Five MLB Standouts
Looking at some players/numbers that stick out across MLB…
Hey, why would anyone want Adam Dunn? I think I made that clear in the offseason as I basically begged for a Chicago team to sign him. He’s doing what he usually does. The guy who has hit 40 or more homers for the...
Saturday Fun: Fernando Valenzuela Pitching Corn Flakes
Yeah, I got the feeling Fernando was chowing down on all the sugary cereals. He claims it’s his “favorito” but I’m not buying it. Doesn’t make this video any less fun. Oh, and check out Mexican Wade Boggs in the beginning of the spot.

Cubs vs. White Sox Notes
Exciting Cubs/Sox game today. Home Runs by DLee and Soto–and their overall performance lately–should give Cubs fans a boost.
But the way it ended was just plain odd. Matt Thornton got to 1-2 on Soriano by throwing nothing but fastballs. Then he threw another for ball 2...
Even Chicago Says No Hall For Sosa
Here’s to you, Chicago. Many towns may still celebrate their cheaters (See St. Louis, Mark McGwire), but according to a Chicago Tribune poll, Chicagoans are truthers. I love it.
Good job, Chicago.
15 Years Ago Today: OJ Chase
“Juice, don’t give up now!”
I remember where I was when this went down. I was working at a local restaurant and was stealing glimpses of the Rockets/Knicks game. I came back at one point and there was a mass huddling around a big screen TV. Then I saw the OJ chase...
Kyle Farnsworth Joke (Non-HR Related)
From Circling the Bases via Wrigleyville 23:
I’ve got good news and bad news for Royals fans.
First the good news: Reliever Kyle Farnsworth had his finger bandaged on Tuesday after being bitten by his bulldog.
The bad news? The wound was on his non-pitching hand.
Rim shot...

Check out this clip from “Beisbol ‘86″ and Channel 26 before it was “The U”. Interesting choice of music for a Spanish-spoken baseball program. But you can’t fault them too much, Huey Lewis was the man in the mid-80’s, right? Also, it’...
Congrats To The Cubs
Just wanted to hand out some kudos to some of the Cubbies.
Congrats to Alfonso Soriano on his OBP falling below .300. Also, congrats that he is now hitting just .229.
Congrats to his manager, Lou Piniella. He has been in baseball for 73 years but says he doesn’t know what to...
Slow Starts Are Now Bad Seasons: Pitchers Edition
Time to look at the pitchers…
Francisco Liriano, Twins. He’s still not right, as evidenced by his 2-7 record and 5.99 ERA.
Jon Garland, D’Backs. Some White Sox fans wanted him back. Careful what you wish for. Garland has more walks than Ks, and ERA of 5.61 and a WHIP...
The Slow Starts Are Now Just Bad Seasons
Those numbers look ugly. And while there is still time to turn it around, it can no longer be considered a “slow start”. It’s now just a bad season. Sorry to break it to you, and these hitters:
Geovany Soto, Cubs. Last year’s ROY is this year’s Sophomore...
Cardinals Looking At Tejada
I was a bit surprised to read that the Cardinals might be interested in obtaining Miguel Tejada.
“Tejada fits the profile of what the Cardinals are seeking — an offensive deterrent capable of playing multiple positions. The Astros are experiencing financial problems and could...
Texy Rexy?
According to Drew Rosenhaus Twitter page, Rex Grossman is about to sign a deal with the Houston Texans.
Looks like Rex will be backing up Matt Schaub.

Manny Being Manny (Not a Rapist or Killer)
Manny Ramirez stopped by Chavez Ravine to say yo to his Dodger compatriots and had this to say:

Ramirez refused to talk about the circumstances surrounded his suspension.
“Whatever happened...
Blow Up the Cubs
I’m not a good Cubs fan these days. I don’t really enjoy watching them play. It’s more of a chore. Most of the games are boring, dreadful or both. That includes the ones they win. I harbor secret (well there goes that) hopes that the Cubs will lose 10 straight and...
