    I've never even noticed that. where have you noticed it? that is weird

    I know for a fact the A's do and I think the Diamondbacks do as well. There a few and it looks really funny. Have been meaning to ask this for a while and I just thought of it.

    huh, interesting. only thing i can think of is maybe the way the sun hits the dugout. maybe sun in those stadiums shines into the 1b dugout. that's my best guess...Ariz has a retractable roof so that guess kinda sucks

    I read he may ask for Matt Holliday money but that will not happen. My guess would be 5 years $13 mil a year, something along those lines.[/quote]

    Funny thing is that crawford is much better than holiday. But teams continue to overpay for hrs and rbi[/quote]

    Career OPS for Crawford is .780....this year it is .866
    Career OPS for Holiday is .930....this year it is .912

    I don't think it is only hrs and rbi.

    I think some of it has to do with there might be less sun on that side of the field. Don't hold me to it, but I'm pretty sure I read that or heard that on a broadcast once.

    Interesting, that is what Fixer was thinking as well. I just always find it odd to see the home team on that side.

    Classy move by Suanders to now change his number to 34, Adenhart's number with LAA

    the jays have their home dugout on the 3rd base side ... my theory is that most pitchers are right handed ... therefore they are facing the 3rd base dugout ... it's a lot easier to catch if pitchers are tipping their pitches ...

    anyhoo - i know they won't make the playoffs - but the jays are having a great season ... our new canadian gm is doing a great job in trades for brandon morrow, fred lewis and now yunel escobar ... this team can hit ... pitching depth is not great otherwise i think we could be pretty close ...

    I'm biased since I think matt holiday blows. He is a butcher in LF while crawford is the best LF in baseball (I'll never forget the playoff game in '08 that he blew for the cards when he dropped the flyball in LA). I'd take crawford every time over holiday. I wonder how their WAR compare

    Exactly the same last year at 5.5. Holiday has him beat in 08 and 07 and crawford has him beat in 06. Holliday was helped out by Coors Field though.

    there you go. holiday does one thing better than crawford...hit for power. crawford is the better player, but holiday will make more.

    Great decision for Baltimore, I am a big fan of Showalter. Too bad he has to work for Angelos.

    C'mon, man. This is the same blase' attitude that got us in trouble from the second week of April on. Let's get that division lead first.

    With that said, I'm going huuuuuge with my playoff tailgates this year.

    I would rather slam my dick in a car door than see the Kings of Leon live again.

    Wanted to go to Petty, didn't feeling like paying $120 a ticket though.

    eh...think we discussed this, but I saw them a few times last fall. decent show, but their setlists contain mostly their worst songs. I'm done with them until they go back to music that doesn't suck.

    concerts are always fun though...if the band sucks you just drink more and intentionally sing the wrong words. at least that's what I do

    120?! Ffffffuck that. I'm sure it would be a good time, but fudge that. And KOL do not deserve playing the places they are playing. I like them and all, though that last album has almost made them fall out of any kind of relevance with me, but they shouldn't be playing the WFC or Spectrum for 50 bucks or whatever those tickets are going for. But hey, I can't knock them for listening to their PR and marketing people to do what was needed to make a ton of money.

    my brother is in the fan club, so he got tix for 90. I don't blame you guys though. If he didn't get tix ahead of time I would have passed

    can't go wrong with petty, even if he does look like alice cooper at this point
