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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Balta1701 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The Cubs are going to regret the Soriano contract and so many ways.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Lemon Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.

santo=dorf Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 While I was waiting to purchase my new car today, some old guy started talking to my dad about baseball.

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.
