2 runners on the bases so far. It may be a valid criticism, although Mather should have been sent there. Soriano just made the play, and Lilly and Soto made the play before.

I can’t point out that he slid past the base and ended up being called out because of it?

we’re seeing a lot of OF’s go back toward the fence, only to come in to catch the ball. It may be the reason Mather was out at home—Soriano had a lot of momentum toward the plate.

they let winfield choose because he had more than one reasonable option. boggs choosing the devil rays had nothing to do with baseball.

by blahquaker on Aug 8, 2008 4:19 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

From Wikipedia

Before his retirement, Boggs was plagued by newspaper reports that the expansion Devil Rays gave him financial compensation in return for selecting a Devil Rays cap for his plaque at the Baseball Hall of Fame, though he has denied that any such condition was part of his contract. In light of those reports (and other rumors that teams were offering number retirement, money or organizational jobs in exchange for the cap designation) the Hall decided in 2001 to change its practice of deferring to players wishes regarding cap logo selection, and reinforced the Hall’s authority to determine with which cap the player would be depicted. The Hall decided that Boggs would eventually be depicted wearing a Boston cap for his 2005 induction, despite his acrimonious relationship with Red Sox management. During the Hall of Fame player introductions of the 2008 All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, he decided to wear the Yankees cap instead.

What really makes me want to puke is that, apparently, we’re still paying edmonds salary.

According to Cot’s Baseball contracts, the Cubs are only paying him league minimum while we’re still picking up $2M.

Edmonds signed as a free agent 5/14/08 (Chicago pays pro-rated portion of $0.39M ML minimum – about $0.29M – with SD paying about $5.71M and St. Louis paying $2M)

No, No

it would be unfair to give Perez a job he has had for his entire professional career.

He should have been closing a long time ago.

I am fine sticking with Perez now, but K-Mac should have been closing for a month now.

Jeff "Albert Who?" Samardzija

would disagree with you.

In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
