat, Babyjesus or any other Hawk followers - any ideas who the Hawks are looking at for assistant coaches next year? I've felt thats one area they've been lacking in, although it may just be cause of the guy on top....I hear a lot of peopike Neal, but that's really it.

QUOTE(Cali @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) I remember in either '03 or '04, there was a time they would wear those uni's for weeks at a time, which is when they became so boring to me. They should really only wear them in moderation. They kept it pretty equal last season, and I don't remember them wearing them at all in the Playoffs. Glad to see you still exist. This came up last year, as we discussed Freddy's long sleeves.

They're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I love the Sirotka lovefest, and I try to instigate one once a year. Seriously though, I teared up when I heard he was traded.

I loved Sirotka. It's a shame what happened. When I was like 10, there was a site named bigleaguers.com on which some major leaguers would update profiles and stuff. I was a Sirotka fan, and I saw he updated his and took emails, so I tried it. He was nice enough to reply, and we emailed each other off and on a few times. If nothing else, he was nice to me, but I'm sure you all remember the first time you talked with a big leaguer.

Wow.

Every Big 12 coach is a little sadder after this. I hate the Jayhawks with a passion, but BRush is a hell of a player.
