    Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I covered the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas in both 2005 and 2006. Don't remember which year it was, but I was perusing an art exhibition and saw a sign advertising Pete Rose and Joe Montana autograph sessions. $100 a pop. Nothing I could do but roll my eyes.

    TLR was right. There are a lot of bones in the hand.

    I'm willing to take a shot at being a Rule 5 player.

    Nobody hits homers that are more fun to watch than Prince. I will say, though, when Rickie gets hold of one, it's pretty awesome.

    It was fun watching him last night (for personal reasons, obviously, but also just as a baseball fan). He looked really nervous and tight for the first batter, but when he got him out, you could see him exhale and immediately relax. Then he just started firing the ball in there. Even though he K'ed Swanson and Wiel, I was really nervous when the PH came up with one on and two out in the 9th. The guy was 6' 4", 220 and from a place called Old Hickory. He looked like he was born to come in and hit a homer. And, as I've learned to be pessimistic as a Virginia fan, he was 1-for-15 on the season, so I just KNEW he was going to jack one. But when I saw him unable to do anything with Kirby's first slider, I knew the guy had zero chance. Ball game.

    Kirby looked great! Devastating slider. As a Virginia alum, I'm overjoyed. This program was nothing when I was in school. As a Brewers fan, I'm excited for Kirby.

    Here's an example, and a very feasible one, of how betting on his team to win when he was manager could harm his team: Rose has a bunch of money riding on his team to beat the Cubs by two runs. It's the 9th inning and though his best reliever has just thrown three days in a row, he puts him in to pitch because Rose just needs to maintain that two-run cushion. He is risking his player's health just because he, player/manager Pete Rose, bet on his team to win by a certain number of runs. Same applies for if he bet the money line, simply betting on his team to win. He might throw overworked pitchers unnecessarily in game where they are down a bunch late and not likely to win. Maybe he makes a pitcher throw an extra inning when his arm is tired. Whatever. Not only does he risk injury, but we all know that teams aren't going to win every game; managers have to manage the entire season. Even without injury, he might be managing in a way that improves his team's chances to win one game that he bet on, but hurts the teams chances in the long-term.

    Not that I have much sympathy for A-Rod, but I just don't get the point in keeping the ball if you're the guy who caught it. I can understand if it could legitimately fetch six-figures or something, but I doubt this ball is THAT valuable. In the vast majority of circumstances, I would happily give the ball to the team/player and I wouldn't ask for anything except the opportunity to meet the player, congratulate him, and have my picture taken with him. I'm sure he/the team would probably give me some memento in exchange, but whatever, I really wouldn't care.
  9. dlk9s
    I'm not positive, but I believe professional ball-hawk Zack Hample caught A-Rod's homer.

    You sound like fun.
  11. dlk9s
    I didn't even realize Joe Blanton was still a thing.

    Know what's the most exciting part about this? EVERYTHING
  13. dlk9s
    No it wasn't. We had the jokes. We had the jokes.

    Yea, I looked at you, you needed better secondary stuff. My secondary stuff was my primary stuff.

    Hopefully one day all that will change and if it does, the high school version of me will smile. : I dominated in high school. Nobody could hit me. But I was 6'1", skinny (maybe 150 lbs?), and couldn't crack 90 MPH. My brother swears that, just by how it felt when we practiced together, I was probably hitting upper-80's, but I'd be surprised by that. I probably lived in the low-to-mid 80's with my fastball and maybe, MAYBE could crank it up a couple extra MPH if I really wanted to. But hey, barely ever gave up runs and it was rare for anyone to make solid contact off of me. I also kept my mouth shut and didn't promote myself. If a college or pro scout ever looked at me, I never knew it.
  20. dlk9s
    Yeah, Kirby pretty much has to be my favorite player of all time now.
  21. dlk9s
    Well, we took another Maryland player in the 11th round. That's two in this draft. As a Virginia alum, I don't like the direction this franchise is headed.

    Quick update on Kirby: He threw against batters for the first time since April on Monday. Coach said he looked good: Sense of humor: http://www.virginiasports.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/060915aag.html
  23. dlk9s
    Could possibly pitch against Kirby, too, as Virginia and Florida are on the same side of the bracket.

    Looking at those names, I could have NEVER guessed those kids were born in the mid-late 1990's!
