    I'll preview the Orioles when we get to the World Series.

With the amount of money going into stadium design/construction, and the amount of money the new parks are counted on the generate, that sort of thing is unavoidable these days, though, innit? It's like pointing out how every food item in the truck stop is either stale or loaded with preservatives-- that's kind of the nature of the place, isn't it? He's on point and I felt this way before I ever saw brick one of Citi Field, but I'd like to hear how this is true of the place in a way that it's not true of the Great American Ballpark or Chase Field or Petco or someplace. The huge opportunity was to make a place that was everything Shea was, only betterer.

No it's not SteveJRogers wrote: Santana was on the DL missing the entire season, Perez was a million dollar arm with a 10 cent head whom we cut loose. Of all the cliches... are you really going to roll out "ten-cent head" again? Roger J. Stevens wrote: Well, when you are paying for a player that hasn't been in the organization since the previous century, and hasn't played an MLB game since around the turn of the century (and more than a decade ago now), and he is one of your highest paid players, it is quite glaring as compared to simple injuries. Steve. you're wrong about many things here. I don't know why you're going at this.

    One can be reasonably certain. Don't know how many games they'll miss, but the Yankees currently have $67.5 million dollars worth of infielders on the shelf.

    What inspired this post anyway?, seems rather random. The Bay-and-Bonilla thing keeps coming up. And I got the notion that it wasn't so unprecedented as all that, even if the extended buyout of Bonilla's deal is.

    The Mets have been here before. In 2011, their two highest paid starting pitchers were Johan Santana and Oliver Perez, neither of whom threw a pitch for them.

    Incredible. Persian Japanese --- natural baseball players

    Well, he signed with Jay-Z's agency, anyhow. ="The New York Times"]Jay-Z for Boras is a trade they would probably make any day of the week because it would seem to increase their chances of reaching a new deal with Cano, their 30-year second baseman, before his current contract expires after the 2013 season and before other teams can begin efforts to take him away.

    I'll be honest. My ability to distinguish among Jeremy Hefner, Justin Hampson, and Chris Schwinden has been compromised all along. If not for the Wifey Watch thread, they'd be one big AAAA shuttle-riding swingman abstract concept in my head. Maybe Jay Horwitz's ass needs to call Nelson Figueroa.

    It just gets more and more depressing.

    Big beer owns the YSIII concourse. "I do not say this lightly: beer snobs might be the worst people in the world. But not even they deserve to be locked in Yankee Stadium for four hours, with the only unconventional option being this dinky and confused beer stand with four drinks on tap, all behemoth-brewed by the MillerCoors conglomerate."

    Been watching for a long time, now.

    Mr. Met: "Gimme some skin... PSYCH!"

    I'm not there. I like Daniel Stern and everything associated with Breaking Away, but Home Alone seemed to give Daniel Stern license to really go for it with his physical comedy efforts, and for five years there he really left behind some unwatchable wreckage while so overperforming. This, Bushwacked, Celtic Pride. Not recalled with fondness. I think The Sandlot and Rookie of the Year get a lot more appreciation from folks who were appropriately young when these films came out. They don't work their magic on me. Maybe somebody who wasn't appropriately aged wouldn't think much of Bad News Bears. Not somebody who'd be welcome at my house, however. As uncharitable as I may seem for Bull Durham, I'd go for Wuhl here. He was one of the best things. My wife picked it up before I did, but he has that pitching coach gait mastered, where he looks like he's jogging to the mound, but he's actually progressing at a slower rate than he would he was walking.

    Was Cow-Bell Man working it big time yesterday?

    I know we have a surfeit of catchers, but a call out for Leon Carter, James Earl Jones' power hitting catcher with burning rage, the Bingo Long-universe version of Josh Gibson.

    They must be one of the harder-up teams in terms of celebrity fanbase. Probably a handful of military brass who are closet fans.
  18. Edgy MD
    He certainly gets a lot of fingerfacts wrong.
  19. Edgy MD
    It was the pinky that Cone broke bunting against Hammaker. FRAUD!!
  20. Edgy MD
    Most importantly.

    Bondy is still writing? How long does this species live, anyhow?

    The dramatic change in the fences was a year ago, and the most dramatic adjustment was in left. R.A. Dickey was not "allowed" to leave. He was traded, at a very dear price. As your colleague gets right two paragraphs down. Way to hire a hardworking blogger to get the facts straight and then embarrass him by association. "Perfect game"? Do you even know what baseball is?

    Particularly on opening day.

    With the 51s debuting as a Mets affilliate on Thursday, the roster looks something like this. Coaches Wally Backman, manager George Greer, hitting coach Randy St. Claire, pitching coach Starting Pitchers 35 Gonzalez Germen 48 Greg Peavey 36 Collin McHugh* 32 Aaron Laffey 49 Zack Wheeler* Relief Pitchers 73 Robert Carson* 79 Armando Rodriguez 40 Dylan Owen 20 Chris Schwinden 2 Carlos Torres 45 Justin Hampson Catchers 25 Kai Gronauer 29 Travis d'Arnaud* 11 Landon Powell Infielders 26 Eric Campbell 4 Wilmer Flores* 3 Omar Quintanilla 12 Brandon Hicks 5 Reese Havens 19 Zach Lutz* 8 Josh Satin 7 Brian Bixler Outfielders 34 Jamie Hoffmann 18 Juan Lagares* 21 Andrew Brown Showing only three outfielders currently, they'll have liberal chances to use likes of Lutz and Flores out there. But there's probably going to be a move or three before opening day, with a surfeit of starters over relievers, infielders over outfielders, and a third catcher. Havens may yet return to Binghamton. * = 40-Man Roster dudes.

    Fix't. Thanks. Don't post after midnight, folks.
