• Why I Can't Be Mad At Pedro Until The Game Starts...
DB: Assuming you get there, would you wear a Red Sox cap on your Hall of Fame plaque?
PM (Pedro Martinez): I have no idea, but I would love to. Either that one or a Montreal hat. It's not up to me, it's up to the league, but I think Boston without a doubt. I'll take it.

So long, so-so Sosa.
Guess they’re going to have to sew another name onto 29 (yes, I know they don’t sew those on, but ‘iron’ doesn’t sound like ‘so’).
Poor Jorge....... when you get cut in September by a team mired in blah blah blah.......

Here you go, Roscoe.... from Chico...
“Riggleman, on the plan for Desmond: “I’ll get him some games, but as long as Guzman is healthy he’ll be playing. If his foot flares up on him that will be an opportunity to get Desmond in there, but we also have Gonzalez and Orr who will be playing up the middle. I love to see young players play, but I don’t ever want to take away the opportunity from the veterans who have been here all year… and disregard their efforts all year by planting them on the bench. Like I said, the at bats might be inconsistent.”
''...we were tied for first place for the wild card, and we can't have September call-ups. We couldn't do any trades. They didn't want us to win.''

Padilla walked into the Nats' clubhouse for the first time and said, "My God. I'm in heaven."
Riggler's not going to give him a chance....Rizzo needs to call him in to the office...

Dunn has worked out much better than I thought he would, especially as a 1B (knock on wood). If we trade him to an AL contender next year for gravy/icing, so much the better.

True, on the 1B thing.
I didn’t expect that at all. I think this is the best we can hope for at this point, as a trade deadline swap.

Yup.
I’m with both of you here. I think the slugger should be the last piece of the puzzle, once you have 6-7 other guys who can get on base with some regularity.
So does everyone except Florida...
…no, wait, good fielding? Everyone needs one.

But it is really pretty after the snow first falls. And it’s so quiet because the snow absorbs so much sound. And skiing really fast is pretty much fun, too.

Nieves for the single....
Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don’t move. - Satchel Paige
I guess I can consider Gonzalez's usual K
as a sac bunt or sac fly.
Otherwise, I just want to scream at him.

probably the best is
Gallipoli. One of Mel Gibson’s first movies…although not about Australia (but captures the usual of Australia getting smacked in a war for no apparent reason).

We had our 3+4 guys up with loaded bases….and we didnt get the hit. It’s our fail. You cant ask for a better shot than that

What's up with teh Big Dinky?
He’s not hitting worth a darn these days.

Bowden!
Can’t believe how badly he managed that last series.
Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don’t move. - Satchel Paige
He was already getting his warm milk ready for bed.
Jimbo wanted to leave no time on the clock for Miami to march on our crappy D again.
He was already really lucky that Miami
scored so fast on that last series. They left the ’Noles 2 minutes to get down field and score. But it seemed like the ’Noles kind of panicked at the end.
Too bad.
Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don’t move. - Satchel Paige
Except didn't he just have a bunch of games removed from his
wins column? Might he stick around another year to try to outdo Joe Pa?
Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don’t move. - Satchel Paige
Nope. It's sort of set up...we play his first ever team where he coached...
and we have to pay Jimbo 4 million bucks if he’s not head coach by January 10, 2011.
Need new D coaches big time. They’ll "retire after this season and we’ll make a good run next year.
In truth, there didn't seem to be much D on either side
last night.
And the season is just starting. Things could turn out a lot better for FSU before it’s all over.
