Fantasy Baseball

i think that the pirates and other teams with payrolls under $50 million should be allowed to steal signs. the clip of yadier running past whoever it was on the bases yesterday was pretty funny.

Yadier was great yesterday. I'm fairly convinced that Bay was stealing signs and was doing a fairly obvious relay. Good for Yadier. Of course, Bay had the final say….
he is fun to watch, there were some quotes in an article a couple days ago from Chris Carpenter about how much all the starters love playing with him

game yesterday was painful to watch, very ugly, Cards deserved the loss

was former Pirate Abraham Nunez, who said he had no idea where the ball was or something

oh man, that dude. i swear he was on the pirates for like 7 years before they finally let him go. even worse, he was the top pinch hitter for much of that time. what a franchise.

Next time do it sooner so I can at least get a win out of Ollie! That guy has been killing me but my allegiance to the Pirates haas me holding on for dear life….

Obviously Bengie didnt see the headlock A-Rod put on the last catcher that tried to go toe to toe with him.
was that before or after the glove to the face and eventual takedown?

you know Van Slyke's kid was just drafted by the cardinals, maybe you should get over your allegiance to the pirates and come over to the cardinals, although the Van Slyke kid will most likely never see the majors

But that was just a nice gesture by the Cards. AJ was taken in the 23rd round as a junior at the University of Kansas. The younger Van Slyke (Scott) was drated in the 14th round by the Dodgers and has yet to graduate high school.

Said Andy, "I still hate the Dodgers."

Man, I miss that guy.

i caught a foul ball by van slyke at one of his pirates spring training games and got it signed by him … i loved spring time in florida, used to go to at least a couple games a week … was AVS the guy who did funny hand stuff in his batting stance?
The Pittsburgh Pirates put pitcher Oliver Perez on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, two days after he broke his toe while kicking a laundry cart in the clubhouse in St. Louis.
Perez could use the time off…..

And Hoya, if you still have that ball, let me know so I can make you an offer. AVS is where the van comes from in my screen name.

this is back when i was 9 or 10 … if i still have it it's at my folk's place with my baseball card and autograph collection … favorite autograph from spring training: running into michael jordan on my friend's neighborhood golf course and getting an autograph on a white sox hat, anyone have any clue what that's worth?

I've seen autographed UNC Jordan hats for about $60, so I'd guess around the same (unless it's game used or something).

Otherwise....

runner should have been called safe, but that is the 7th time he has picked somebody off of first this year, and he has also thrown out 2/3 of would be base stealers, and i dont think that number includes the pick offs
so how many people on here have been converted to nats fans?

i've been a braves fan for most of my life due to growing up in the SE, but my heart hasn't always been with them … now i've really embraced the nats, they're putting together a great year
anybody that leaves Montreal is OK in my book.

I'm going to the game on Tuesday.

As soon as they dump Jose Guillen I'll probably by a cap.
