Hope he gets his want. Because I'm rooting for the Braves and because he's really working unlike, say, a Carl Pavano.

 

If he is healthy the NL is really going to be tough as the Mets, D'Backs, Dodgers, and Reds are all vastly improved.

And on top of that, the Brewers are a year more experienced and have tasted failure once...the Phillies have strengthened their pitching staff, the Rockies are a year more experienced (Ubaldo Jiminez anyone?), St. Louis could get Carpenter back at Midseason and can throw Glaus and his needles in behind Pujols, the Astros added Tejada to what looks like a potent lineup, etc.

 

Both leagues have a few teams that you can just sort of say "They're probably out of it" like the A's, Giants, Pirates, etc., but otherwise, as usual, most teams have plenty of reason to hope at this point.

Scott Spezio of the Cardinals seems to be facing some fairly serious charges stemming from an alcohol related car accident in Irvine, CA in late December. Could face up to 2 years in jail.

 

Yeesh, what is it with these Cardinals?

At least she didn't "fall down the stairs," or "run into a doorknob."

i just have this feeling that Soriano is going to have a bad year. A year that will make even the most die-hard Cub fans question his contract

They did last year when he started off soooo slowly. Wasn't he injured last year as well?

Not my friends that are Cubs fans. No way, they thought he was the second coming of Willie Mays, and centerfield was going to be a piece of cake

If Pinella is smart, he'll put him back at 2b and leave him there.

The Cubs are going to regret the Soriano contract and so many ways. And unless they eat a lot of it, they will never be able to trade him. But he does put fat yuppy asses in the seats.

Not at Wrigley he doesn't. They sold out before him, and they would sell out if he never played again.

The year before they signed him, there were empty seats at the end of the season at Wrigley (gasp!). He was signed to be there new Sammy. Maybe he does not put names in the seats as he was an olive branch after a miserable season.

Fielder unhappy with his contract.

I really want to like this guy, probably because I liked his father Cecil. But after I watched that show E:60 on ESPN and the way he refuses to talk to his dad, he makes me sick.

From what I hear, it's Cecil's fault as much as it is Prince's.

I'm watching the Yanks-Twins spring training game on espn right now. Heath Phillips came on to pitch the top of the third. He exhibited pin-point control on the corners and when he threw down the middle, his pitches really fell off the table. As a result, he has thus far gotten two grounds outs and one k. I never saw him pitch when he was w/ the Sox organization.

Attendance doesn't work like that up north. The reason the park sells 98%+ of their seats every year are the sun, the beer, and the attractive young professionals wearing minimal clothing as a result. Further, you can fall in just about any direction in that neighborhood and land in a beer garden.

 

Wrigley Field typically slows down a bit at the end of September. College kids go back to school, younger kids are focusing on their own studies, parents refocus on work, the weather is less consistent as October approaches, the team is officially out of it, etc.

 

If they even have a remote chance of winning something come end of September, the place is going to be packed.

While I was waiting to purchase my new car today, some old guy started talking to my dad about baseball. It turns out he was Mel Duncan, former Negro League pitcher for the KC stars.

I am pretty sure that Cecil gambled away pretty much everything he ever earned, and he put his family in some pretty bad situations because of it

Cecil is a terrible human being. Prince has every reason not to talk to him.

The only people that Cecil likes are Mrs. Butterworth, Mrs. Paul's and Aunt Jemima.

DAMMIT!

 

An incomplete joke.

 

I'm so ashamed of myself.

You also forgot the creditors in Las Vegas. Cecil is really good friends with those guys

On a February day in 1999, Cecil Fielder walked into the Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City just before noon, and filled out an application for credit.

 

Under “Income/Assets,” he included: “Salary — $5 million.”

 

Under “Other Casinos,” he listed a $100,000 line of credit at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas.

 

Trump extended Fielder a $25,000 line of credit. That money, plus whatever cash he had started with, lasted a day and a half.

 

Fielder requested, and was given, another $25,000 line of credit.

 

That was gone in two hours and 40 minutes.

 

The casino lent him $27,500 more.

 

That lasted less than 20 minutes.

 

The casino extended Fielder’s credit by another $50,000.

 

The minute-by-minute records stop there, but the file contains a total. By the time the binge was over, Fielder owed the Trump casino $580,000.

 

[...]

 

Trump officials, including Ford Palmer, vice president of casino operations, and Fred Cunningham, vice president for legal affairs, said they could not discuss the case — or a casino’s obligation, if any, when a patron may be out of control.
