I can't help wondering if Omar ever went to a Treatment Center for sex addiction, or whatever they call it. I remember reading about him a few decades ago when he was still playing, and the subject was which MLBer led the league in getting laid. Allegedly, Omar had that distinction for several years. Probably a badge of honor back then. Who knows, there might be dozens of little Omars running around. Somehow, the White Sox got stuck with him.

This signing is beyond stupid. So now the White Sox are leading the league in signing way over the hill catchers who can't hit. Getz can't be this dumb. He must have been told to do this. Meanwhile, I'm done.

He also figures to have a better offensive season next year. Still improving.

No, that will be next years 100 + page post season thread.

Why do you like Arroyo so much?

Rickie Lee Jones is from Chicago; you probably knew that.

One of my all-time favorites, but I never saw the video before. Thanks.

The more I think about the Ohtani deal, the more I lean toward the Commish stepping in and disallowing the deal. Either that or treat the prorated annual salary as being earned and paid this season for luxury tax purposes. They obviously are using this deferral as a means of not paying taxes in the USA. f*** 'em. You earned it here, pay taxes here. This is a big-time charade on both levels and should not be allowed. The competitive advantage given the Dodgers is off the charts.

Some of you guys follow the international market pretty closely. I'd be interested in your thoughts on Paddy.

I'm not sure. They should both improve. I think Robert can, too. And, Vaughn, too.

Only so much. Little things like the CBA and the Constitution get in the way. Actually, it might make for an interesting season.

Mike Piazza said to say Hi.

I don't understand how Gonzalaz can be rated higher than Rodriquez, and even Burrowes, for that matter.

Stassi will be a leader in the clubhouse. Or, the bullpen.

Getz is taking a victory lap.

An early April Fools joke, right?

OMG

Minor league deal or 40 man?

O'Neill and his skipper didn't get along.

Is there something wrong with a military background?

That says it all.

I love the rule.

Thank you.

I wish Hahn would have negotiated through the media when he was contemplating trading Tatis for a broken down, expensive pitcher,

I'm actually impressed by Getz for showing some restraint. You just know they were gonna try to fleece him. We'll see.
