DBAHO

First pitch swingin. AGAIN.

Time for Paulie Walnuts to step up and get a hit.

Jose versus a lefty. This can't be good.

Because the Baseball Gods don't like us remember.

Martinez moves to third.

Marte in.

Olivo swingin at the 1st pitch. Patience ppl.

Damn this means she won't be coming down to Australia. She was meant to be promoting her movie at a shopping centre about 10 mins from my house, at least Ashley is still goin I guess.

I think I found Sweeney's pic on EBay but I can't remember for sure. I can always upload my old sig and you can use Sweeney's pic there if u want.

If he can stay healthy, he's definitely got a chance. We all thought Honel would move up the system quickly, but he's been bogged down in B-Ham due to his lack of velocity.

Smith could play at 1st, rotate all round the infield. I'm sure Valdez will play every day, due to his good numbers he put up at AAA Alberquque this season.

Got the same pitches in his arsenal as Barry Zito I believe, with the fastball, changeup, curve combo. If B-Mac is moved up from Kanny to Winstom Salem, we could see Gonzo in Kanny by the end of the season.

Not many pitchers use a knuckle curve now. Mike Mussina is one.

There goes Grilli chances of being our 5th starter. Good to see Borch hitting well again.

Disappointed they took Zaza Pachulia from Orlando, thought this young big man had a future. Too bad he won't get much playing time next year either if he stays since they already hav Jahidi White and the Clippers Euro big man.

Big problems if Elarton picks up his 1st win of the season against us. I saw this guy pitch for Colorado against the Marlins on TV and all I can say is that they took him deep on many occasions.

All I'm going to ask is who's Robin?

Maggs contract situation is always going to have people talking whether they like it or not. It's such an important decision for this franchise in terms of payroll and the potential fan backlash.

IRAN'S state-run television today broadcast images of eight members of Britain's Royal Navy blindfolded after their arrest for straying into Iranian waters near Iraq. The new footage broadcast by the Arabic-language satellite channel Al-Alam - a branch of the Islamic republic's official television network - showed the eight troops in a more uncomfortable position than shown in previous broadcasts. The troops, detained yesterday by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, were shown sitting on the ground in a small room with their eyes covered by cloth. Their hands and feet were not bound, and they were dressed in military fatigues. In previous images shown by the channel, the eight men were shown sitting on sofas in what appeared to be an office. The channel also showed images of captured equipment, including an array of weapons, communication equipment and cameras.

Grilli was a Rule 4 or Rule 5 draft pick, I always can't remember which draft that is. We paid $50,000 to select him I think.

Little snippet from the Free Press, Free Press Article The Tigers could announce as soon as today that they have signed Guillen to a three-year contract extension through 2007, the Free Press has learned. Unlike with the free agents they recruited last off-season, the Tigers have not overpaid to keep Guillen, at least based on the star level at which he has performed. His new three-year deal is said to be worth about $4.5 million a year -- half of what the Tigers offered shortstop Miguel Tejada as a free agent last off-season.

Just think of where that $45 million could go instead of to Kobe's lawyers.

Looks like she forgot to slip, slop, slap.

I guess some people find it funny and some of the younger posters that we hav around here take it personally. Just let it be, and move on.

Ever since Tiger hooked up with Ella Norstrom? his swedish girlfriend, he's been playing like he left his clubs at home.
