11/12, Myers is AL ROY, Fernandez takes NL ROY

And, with NBA changes seemingly being no big deal, you would think this would have been addressed YEARS ago.

Oh well. It could be worse. They could be called the Pelicans...............

I like the pelicans. now my 2nd team will finally be called the hornets again in 2014! can't wait.

A free Byrd no longer. Funny how this guy had to hit 30 before he got any kind of good, and, he has just gotten better ever since.

The Mike and Ike Show on 94WIP in Philly is reporting that the Phillies will sign Marlon Byrd Ken Rosenthal has confirmed the deal. Adam Rubin of ESPN New York.com reports that the deal is for two years, $16 million.
Byrd, who is 35, hit .291/.336/.511 with 24 homers and 88 RBI for the Mets and Pirates. His right-handed power is scarce on the market and, after last season, when many teams passed, he may be a more attractive target than most people’s gut may tell them. Sure, Granderson, Choo, Cruz and some others will be better, but they’ll also cost more. Corey Hart has health questions. Raul Ibanez is ancient. Carlos Beltran probably wants to go to a winner and is increasingly becoming immobile. And remember: the Phillies gave nearly 300 plate appearances to Delmon Young last year, so this is a sharp upgrade.
Byrd will be returning to the franchise which drafted him in 1999 and for whom he played in the majors from 2002 through the early part of 2005. $16 million is a lot of money, but we’re in a world where a lot of players will be making a lot more money than we might expect them to. The real key isn’t the money: it’s whether spending the money prevents the Phillies from doing other things they want to do.

And here we have the first BAD contract of the off-season. The Phillies wanted a RH bat, and there weren't many choices, but I would have gone with Mike Morse for what would have been a similar or less contract. Maybe even taken a chance on Chris Young, who hits better from the right side.

Byrd was released by the Sox last season and then was suspended for PED's. Then..lo and behold, he has a good season at 35? Does something not smell right?

Ruben Amaro Jr. should be fired immediately.

I am just now seeing that people here had to work yesterday. And, that is just plain wrong.

How about a new visual for the term "fuzzy navel"? hehehe
And why do men have pics of their hairy pierced belly buttons on the interwebz? Not cute.

75% of men should not have any pics of any body part shared with the web.

Why do peeps pierce anything but their ears? Totally gross. Pierced tongues in particular

 

[moxie]

I know so many people that have chipped their teeth with their tongue piercings. Ouch! I had my belly button done years ago then got tired of it. Have my nose done too, but it's a super small stud. I've had more than one person that I've known for years look at me quizzically and ask, "When did you pierce your nose?" to which I usually answer, "since before you met me"
