yup....if anybody should have been tossed, it should have been the tampa pitcher for plunking AJ

I'm guessing that's from his slide the other night. AJ deserves to get hit as far as I'm concerned. like, every time he comes up. he's a huge tool

Zack Wheeler, the pitching prospect acquired from the San Francisco Giants for Carlos Beltran, is dominating hitters in the minors with a fastball in the range of 94-97 mph

"Wheeler reminds me of a right-handed Matt Moore -- he's that good," said one evaluator recently. "He's got really easy gas -- tremendous stuff.

we gave him away for nothing. fuck me. :x

it doesn't hurt. you insinuated earlier that teams that spend more will almost always be in the hunt for playoff spots come august/sept. that's just not true.

we don't always agree, but I do enjoy discussing sports with you

it was related to an article someone posted last week ... i do think that the top 10 teams in payroll will be in the playoff picture this year come aug/sept

and to your point about the umps ... the umping has been down right atrocious this year ...

regardless, you can't let tampa hit a guy, plunk a guy and then toss the sox pitcher for throwing behind a ray batter

i have the radio broadcast on, much better annoucers

This should be interesting if it ever advances to the point of charges being filed.

http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/ ... r-mccourt/

In light of (a) the exorbitant salaries curiously paid via Dodgers charities; (b) the almost total lack of income taxes paid by the McCourts; and (c) the McCourts’ habit of using the Dodgers like a personal piggy bank, complete with huge salaries paid to the McCourt children for do-nothing jobs, one should not be too surprised by this news:

A federal grand jury is investigating possible criminal financial misconduct of the Dodgers and related entities during the ownership of Frank and Jamie McCourt, a person familiar with the matter told The Times.

Authorities have requested documents from representatives of each of the McCourts, the person said. The investigation started early last year and appears to be focused on the accounting and propriety of Dodgers spending, the person said.
Hey, second time I get to use the Sad Frank face today. Good times. Well, for us that is. Frank McCourt and his ex-wife are probably in a whole mess of trouble.

Anyone notice that the NL East and Al East are about the same (look at the standing, last place team is like 3 games out of first)? Also the AL Central and NL Central are almost identical. Guess the same can be said with the AL West and NL West as well :think:

Same thing happened to a Blue Jays pitcher last week. Alvarez came inside on a batter with a 1-2 fastball and got ejected. He had just given up three home runs and the umpire assumed that he was trying to hit the batter.

Soler is officially a free agent. Would love the yanks to sign him

Ouch. Can't be worse than Howey Kendrick hurting himself after he hit a walk-off grand slam a couple years ago.
