Crap-- this is turning ugly fast

WTF?? Duaner!!

Jose Valentin to Crane Poolers: BITE ME.

Slow Saturday night thread

Mike Piazza with a ninth-inning 3 run homer as the surging Padres rallied to beat the fast-sinking Cubs today.

Here's hoping that Valentin's start is to showcase his versatility--and more importantly, his marketability.

A few; Hrabosky. Gorman Thomas. Dave Stewart. Kyle Farnsworth. If I had to pick one, Stormin' Gorman it is.

]I have no confidence in the guy with the Harpo hair. That's catchy.

Seeing how they play in a dome, this shouldn't affect the game.

Bucky's goatee matches the Duck's hat logo

Nice job-- that Bill Hall is one heckuva player.

Bright side: our 'pen gets another night off.

This is a perfect example of why "get-away games' should be played in the afternoon-- no way this is a lengthy delay.

]Matsui the MFY one is to have surgery tomorrow morning on his wrist, he fractured it in the first inning tonight Bye bye consecutive games played streak-- who's the active leader now?

]I bet Keith wears a pink top Does that make him a bottom?

The path of good intentions... Man denied bag says Angels discriminatedAssociated Press SANTA ANA, Calif. -- A man who was denied a red nylon tote bag during a Mother's Day promotion at an Angels baseball game has filed a sex and age discrimination lawsuit against the team. The class action claim filed by Michael Cohn, a Los Angeles psychologist, alleges that thousands of males and fans under age 18 are entitled to $4,000 in damages each because they were treated unequally at last May's promotion. Women over 18 received the gifts. Angel officials said Cohn was the only person who complained about the giveaway and that the team is proud of its promotions. "Historically, we have tried to appeal on those special days that might be nationally noted holidays or special occasions," team spokesman Tim Mead said, adding he could not comment directly on the suit because he hadn't seen it. "We have tailored programs or giveaways accordingly." The team responded to a complaint letter that Cohn wrote last June by sending him four tote bags and a letter stating the team "ran out of the item that day and had to order more." "They claimed they didn't have any more bags, but my client said there was a mountain of bags stacked so high a show dog couldn't have jumped over them," said Alfred Rava, Cohn's San Diego-based attorney. Cohn could not be reached for comment. This weekend's Mother's Day promotion will offer tote bags to the first 25,000 fans over age 18, rather than cater specifically to women. Mead would not say whether the change was in response to Cohn's complaint. Rava said the altered promotion still violates the civil rights of fans under age 18. Cohn's suit names as defendants the Angels and the Corinthian Colleges, which sponsored the event through an affiliate.

Wags, upset that Edgy has stripped him of the, "Tug McGraw Memorial Goofy Reliever" roster slot, makes his case to reclaim the title: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2436959

Lo Duca was hot from the balk call-- watch the way he fires the ball back to Lima shortly after that BS. Not surprised he exploded at all.

]And perhaps his legacy as a parallel to Bruce Berenyi will be pure even until the end. I was thinking more Tim Leary than Bruce Berenyi-- unless VZ is gay.

Making a decision in May is stupid. Let's see how he finishes this contract year before talking about next.

]we had only like eight hours of sleep." Sigh......and people wonder why multimillionaire athletes get booed.

I'm not overly enthused about any of our three starters this series-- to win this one with those guys on the hill would be sweet.

And of course, Punch-n-judy hitters are often refered to as "punchless". go figure

]And, unlike in the past when Mike Piazza was behind the plate, the Mets are not in danger of having an equally marvelous opponents' stolen base percentage If only this were true.
