Finally!

I demand that whenever Bristol or Great Falls take the field on defense, the Benny Hill theme should be repeated over and over. I love seeing those numbers higher than 2 in the error column.

Back on topic here....I'm working my butt off on following up on the grand re-opening of FutureSox with a national report on about 30 players. Should be around 6,000 words or so.

That's low. Speaking of Catalanotto, he's making 2.3 million this year.

I love that website, especially the Adema one. Fapid, cliche, mediocrity.

I wouldn't say taht. Tracey acknowledged when Jason and I interviewed him that he struggled in the early part of the season. But he's been coming into his own lately and pitching phenomenaly. I still think it'd be cool to see him get the Carolina League record for 30 plunked batters. Only 11 more, Sean! Go go go! Jas, we need to get those interviews up, we've been promising them for weeks, lol.

Speaking of Suppan, I remember when Boston traded for him last year and Gammons was going estatic for it. Go figure two months later he's left off the playoff roster he was so bad. Atta boy, Pete!

You'll most likely never share mine listening to Creed, et al. To each his own but to say the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day, two of the most influential bands of the 90s, two bands who paved the way for a wave of others, are crap...that's just asinine.

With our latest rash of injuries, ineffective 3-4-5 pitching and the Benson pickup, you have to say the Twins are the favorite to win the division. Look at Benson's latest few starts, he's been lights out.

I'm real lazy so I just quoted your post and changed some names.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! While I don't dig a lot of the newer RHCP (too poppy), their old stuff was original, highly influential, and most importantly good. Creed....oh sweet Jesus were they awful. I enjoy how their lame-o restart, Alter Bridge, keeps saying, "We don't sound like Creed, honestly!" when they are exactly the same.

If the Angels sign Weaver, they'll potentially have the two best pitchers in the 2004 draft in Adenhart and Weaver.

Awwww yeah, best name in the minors right there. After compiling those All-Minors teams last year, Jose Capellan. Nothing like consistantly throwing 100 MPH gas as a starter.

The D'Backs want C, OF, P, 3B. One, if not both of Mathis and McPherson have to go.

You guys forget...we beat Santana the last time he faced us. Sure it was 2 runs on 2 hits but we won, so shut up! I'll most likely be missing the game tonight to go camping. Shame

Hey Jason, where's the love for Thomas Pauly?

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article....RTICLE_ID=39644 High...lowlights! Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do. Democrats are constantly suing and slandering police as violent, fascist racists – with the exception of Boston's police, who'll be lauded as national heroes right up until the Democrats pack up and leave town on Friday, whereupon they'll revert to their natural state of being fascist, racist pigs. My pretty-girl allies... INTERRUPTION: Ann Coulter is an ugly femnazi and should have all of her reproductive organs removed to ensure the world will have less ugly morons like herself. For 20 years, the Democrats wouldn't let Jimmy Carter within 100 miles of a Convention podium. The fact that Carter is now their most respectable speaker tells you where that party is today. Maybe they just want to remind Americans who got us into this Middle East mess in the first place. INTERRUPTION: That would be the British, honey. But let's forget how the U.S. supported both Iraq and Afghanistan (evil Communists, oh my!). With any luck, Gore will uncork his speech comparing Republicans to Nazis. INTERRUPTION: Just like you just recently said the Democrats were? Oh my, hypocrisy is a b****. -- To end this, the Spawn of Satan convention would be Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity's wedding. Someone make sure this never happens and spin a bus tire wheel on Coulter's face for a good 15 minutes.

Blanton's stats have been heavily inflated by pitching in the über hitting friendly PCL. He's still a good pitcher but not a top prospect. Hamels and Floyd, Philly's two top pitching prospects, are good hoices but Hernandez and Francis have blown by them statwise this year. Hamels is probably similar to Kazmir except that he's much more consistant. Jackson had a huge year and an even bigger hype machine following him around after his first win against Randy Johnson. While he can dial it up to the high 90s, I'm skeptical about him, especially his lackluster numbers at Las Vegas. Greg Miller is out for the year with shoulder trouble, which is the last place you want to be injured if you are a pitcher. He'll be a guy to watch in 2006 at the earliest. Loewen has continued to lose his control after walking 8 batters in 1.1 IP in spirng training. He's in the same boat as Kazmir right about now. Confidence problems. Kazmir struggled a lot earlier in the season but has come around over the past month or so. I know some now see him as a bullpen guy because of some pitch struggles. Needs to cut down on the walks. As for the Cubs, they shouldn't be considered. Blasko fell off the Earth as expected, Brownlie has been putting up solid, but not #1 numbers, Sisco has regressed, Guzman is coming back from injury, as is Ryu. Justin Jones is probably emerging as the best Cubs pitching prospect, but he shouldn't be considered a Top 50 player. Just don't ask Jim Callis. -- Rex, I did the same thing and I forgot guys like Hermida and Francouer, although I'm still a bit weary with Jeff. As for 3B with Wright gone to the Mets, Ian Stewart from Colorado is another guy I like. Could be moved over to 1st but can rake the ball very well. I'm also interested to see how Jason Stokes (1B) does at Albequerque considering you're hitting a gravity ball there.

Well I shouldn't be too bad this year. My intro to business class doesn't have a book, my German class costs close to nothing, my Arts and Sciences books cost very little, but Calculus is gonna nail me.

From what I've read and heard, his fastball and curve are plus pitches but his change is really lacking, hence he is in the bullpen. I think he and Deininger are in the same boat: if they want to start, they better stop walking about a guy an inning. Dizard has come along fairly well so I'd leave him in the pen for now.

I remember when Jas, Ian, Mario and I were on vacation, there was a thread full of country's hostmasks that visited FutureSox. I bet a bunch of them visited here as well. Nothing like reading through that list, looking at Jason and asking, "Where the f*** is this country?"

I went yesterday and I have a dearth of things that I must buy (owe Mom $60, books for College, weeeeee), so needless to say I won't be going.

Minor league closers come a dime a dozen so you're not too off base there. I'd heavily disagree with Anderson being placed there, Gutierrez from CLE seems a better fit to me. Also, I haven't been hearing grat things abotu Delmon Young but the hype machine on him is freaking insane.

You're taking too damn long

No goddamnit, I want in.
