haha, we were in the right field bleachers Saturday and my friend screamed "MILTON" so loud so many times he still can't talk right. My other friend wore his blank Twins jersey with "Bradley" across the back in masking tape.

good times... good times...

I was about 100 feet to your left by the warmup mound. I saw a bunch of Twins fans, a couple with the powder blue retro jerseys, giving him shit. Bradley was a good sport though, moving his arms like a conductor to your chants.

Yeah, he was a good sport about it all - he makes too much $$ not to be...

To bad I didn't know you were there, I would have let you buy me an Old Style and a Chicago Beef Sammy loaded w/cheese and peppers!

Poor Dontrelle on the 15 day for anxiety disorder. Bad thing to happen to a great kid.

Finally Blackburn gets a win and a nice on at that. I have him on my Fantasy team and he just couldn't get a W.

He needs to take a year out of baseball and get him self together. I still think he can be a good ball player. He needs to become mentally fit and drop some weight.

Blackburn is very solid, he just hasn't gotten a lot of help from his hitters. Hell, with the exception of Lariano (ironically), all of our starters are pretty damn solid...

I would've but I only had $50 on me. Old Style cans were $6.50 each.

Even Liriano has thrown three decent games in a row now. I'm not sold on Perkins yet. Hell, the rookie Swarzak throws 7 shutout innings vs. Cubs and they send him to AAA.

The line I just read from the Daily Herald:

Sheesh Bronson Arroyo SUCKS. He'll probably go on the DL soon but he needs to be cut.

The list all over the internet, and was probably bogus anyway

Jason Grimsley, David Segui and Larry Bigbie, all of whom were told by Gene Orza that they failed the 2003 drug test were missing from the list.

So no rants about the All Star picks? I'm happy with Josh Johnson and Hanley obviously. Johnson is truly an ace. If it weren't for that surgery from a couple of years ago he'd be more heralded.

I don't even know who this Bailey guy is.

Biggest snub was Sandoval. I hope he wins the alternate vote thingy.

And oh look, my Cubbies are ahead of your Pinks in the standings.




...that's with Big Z playing like he has no brain, Milton Bradley playing without any of his marbles...

Just wait until Z plays with SOME brain and Milton gets 1 or 2 marbles back.

Pfft, no chance for the wait-til-next-year Cubs. We'll win the division when we get our new manager

Good fight in the AL West. The Rangers actually aren't faltering (at least yet) like they always do.

Looks like the Blue Jays are looking to trade Halladay. Funny thing is, Yanks and Red Sox will have to pay a lot more than other teams outside of the AL East if they want him.

I say he goes to Philly.

I read that they were interested. He does have a full no-trade clause, but he says he won't deny a trade to a contender and somewhere he likes.


I'm still pissed that the Reds passed over Gordon Beckham in the draft (went 8th to the Sox) and he's already in the bigs, while our guy Alonzo we picked at #7 is injured.
