    Just out of curiosity, would this kid see AZ this season?

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think Balfour is the second coming of Catfish Hunter or anything, but he's pitched one inning. Too little info to make a judgement one way or the other. And didn't he top out at 94mph? edit: didn't watch yesterday's game. I didn't know he pitched again. My bad.

    I believe the Cubs have won 19 of 23 which is like .826 winning percentage. Extrapolate that out to a full season and its 133 wins. There's no way in high Hades they keep this up.

    If it's a position player, it might be Gwynn with Hall set to return soon. Can they send Balfour down? I thought he was out of options.

    'Queen' can be considered a slur against gays. I can see why they got tossed.

    Balfour has great stuff. He made one bad pitch the other night. I don't know where the word 'overmatched' comes from. Even Cordero gets hit once in a while.

    This is almost certainly fake, but it cracks me up every time I watch it. my.break.com/media/view.aspx?ContentID=333231

    I remember that. One of the best threads we ever had over there. He's national? I thought he was just local in DC. OK, well I had dinner with him in Vegas once. Nice guy but he seemed to get upset when he wasn't the center of attention.

    Here's the press release: Jeff Grayson has been hired as host for Brewers Live pre- and post-game shows on FSN Wisconsin it was announced today. A 21-year veteran in sports television, Grayson is an Emmy-Awarding winning sportscaster, who will team with Brewers Live reporter Craig Coshun and analyst Dave Nelson to cover all of the station?s telecasts of Brewers baseball. Grayson joins the FSN Wisconsin team after serving for 12 years (1993-2005) as the sports anchor for FOX?s KMSP-TV in Minneapolis . At KMSP, Grayson won two Emmy Awards and was once named Best Sports Anchor by Minneapolis City Pages. Since 2005, Grayson has done work for the Timberwolves, Vikings, and Wild as well as worked in radio and written magazine columns. Grayson is a native of the Milwaukee area, graduating from Wauwatosa East High School and UW-Milwaukee. He passionately followed the Brewers, Bucks and Packers in his formative years. During college at UW-Milwaukee, Grayson worked behind the scenes as a sports producer under Tom Pipines at WITI-TV and stayed at the now-FOX affiliate in Milwaukee from 1986-1990. In 1990, Grayson moved to WBAY-TV in Green Bay and covered Wisconsin sports there until 1993, winning a Milwaukee Press Club Award (Best Sports Program) and a Wisconsin Associated Press Award (Best Feature). Grayson also learned the media business from his father who worked at WBBM Radio in Chicago and was doing post-game interviews in the Milwaukee Braves clubhouse on the night Hank Aaron ' s home run gave the Braves the 1957 National League Pennant.

    1) The former head coach from the Vancouver Cannucks once tried to get a female coworker of mine to go back to his room with him. 2)Hung out with the huge black guy from the movie Summer School (Where've you been? My zipper got stuck). He was also in The Program and his dad is former Packer Willie Davis. 3) Saw Pete Rose at Nine Steakhouse in Vegas during march madness and jokingly asked who he liked in some obscure game and he went on for ten minutes on each team's strenghts and weaknesses. 4) Asked a girl at a bar in Phoenix if she was Jenna Jameson. She said no, left, and then the bartender told me that is really was Jenna Jameson. 5)Once dated a girl who's boyfriend before me was Darryl Hall from Hall and Oates. There have been lots of run ins with Milwaukee celebs (i.e. KB from WKLH and Czabe from Lazer, Vince Vitrano at channel 4, and Paul Piaskowski from CBS news) but I don't count those.

    I have no idea who Blue Cheer is/was - I'll give Gyp credit on this one.

    Leigh Stephens.

    All I know is if I had teenagers, I'd steer them to mydeathspace so they could see how many kids die from car accidents and drug OD's.
  14. homer
    Well relative to the Cubs every one in the league is slumping.
  15. homer
    Not sure if this is apples to apples, but LAA just sent Ervin Santana down to AAA.

    I'd probably donate it to charity.
  18. homer
    Kinda looks like Ted Nugent......does he have a brother in the music industry?
  19. homer
    I don't think one game or a handful of situations signifies anything different in Ned. If it becomes habit, then I'll agree.

    Including the minors, Gallardo has about 106.1 innings so far this year. Worst case scenario has Sheets out 6 weeks which is what....at most 12 starts? Probably less but if Gallardo pitches 7 innings per 12 starts that's 84 innings which puts him at 190.1 - on the very upper threshold of what you want for him this year and probably too much. Not to mention that he is either shut down after Sheets returns or he goes over his innings cap. Neither would be good. Of course, this assumes that Sheets is out six weeks and that Gallardo averages 7 innings - neither is a given. I suppose you could swap in Villanueva here and there or later on in August to keep the Gallardo innings down. That might be the best option.

    The Far Side cartoonist - Gary Larson?
  22. homer
    If Prince was suspended, I'd want him to do the honorable thing and serve it while he was completely healthy.
  23. homer
    It was more his back than the actual shoulder itself.
  24. homer
    Arroyo has been pitching very well of late. His last five starts are much more reminiscent of his breakout 2006 than the rest of the year. Last five starts: 35 2/3 Inn. 25K/7BB 2.60 ERA 1.18 WHIP I'm not sure if I'd sign him to a longterm deal since he was abused last year and is already 30 years old but as a late season fill- in and contributor for 2009 I could get behind the idea for the right players. Frankly, I think it would take more than X's proposal though - at least in terms of prospects (maybe add Cain, Gillespie, or Gamel in addition to Escobar or in place of Spurling).
  25. homer
    Sheets has not had any shoulder or elbow problems at all. I'd risk it in a heartbeat.
