...can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

it's rutledge and featherston.

clearly, he's on HGH. look at his head now.

well, now i know what it took to get me rootin' for hamilton again.

i want him to do well because it benefits the angels, but i don't particularly like his annual attitude. that article does more to annoy me, than to make me feel any kind of hope for his performance.

i love how some people are taking this piss seriously, while others are seriously taking a piss.

i don't think there's anything wrong with that intrinsically. it's all fair and balanced. having said that, baseball isn't going to get rid of divisions. because as in all american sports divisions create rivalries and rivalries create interest. marketing, end of story.

as long as we continue to bring in new talent with promise both into the system pipeline and also up to the major league team, then i give very little regard to our ranking. i just want to see cost controlled young players playing useful and valuable roles within the organization and specifically the mlb team, that is my only concern.

if he's fat like trout prepare yourself for the greatest pitching season in history.

it's the new math. if you have 100 baseballs and i take away ten. how many baseballs do you have? the answer is none. you either have all the balls or none of them. if you don't have the balls, then you have no balls.

none of this matters in the least because there will never be agreement on any single dimension of the game, but i'd be ok with a rule keeping the fielders on their respective sides of 2nd base. the stewards of the game always have to be aware of the entertainment value of the game and many factors have swung the pendulum way in favor of the pitcher at this point, and i think a little market correction is probably in order. i believe the league average era last year was something like 3.7, and that's pretty low from an entertainment standpoint. understanding that the vast majority of fans do like to see a little more scoring.

perhaps i'm confused, but how can arod put up better numbers than albert if he plays 70 games or less?

he's posting our current options at keystone without using their names, offering four poll options.

The baseball season in America is long and grueling.

slow your roll strad, i was here first.

3 years for that mets pitcher to come back from tommy john. that's a tough road for a kid. wish him the best. angels and royals got two on the list, which while nice is utterly meaningless. it sure is a few steps ahead of where the farm system used to be.

he hasn't in years, even with the ballpark advantage. his legs are toast. so much so, that steroids can barely help him. ...and i'd actually bet you, if you weren't just using that word generically.

bonds and arod together at last. it's a simple example of the forces of mutual attraction.

yeah, but that's basketball, or rather i should say, that's NBA. all you need is a great player or two and you're competing for a championship.

i've had aoki in my fantasy leagues a few times and he does a nice job of getting me some solid bench production. plus when he's hot, he's scorching. now, back to real life and your regularly scheduled programming.

ahhh, i see.

tank, if you're really having lunch with the amazing johnathan, tell him thanks for the good times and the memories. i know that he has little time left and i appreciated his massively in bad taste humor. the world needs more of it.

you set 'em up and i'll knock 'em down.

he asked them to let him go play. so, they did.

as long as they have nice personalities, and don't weigh over 122 lbs.
