[Kurp]

score. and actually it looks like it's on that Monday at 9pm, not Sunday. that still work?

That works for me. Has anyone else talked about joining? There are still three slots left.

[*Shinzon*]

He's not ranked poorly, 15th I think? Not top 10 and I agree.

Cano gets no love.

Reading the list, I was thinking: "Okay, okay okay... O-Hud maybe... ADAM FUCKING KENNEDY?"

Kennedy's stats go up automatically just for being a part of the well-oiled machine that is your 2010 Washington Nationals.

That well-oiled machine needs a healthy dose of Soriano. Take him back.

No, seriously. Take him back.

Soriano's left knee 75-80%

I saw this in class and bust out laughing.

And the NY Daily News today(newspaper)covered the whole Johnny Damon trade thing. Funniest part was that apparently Johnny tried to pull an A-Rod and called up Steinbrenner to get back on the team and got flat out denied since they got someone else. Honestly really just seems like more Boras shenanigans in the end, but Damon turning down an offer when he had moved to a position that had several prospects available in this off season was pretty retarded.

[Cephius]

Cashman wanted him gone though, which is the other part of it. He knows he needs to get younger, and the chances that Damon repeats his 2009 numbers without getting injuries is extremely slim. He would have taken Damon back at the right price, but I think when he heard Boras' demands he pulled the trigger on Nick Johnson. Damon overvalued himself a bit I think, he's not Jeter, he's not A-rod, he's not Texiera. He's a great offensive player that is a mess in the field. People like to say he's clutch but I think that's garbage, he was like 1/16 in the postseason until he hit a homer in game 3 against the Angels. If that was A-rod people woulda gone nuts.

Anyway, good luck to Johnny, I'll miss him because he was the perfect #2 hitter in that lineup. But I think the Yankees will be just fine without him.

IGN has a hands on preview of the new Road to the Show and it sounds fucking awesome. Now I want a new TV and a PS3 just for a baseball game more than ever.

I can't wait really. I'm excited to see some of the new tweaks. I don't really like to watch spring training games and I don't always get a chance to, so the game can keep me entertained for awhile.

Welp, Josh Hamilton managed to tweak his shoulder while diving for a pop fly in a drill--that's awesome...

As long as he didn't land on a hypodermic needle or a six-pack, I think you're fine.

• Andruw Jones showed up to the White Sox camp weighing about 220 pounds, or roughly 25 pounds lighter than last year, and is committed to proving the doubters wrong. It's early, but so far, so good. In the clubhouse yesterday, Andruw declared to a couple of coaches: "I am the best center fielder you guys have in camp."

To which Joey Cora replied, "You should be. Only pitchers and catchers have reported."

lol

[Fistandantilus]

Any slots left in the fantasy league?

[Dense]

Lol. Enjoy your dipshit, Tigers.

Meh. Would have rather the Tigers kept Granderson, but the team today is definitely better than the team two weeks ago... /shrug.

[Cephius]

From LoHud:

The Jesus Montero show continues. Today he hit one over the batter’s eye in center field. Based on where the balls landed, I don’t think he made an out during his first eight swings in the cage: Double to the right-center gap, single up the middle, double to the left-field corner, double down the left-field line, single to left-center, double off the wall in left-center, single to right, foul line drive to left.

Can't wait to see this kid. Here's hoping his defense gets good enough for him to stay at catcher in the bigs.

[Moss]

Any slots left in the fantasy league?

Yeah 2 slots left, league is Blue Gartr, password is wickedpissah.

Here is a Heyward blurb in response to Montero:

The Coke truck was rolling past the right-center field fence at Champion Stadium when Heyward hit a screamer towards the gap. The ball kept rising, the seemed to hone in on its target, smashing into it with the sound like a brick against a garage door.

A few swings later, the same truck was parked in a lot behind the right-field fence. Heyward, 20, hit a ball completely over it, smashing the sunroof of assistant general manager Bruce Manno’s car.

[Cephius]

Just remember that Montero didn't hit one in the batter's eye... he hit it over it. The fence itself is 408 feet away, and the eye extends back and up. It was easily a 450-475 foot homer.

Juss sayin!

[Moss]

Yeah but that's nothing compared to EIGHT STRAIGHT IMAGINARY HITS! Nvm the last one was foul, but STILL! lol

[Cephius]

Batting practice isn't imaginary! And hey, the beat writer wrote that, not me lol

[Moss]

lol I know, the amount of hype is just entertaining, some of the stuff I read about Heyward is ridiculous.
