    3 hits through 5 for Figs. That's one hometown/comeback kid who is awfully easy to root for.

    Hi. I'm NASCAR non-legend Greg Biffle. I'm here to talk to you about bunting. It's for losers.

    I'm currently getting freakin' schooled in my first H2H league. Sad, sad state of affairs. It's a 20-team league with a bunch of people some of whom claim not even to know much about baseball and they're rocking my world weekly. Everyone on my team is hurt or cold (except Bill Hall, who seems to be cooling off). Not good times.

    How this isn't a slam dunk for Keith is beyond me.

    Nice game by Figueroa. I was really pulling for him.

    What a throw by Schneider to gun the speedy Victorino! That was hot.

    Does that mean you're going to injure one of us and then sit out 1/3 of every season from now on?

    HD is so good for watching sports. It's like switching from black and white to color. Amazing. There are a lot of nice TVs out there these days, but a friend of mine has the 46" Sony LCD, and it's really nice. I have a smaller Panasonic plasma, which is the right size for my house and has a really nice picture, but is a much heavier TV and doesn't have the PC input. My friend can watch downloaded movies and tv shows in HD just by plugging the TV into his laptop as a second monitor--amazing.

    Now that is a bigass trade. Who's Florida playing at 3rd?

    I think there's a bigger gap between dumbass-evangelic-christian and neo-nazi than anyone's letting on here. There's plenty to bitch about without getting on the Church-is-practically-John-Rocker train.

    Yeah, actually, I'm starting to hate this. Thanks for ruining my rosy outlook.

    ="Benjamin Grimm"]Mota's departure had nothing to do with this trade. Well, it had at least a little to do with it. The Mota/Estrada trade was 1 part salary dump, 1 part Mota dump, and 1 part acquisition of a question mark of a defensive liability catcher who could be the other part of your two-headed catching monster in a pinch, but could just as easily be non-tendered if a better deal came along. A better deal came along. Not a full-on good deal (and, indeed, taking a longer look at Milledge's stats now that I'm home from work, I feel less good about this, but still mostly in the realm of alright-to-on the fence. Assuming there's still a deal for pitching in the works.) So, sure, Mota wasn't part of this trade, but there have been many, many less related transactions than this one and the Mota trade.

    Huh. Maybe I am as irrationally optimistic as my wife says, but I don't hate (or even especially dislike) the trade. It's not what I had in mind for Milledge, but in the absence of better offers, they essentially turned Mota (ugh) and Milledge into Church (meh) and an honest-to-god platoon at catcher. Hell, they had me at "Mota's gone." Now, there had better be some pitching on the way from somewhere (or else they're really in for it; I may even de-lurk for a real bitch-fest! That'll show 'em!), but I think Milledge's potential was overstated, he got hurt every season, and he had a real gift for alienating teammates and employers alike. I'll miss the kid, but I don't feel like a chunk of the sky just hit me in the head.
