Depending on the investment cost, that could be an expensive snack.

I once talked to a friend's brother's cousin who once knew a player who talked to a guy in the bigs who thought someone was wrong on the Internets.

I saw Carlton Fisk eatin a ham sammich in Charlotte NC and got his autograph...He said I would be in the Major Leagues one day if I put my mind to it-that proves that all catchers are liars.

Let's not forget the chump I taunted from the two dollar seats.



We even unfurled a banner that read "Smash your balls, against the walls, Larry Stahl". Gee, he was awful. And yes I was there when Preston Gomez pulled the plug on the no-hitter. But, hey, we had the Chicken, and the Dodgers and Jigantes didn't.

Tim Timmons was a busy boy yesterday. He got himself 5 ejections! Way to go, Tim!!!

Two for Royals catcher Miguel Olivo and White Sox pitcher DJ Carrasco for fighting, one for Ozzie Guillen for being his usual jerk self by arguing the fighting ejection, and two more for Royals pitcher Zack Greinke and Manager Trey Hillman for throwing at a batter.

All in all, a pretty good day at the ballyard!

Can't be that good a day when your crew chief had to issue an apology for wrongfully throwing the pitcher....

Still a good day. I don't know why umpires these days feel they have to go around apologizing all the time. Timmons made a judgment call, so what's to apologize for anyway? Ozzie went nuts and earned his ejection, because as much as I love the Sox, Ozzie is and Ozzhole.

REI...why not put the sunglasses in your ball bag-that way they will be handy whether you are at the dish or on the bases?
Yes, very handy for those who wear a ball bag on the bases.


Yes. Wear your ball bag while working the bases. That's a nice look. Don't forget your between inning snacks too.

You mean to tell me that you didn't recognize sarcasm when it was staring you in the face?
