Minneapolis Lakers makes perfect sense. LA Lakers? Not so much.

New Orleans Jazz? Ahh, very clever. Utah Jazz? Hmmm...do they know what jazz is there?

Vancouver Grizzlies? I get it, they are saying there are a lot of bears up there, right? Memphis Grizzlies. Bears everywhere are still scratching their heads at that one?

Hollins is a fine fifth outfielder-type -- he can backup all three outfield slots, and hit an occasional home run.  But he is ill-suited to regular action because he makes outs at the same clip as TPJ.  Maybe with Guillen's suspension, he might squeeze out a few more days in the majors before heading down to Omaha or parts unknown.

Proceeds go to Oxfam.  Current bid = $30,200... any takers?

Half of what we post is only intended as teenage bathroom humor.

Denny was commenting on how Greinke seemed to be content to just do his work; i.e., throw all of his pitches, just getting in his work, even if some weren't working yet. He was sorta alluding to this NOT being how Greinke would approach a regular season game.

I think this is exactly why NYRoyal says ST stats are meaningless.

To me, they might be meaningless for guys who are assured of making the team, but perhaps a bit more than that for guys trying to make the team. (Although facing guys "just getting in their work" could definitely skew their results as well)

also, loved royalsretro question about whether this game even exists.

sitting in Trusts and Estates learning about reciprocal wills as contracts.  sigh.

I mean, Nunez does have some upside, especially compared to Tomko, right?

Everybody agree that to get where we want to go, some of the guys with upside need to be given a chance to develop?

Personally, I think Nunez HAS to make this team. The only sensible alternative, besides one of those fake injuries, would be to trade him. Problem with that is you don't always get full value for "upside", and if you're wrong, its a really bad setback for a low revenue team.

How long will we continue to pay for that pathetic 15 year ownership period of Glass (94-07)?

I'm giving him credit for changing his spendthrift ways now - but it looks like we aren't done paying a price for it yet!

Perhaps he will be traded at the end of ST - that would be acceptable, assuming GMDM gets value for him.

I'd love to see a post of her mocking the other so-called major league; i.e. the NL.

We are now 4-0 vs the NL!
