Although, I have to say I've never liked the fact that the pitcher gets off the hook due to his own error.

Stretch with 16 of 19 on road. Four trips to the West Coast to play 15 games. The 2012 schedule was poorly made.

I have a couple friends who reported a 25-30 minute wait at Chick-Fil-A today.

If they think so little of Olmedo that they start Hudson over him, then they need to go out and get another IF pretty quickly.

I would have said it was unlikely but not unbelievable.

Have not been to Nationals Park but I know that it's right on a Metro line so take the Metro. If you need any further help, let me know where your hotel is and I'll recommend a route.

I just realized that the next game I'm going to is Halfway to St. Patrick's night and there will probably be a lot of people in green shirts!

First time in a very, very long time that FSU has had a coach with any amount of class.

I've never paid much attention, but I've never been approached to take a survey or noticed a bunch of kids in green shirts. I'm going to another game in September. Where do I look for these people?

Apparently Tigers brass and Jim Leyland aren't on the same page: from espn.com:

If you live outside the Sox' MLB-defined "local territory", games on CSN will be blacked out even if you have the channel. There are a handful of places, Indianapolis being the most prominent, that are inside that "local territory" but don't carry CSN on their regular package, so it's actually worth paying extra to pick up CSN.

That was a pretty neat trick. Have your offense pound the s*** out of the pitcher you want and scare all the other suitors away.

Lefty starter + day game after night game = Flowers probably starts for AJ I only say probably though, because AJ is on a roll and tomorrow is an off day.

FT had some very valuable patents (Rush Poker, for one) that are worth buying even if they never get back in the US market.

Gore Vidal, 86

That had been rumored for quite a while--good to see that it's finally done. I suck enough at poker that I hardly ever had a balance on FT but I know several friends who had 4-5 figure balances.

I do request that warnings about ugly women be exempted from the spoiler rule.

f*** you Dempster for not going to the Braves.

If NBC were involved, we wouldn't hear any of it until primetime.

on mlbtraderumors via Rosenthal. No word yet on the return.

MLBN now saying that the Reds axed the deal, not Span.

per mlbtraderumors.

Cot's Contracts does not mention a NTC for Span, and he's nowhere close to 10-5.
