Holy cow, you in tornado country is not a good mix, a slight crack in the window and out goes Heads. :-)

Not an expert, but I'll throw some tips I'm using as well. Probably already know this, but I have to tell it to myself often, but don't hold your breath on reps, as it builds up pressure in your body and can hurt you. If you have to grunt and scream to do reps, then it's probably not the right weight size for you. You want to stick with a weight that isn't too difficult, but isn't too easy and slowly build up. Drink a lot of water, as it will help flush out access fat and waste instead of your body storing it up. Eat several small meals a day, not 2-3 big meals, as your body will store up the excess food as fat to use later in hard times. Don't work the same muscles each day, 2 days in between is probably better than even one for a muscle group. Don't do cardio on the same days as weightlifting or you will fatigue your muscles and stunt their re-growth. Freewights are better than actual machines most of the time, because you can work more areas with free weights. Again, you probably know most of that, but just wanted to post it anyways just in case. Whey Protein is good to build muscle and is a safe choice, you could do a lot worse. I'm using Hydroxycut Hardcore and it works well, but you still have to drink a lot of water with it and stick to a healthier food regimen and workout plan or it's useless. I'm probably going to add some kind of protein to my Hydroxycut Hardcore and vitamins to help my body re-build muscle. Anyways, good luck with it.

Apparently the Panthers released Keyshawn because of his contstant mouth in the locker room as well.

Speaking of which, Drew just commited to UNC, nice pick-up, could be a 3-4 year PG to afford stability.

Sweet, he can replace Michael Irvin's role.

Heard first-hand reports from people at the game that de Los Santos velocity was at 96 late into the game. Might be one to watch for others not named Dan :-).

Bullpen ERA looks like it's now above 5, fun stuff.

Don't forget that Masset's minor career came mainly as a starter. 104 of his 157 games pitched came as a starter.

"And how in the hell doesn't PK get to 3rd base there?" lol, my thoughts exactly, should be a run there.

Day hasn't really done anything deserving to be considered as even a September call-up. His strikeouts are "sexy", but that's the only thing he has going for him.

Yeah but going 2-3 gets you pinch hit for. DOH, there goes my self-imposed Ozzie/Walker bashing ban.

Meanwhile Gamecast has me stuck with Angel Pagan coming up, this is exciting.

Since I've posted, I'll post my version of the top 20, not that it really matters. 1. Gio Gonzalez 2. Ryan Sweeney 3. Josh Fields 4. Jack Egbert 5. Adam Russell 6. Aaron Cunningham 7. Lance Broadway 8. Gavin Floyd 9. Justin Edwards 10. Chris Getz 11. Chris(Vernon) Carter 12. Oneli Perez 13. Carlos Vasquez 14. Charlie Haeger 15. Fransisco Hernandez 16. Wes Whisler 17. Micah Schnurstein 18. Heath Phillips 19. Thomas Collaro 20. Fernando Hernandez I like Getz more than most, his OPS is respectable at 2B, and he has speed, great eye at the plate and is our best IF prospect in our system(which isn't saying a lot) by a wide margin in my opinion. No I didn't include Brian Anderson because of his past history with the big club, and I didn't include Shelby because his numbers as a CF compared to 2B aren't anything special. And yes I like potential bullpen help more than most, and I didn't include Logan because he's with the big club, otherwise he would have made my top 12 ahead of Oneli.

Very interesting quotes, not sure what to make of them combined with his earlier notion of wanting to play for a winner.

With our offense right now, it wouldn't really matter if the pitcher hit.

So AJ gets hurt with Toby at DH, how much fun would that be? Might get to see Paulie behind the plate.

As long as it's not Haeger on Sunday I guess I will be ok.

Greg Walker is the safest .266 hitting coach I have ever seen. But he taught our guys to swing for the short fences, oh you got me.

Nothing wrong with Pablo's baserunning, it's not like he has the speed to score from 2nd on a basehit... Wait, what?

Yeah, it's not easy past 15 in our system. I just liken Owens to Dewon Day. Both are older "prospects" that do one thing well(SB's or K's) and are lacking in most of the other areas.

Disagree with Owens being on there and that high at 18, but otherwise looks good, good job guys.

Just said it was rained out, poop.

True character is coming out in this thread, nice.

If his times improve enough to qualify then I wouldn't have a problem. If you start seeing robotic legs then there might start to be an issue, but it's still this guys athletic ability that is pushing his lower legs to sub 11 second 100 M's, that's damn impressive regardless.
