It's baseball season

“Giants just signed Aaron Rowand for 5 years.

Comments, please.”

“who?”

“Bass turds!

Great defensive center fielder. Hit a ton for the Phills this past season.

Previously with the 2005 World Champion White Sox.

I was hoping the Sox would re-sign him.”

“Baseball? whazzat?”

“There has been a lot of talk of the Giants having to trade one of their stellar young pitchers to get even a .280 or .290 hitter. So if this guy hits what he did last year, this would seem to be a pretty good alternative. But I really don't know anything about the guy.”

“Astros traded 5 to Baltimore for Tejada, we should be able to score more but after Oswalt we don't have any major league pitching.”

If you are gonna post a list at least get your facts straight.

Again, the above list is bogus albeit there is quite a bit of overlap.

“I haven't read the whole report. Is there any distinction between actual failed drug tests or "I know that guy shoots up" type of accusations?”

“Pitchers, Catchers and Injured players set to report in T-minus 5 weeks!

Five (5) more weeks, and it's baseball season!”

“The Phutiles report on Valentines Day.”

“I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger.   Then it hit me.”

“Here's a different twist on the current debacle:

Baseball Brandishes Lobbying Clout on Eve of Steroids Hearings
By Alex Knott, CQ Staff

When the commissioner of Major League Baseball testifies before Congress this week, he has to be hoping that lawmakers will be keeping their eyes on the moneyball. Baseball is far and away the biggest spender of federal lobbying cash in the sports world. Since 1998, team owners have spent more than $12 million across eight lobbying firms — twice what big-league football, basketball and hockey have spent on lobbying combined.

“I'm not a big baseball fan, but I'm married to the high school varsity coach. So I guess I better learn!

Saw the American League trophy at Tiger Fest in town last night. Dan Petry (sp?), a picther for the 84 Tigers, the current hitting coach, and a new player, Jaque Jones (sp?) were there. Too bad we didn't get Verlander, he went up to Saginaw.

Kind of a fun event, it was cool to hear them answer questions about the line up and the talent they've got.

I'll have to upload the pic of the trophy. G was excited. :)”

“Sounds like big fun!”

“20 days!

“lol

Geo - my best friend and I just booked a trip to Spring Training this year. Anytime I think of TT & Baseball, I think of you and how the Phillies let Francona go.......”

“13, and Barry Bonds still unsigned by anybody.

Yes Buddha, I am still shocked at how little Tito knew about baseball when he wore the pinstripes and how much he learned when he got to the Dead Sox.”

“This just in: Nolan Ryan to be named president of the Texas Rangers.”

“Ground Control to Major Tom.....”

“6”

“Real fans can see it.”

“Real fans are already camped out at the gates.”

“Real fans already have their tickets and don't need to camp out. First of my six games is on April 3 versus the Gnats.”

“A really real fan just left my office. Our police community relations officer who drops off crime reports just got back from the Phillies Phantasy Camp in Clearwater. That took up an interesting half hour.”

“Savannah Sand Gnats?”

“Are we ready for Thursday?”

“so which politician is throwing out the first pitch?”

“Do candidates ever get to throw out the first pitch or do they have to accomplish the bamboozlement beforehand?”

“who cares?

I do, my kids play little league....”

“Sharpen those needles and bend over.”

“oh man ----

What about the nanny in the pink bikini?”

“Hey, at least she's documented! Stay out of my personal life, Tilt!”

Asterisk on the pink bikini!”
