Nice catch Canseco!

Right at this moment in time, Mike Minor is # 1 on my shit list.

I could have picked up Haren to spot start today, BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Should of, could of, would of.....

Washington is red hot and can do no wrong right now, you know...like the opposite of the Rangers right now

Only a real Punto of a guy would slide into 1st on a single to center.

It's so silly when some guy has to have his little trademark. :rollseyes:

I have Roark going in game 2 today, so there is hope. He is the hottest pitcher that few have ever heard of.

Playoffs?


PLAYOFFS?

Both Jim Mora and I find this word amusing......

Exactly, bounced right off his "head."

That was awesome...Dude just curls up.

Congrads to Freeman getting RBI #100 today

Here is a link to a story that I found interesting, and I hope others do as well. That said, it is a LONG read, so be forewarned. It is all about how, according to one biomedical engineer, we as humans have reach the limit on how fast we can throw a baseball.

Enjoy ( I hope )

Would asking for a Chris Johnson homer as a follow up be asking too much?

I second this......

Johnson might hit 2 more HR this season....He makes a living slappy singles to the opposite field.....sort of what the braves would want BJ to do

If you haven't tried the jalapeno Snyder's pretzel pieces, DON'T! You won't be able to stop.

Lost in last weeks Marlins/Braves dust up about admiring ones shot, comes this video of the homer that started the whole thing. You have probaly seen this already. However, this shot is from the angle of where the ball landed.

And, it landed in little Johnny Buttfingers nut sack. Ouch.

Actually, I think what really started it all was when Chris Johnson ripped a line out to LF. He then turned around and said something like "you call that a fastball" in Jose Fernandez' direction.

That came after this homer.

Understood. I guess I will live with the knock and run scored then.

On a related note, I wonder if anyone has ever lead a major stat catagory after being basicaly a throw in to a much larger deal/trade?

One league I won the playoffs last week. Still trying to figure out why the season is already over.

Another I went 2-8 last week. Finished 1/2 game behind the third place team and tied with the the team I played last week. Top 4 go to the playoffs and the first tie breaker is last week record.

Yes, but this is why Fernandez spit in Johnson's direction after his HR. He was miffed at Johnson for what he said earlier.
