not talking about wood.
not talking about wood because who the heck knows at this point. pretending everything is fine and we won’t remember this when we’re dousing each other with champagne and such, or that we’ll only remember it in the ‘ha, remember when we were stupidly freaked out about it to the point we were afraid to use capital letters’ kinda way.
The thing I abhor about the ‘baseball to the hill to talk about steriods’ is most sports news ‘people’ come to a conculsion that there will actually be no real news or even definte conclusion about this, and yet they can discuss it for 40 hours straight.
Bubble talk is so much more fun, even when it distills down to “here’s 8 teams which did not do all they should’ve done to get in – pick 4 of ’em.”
I’m getting the impression they’ll be starting Joe as the closer when they go north (or less so, because the first games in Arizona and all.) Which would happily move LaTroy to the 8th and leave Dempster well up in the air but unofficially closer in waiting.
Camden Chat: Scott’s gone semi-professional. (I know!) I’ll add his link to the side because I need my daily Sammy Sosa updates. Also, it’s the only semi-professional site which would ever put somewhere here on top of it’s list.
Meanwhile, just about everyone not named Ruiz has appeared to leave All-Baseball in the last two weeks to go to either .
It’s so weird; surely there are things going on in the inside which they haven’t hinted about, but from one web location to another web location to the do same exact stuff with a slightly worse graphical format at the beginning. (I love white backgrounds, you know that.) Why make the change? What’s the advantage? It’s more work for me remembering where everything is (and eventually getting adding the links over there), and “we wanted to try out new software” seems to for me. Of course I’m the one who tries everything live and pays for it, so I guess there’s some semi-professionalism to that concept.
Though if you’re doing it ot mess with the software, could you please put a permalinks on top? Thanks.
It’s a pretty freaking smart idea to have some interesting new content to welcome in a new site
- CubTown.baseballtoaster.com has a inteview with debuting Cubs pbp man Len Kasper (part 1/part 2)
- Baseball Analysts, which is more general than Cubs, co-hosts a Top 40 Cubs Prospects list. I apperciate the idea of trying to do some cross promotion, but it’d be kinda nice to have one page for the discussions on all 40 rather than to have to flip back and forth between there and tCR for 31 to 40, 20 to 31, 11 to 20, 10-6, 5-1.
Say, if I’m looking for all the guys in Peoria whom I might be able to catch @ Kane County, the list at the end isn’t totally convivent…so here’s one of my own.POS Team 1. Brian Dopirak 1B Daytona 2. Felix Pie CF West Ten 3. Angel Guzman SP Iowa 4. Ryan Harvey RF Peoria 5. Reynel Pinto SP Iowa 6. Jason Dubois LF Chicago (hopefully) 7. Sean Marshall SP West Ten 8. Billy Petrick SP Daytona 9. Jon Leicester RP Chicago (maybe) 10. Matt Murton RF West Ten 11. Bobby Brownlie SP Iowa 12. Grant Johnson SP Daytona or Peoria 13. Richard Lewis 2B Iowa 14. Mike Wuertz RP Iowa (probably) 15. Roberto Novoa RP Iowa 16. Matt Craig 1B/3B Iowa 17. Mark Reed CA Peoria 18. Will Ohman RP Iowa (perhaps) 19. Jon Connolly SP West Ten 20. Brandon Sing 1B West Ten 21. Geovany Soto CA Iowa 22.

Harvey, Reed, Downs and maybe Grant. Less than I’d hope, but I presume it’s harder to read guys who are at that level.
