"Tick, tick, tick… by midnight on Monday, the Washington Nationals will have either gotten San Diego State pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg under contract, or not."

"My hunch is that the two sides will find common ground. But that's all it is: A hunch. Understandably, both sides are very carefully protecting the figure to which they'll actually agree."

Temper Tantrums
During his career Dibble often was known for his temper. After one game, he threw a baseball into the outfield seats at Cincinnati and struck a lady. He was also involved in a brawl in 1991 with Astros shortstop Eric Yelding. That same season he was caught attempting to throw a baseball into the back of Cubs outfielder Doug Dascenzo as he ran down the first base line. Finally, Dibble was involved in a locker room brawl with Reds manager Lou Pinella after a game. In a turn back the clock game against the Mets at Shea Stadium in 1992, Dibble after giving up a homer to Bobby Bonilla took himself out of the game but not before ripping the old timers jersey off before leaving the field.
Really? I would've had no idea he had anger issues

I am not tired of that replay of da Judge taking home AT ALL!
I think I could watch that play 100 times in a row. NICE!

Yep, The hammer came to play today.
I have completely changed my opinion of him from the start of the season.
