Raise a glass to mark the passing of longtime MLB player and coach Mike Brumley who was killed over the weekend in a massive car wreck in Mississippi. Mike was a classic punchless utility infielder but in 1987 hit the first of his three career homers off of Ron Darling.

Whether or not he's guilty, the league is slipping into a whack-a-mole situation. They have to keep the problem at bay as well as the specter contained. If the perception of honest competition is affected, MLB could lose big.

What an out-and-out mess. What a totally predictable out-and-out mess.

If I ran the team, they'd be 185-0, have dozens of hit records from this year alone, and be dressed like The Baseball Furies. The pitchers would bat, the uniform elements would be sewn on, and the manager would be a mute German guy named Ernst. Also, no "Piano Man." I figure fans would be OK with me banning that, because we'd be 185-0, and they'd also be crazy about Ernst.

I'm not confused by it.

The factors feeding into the decision are going to change drastically every day. They changed drastically with his ugly 0-for-five on Monday. They changed drastically again when he went 2-for-5 with a homer last night. The main factors, of course, we have little knowledge of, and that's the matter of what kind of deals are or will be available over the course of the middle of the season. I'm just hoping the Mets take Game Three of the series this afternoon.
-
That's correct.
-
That certainly will be part of the calculus. But we've got eight weeks, babies. A lot can and will happen in eight weeks.
-
I don't claim that MLB's relationship should excuse the players. But neither do I think that the players' poor decisions should absolve MLB from their open complicity. As for "many alternatives available," it's often the alternatives that get gamblers in the hole, intensifying the pressure to go into betting what they know in order to get out of it.
-
Sheesh, apart from Marcano, four more guys lose a year. MLB reaping what they've sown, but they don't care, because players are easier to dispose of than the profits they're getting from being in bed with gambling syndicates.
-
The Mets firstbaseman had a really ugly 0-for-5 as they barely escaped last night's game with the Nationals with an 8-7 victory. Maybe this Alonso guy is someone the Mets could acquire.

Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano facing a potential lifetime ban for gambling, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal. Apparently, the violations occurred while he was with the Pirates last season.

I think there are plenty of up and comers. At least, potentially so.
-
Well, .239 isn't really .200, but we'll see where things are at in eight weeks.

“You go out have a great year. Let's have a great year as a team, and if we do that we're both going to be set up, the organization and Pete, are going to be set up very well going into the offseason." — David Stearns

This was sort of a must-miss for us. It came off in its marketing as corporate apologetics disguised as entertainment.

A misfit high-school senior named Leon becomes convinced that he is the re-incarnation of Leon Trotsky, driving his family and school and other authorities crazy by trying to organize the masses to revolt against the system, wherever he encounters it.

Yeah, indeed, I stress the could.
-
He may well be Iglesias' replacement in Syracuse.
-
Gosh that's getting ahead of things, no?
-
I associate him with Jeff King, and Gregg Jefferies for that matter. Guys who are way too famous coming up and end up spending a good part of their big league career fighting themselves.
-
This was my first time seeing it. Tip of the fedora to Donald Sutherland, who appears after the halfway point in the movie and conveys a whole second film's worth of information in about 10 minutes.
-
The guy he brought to trial was Clay Stone, Tommy Lee Jones' character.
-
Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at. Stone can get terrific performances out of actors, including actors you'd never have guessed. To what end, though, is up in the air. He had me believing a whole bunch of stuff, and then by the end, Garrison makes a closing argument, and I'm moved to great patriotism and a deep commitment to the truth, and then he turns it over to the jury, and I'm thinking, "Nobody can convict on that. It's a big stupid mess that barely ties in anybody, let alone the guy you're prosecuting." Glad I finally saw it, though.
