Artie not sleeping?

[Edgy MD]

Jamie Moyer signs a minor league deal with the Roccos.

Forty-nine.

[Edgy MD]

Moyer took the loss for the Cubs in the last game at Wrigley before they installed lights.

[metirish]

Jamie Moyer years ago when he was starting out, notice way back then he was a righty.

[Frayed Knot]

Lefties hadn't been invented yet when he first started.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wonder if Walzl's Imperial Portrait Studios is still in business.

Edgy, you're in Baltimore. Maybe you could swing by there on your lunch hour!

[Frayed Knot]

It's even on Eutaw Street, that's right where Camden Yards sits.
Coincidence? ... I don't think so!

What tipped you off?

Jaime Moyer started the first non-local-team game I ever attended (Phils-Cubs at the Vet in '87... versus Don Carman, I think). I would love to take a 9-year-old YoungerHopefullyStillNotAPooper to see that guy pitch a major league game.

[Edgy MD]

Big Don Carman fan here. Check out that slide step.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Why he's using the slide step in a friendly "hey, let's play ball in our pajamas" sleepover ballgame, we'll never know.

[Edgy MD]

They will for the Series, though.

[Frayed Knot]

[Guest attgig]

Fielder a tiger.
9 years. 214 mil.

If Victor didn't get hurt, does he get this deal?

Damon's an interesting fit if he's willing to take a lesser/mentoring role.

[Edgy MD]

Pierre's an interesting fit if he's willing to take a lesser/gift shop role.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Pierre would work in the gift shop?

Born to mentor.

was a decent enough book actually.

who's he mentoring? Daniel Murphy?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oswalt to Cardinals.

[smg58]

The fact that the Mets are looking for a lefthanded outfielder makes dropping F-Mart very curious. We're going to need to free up another spot on the 40 to make room for one anyway (unless Nieuwenhuis makes the team), so why not sign one of these guys to a minor-league contract at least give Martinez the chance to play his way onto the club or off the roster in Spring Training?.

Cardinals still denying that even as various reports claim the two sides are close to a deal.

It behooves them to do so right now. They've got five vet starters returning (Wainwright, Carpenter, Garcia, Westbrook, and Lohse), so why spook the horses about a role change until contracts are signed?

[ashie62]

And lefty Chris Young is still out there.

[Edgy MD]

The CY I know is righthanded.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Perhaps he means "elitist left-leaning Ivy Leaguer" Chris Young.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Except that Chris Young is openly Republican.
