I had both those as well as the McDonald's Browns "cards" back in the day. Sadly, I can't tell you of their fate today. <BR/><BR/>I will say if I ever see a racehorse aptly named Tom E. Hawk I will pick it. <BR/><BR/>Of course, that just means everyone else shoud avoid that horse if they want to save money...Kid Clevelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444320742896092896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-2773404901848750242007-08-05T12:16:00.000-04:002007-08-05T12:16:00.000-04:00As an out of towner that can't afford any type of ...As an out of towner that can't afford any type of MLB packages, I had a chance to see Aaron (great first name) Fultz pitch for the first time on Friday. Does he know that in baseball, unlike golf, it is OK to bend the right elbow? I would pick up the option on all three, but I still don't want Borowski closing next year.<BR/><BR/>Casey Blake is now hitting .162 with RISP...that is abismal...it is thirty points lower than anyone else with at least 100 plate appearences this year...how can Wedge possibly justify hitting him anywhere near Sizemore (sometimes I see him penciled in as the 2 or 3 hitter and it drives me nuts).Rockdawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392724225649893240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-19925045104093486192007-08-04T14:35:00.000-04:002007-08-04T14:35:00.000-04:00damn, i think i'm getting mets/cubs! missed last ...damn, i think i'm getting mets/cubs! missed last nights game due to a 8 hour craps marathon at NYNY and LONG flight home. at least i have hammy....unless my internet connection dies. then i will be forced to tap my hammy bobblehead doll (courtesy of PC, can't thank you enough) and listen to him make the calls as i wait for someone to txt updates on my phone.Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-16854155149250647362007-08-04T13:31:00.000-04:002007-08-04T13:31:00.000-04:00I think they should get Royce Clayton who was DFA'...I think they should get Royce Clayton who was DFA'd to replace Rouse. He's a good fielder and can get hot once in a while at the plate.<BR/><BR/>I say pick up all three. Byrd has earned his money this year and no sense opening up holes in the bullpen that (as we fond out earlier this week) are hard to fill. Borowski's ERA is high, and my blood pressure is too when he pitches, but the saves % is pretty damned good. Eliminate that Yankee game early in the year (which I had the misfortune to be at) and one or two others and the ERA comes down too. <BR/><BR/>On the FOX picture of Laffey. I'm sure it was a mistake (incompetence) not a diss. I would comment more on the fairness, balance AND accuracy of the FOX News organization but my company just got bought out by their parent company (News Corp.) this week, so I won't. Though I guess I just did. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>A-Rod just hit his 500th as I write this.

Why we haven't called up Inglett is bizarre; since Jhonny doesn't need a defensive replacement, there's no reason to say, "but Inglett can't play SS."<BR/><BR/>And I say pick up the options on Fultz and Byrd.Voltairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258794828672578619noreply@blogger.com
