We can make our own meth for free and give it to the porn stars in lieu of money. Then we turn around and sell the porn on the internet for money. And the best part is that, even if we did get caught, we could always say at least we weren't as shady as Dave Wilder. I'll act in the movies for meth. Why not, i don't have anything else going on right now.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 16, 2009 -> 07:01 PM) Flowers' bomb was off one of the better Norfolk pitchers too. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=468435 Josh Perrault had just been dominating this year. Great to see this from Flowers. I expect to see more HR output from him now that he's out of Birmingham

Danks has 2 OF assists in this game including gunning out a runner at home.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) I enjoyed watching the Brewer's prospect with the 50-mph curveball. LOL. That'll mess with a few batters' heads. gotta love the eephus

Bristol v Bluefield Upchurch dealing in this one so far. good to see. B Ham v Mobile Shirek pitching Kannapolis @ Savannah Griffith started Winston-Salem v normal Salem ACarter with the start Ogden @ Great Falls Joucer Martinez pitching

I'd say that he's very projectable, lots of room on his frame to fill out still so he could conceivably add some velocity to his fastball in the next couple of years. I'd take a late round flyer on him and see what develops.

QUOTE (CSF @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 12:36 PM) Baseball America is also wondering why Carter hasn't been moved up: From their Hot Sheet: I'm sure that they have their reasons for not moving him yet, they didn't just forget about him I promise you that. My guess would be that he's either A. not mentally ready yet and they don't want to crush his confidence, B. he's got a glitch in his mechanics that he's working on first, C. he's got a new pitch that he's working on or, D. there's a coach in Kanny that they really want him to work with for an extended period of time. It's quite obviously not about his numbers/stuff because he's been dominating the Sally league, 120k's in 96ip, that's gnarly, especially considering his low bb rate.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 09:56 PM) No, it's the other way around. His defense is suspect and his offense was his strength in college. yes

Charlotte B Ham- completion of game delayed on 6/27 B Ham game 2 W-S Kanny Bristol

I'll give the SP nod to Buehrle because of his great pickoff move

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 08:00 PM) Are you forgetting about the years he pitched in the AL and when he pitched pretty damn solid for the A's in the playoffs? Even in his sophomore season he was very solid for the Cards in the 04 WS. He's proven in both leagues. Still, dominating the NL West is not the same as dominating the AL East. I understand that he's a proven star but Halladay pitches in the pressure cooker that is the AL East, that league is very good every single season and have two teams with murderers row lineups and he performs every single season against them, that earns big time kudos and puts him ahead of Haren in my eyes.

Halladay pitches in one of the toughest divisions year in and year out while Haren pitches in a pretty weak NL division. Lots different going up against San Diego LA and Colorado all year versus Boston NY and Tampa Bay.

Just noticed that Cook is in RF in for Charlotte, finally got a well deserved promotion though it's probably too late for him unless he pulls a Podsednik.

Carter has 10k's and 0bb's through 5IP

Charlotte v. Norfolk Birmingham v. Mississippi Winston-Salem v. just regular Salem Kanny v. Lakewood Bristol v. Burlington GF v. Ogden

lets go nice and slow with him so we can have him for the entire second half

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 6, 2009 -> 11:53 AM) I dont understand why he uses the term "bush league attitude". Is it just to get attention for someone to read. I must be missing something. he's saying bush league attitude to refer to his passion and desire for the game as opposed to manny's couldn't care less attitude

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 08:12 AM) The Sox took awhile with Beckham, too. My guess Mitchell signs a week before the Aug. 15 deadline. He will probably start in Kanny just like Gordon did. They probably want to give the kid a break after non-stop sporting activity this year (from football to baseball, how many days off has he actually had?) didn't play football this season

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) Am I the only person who finds it strange that KW Jr. only DH's? My guess is that it is so he can focus solely on hit hitting which by all accounts is his weakest tool.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 02:16 PM) He's still raking: .339/.387/.688 6 HR 33 RBI 5 2B 8 3B Think it's about time to move him back to Bristol? I'm sure his D is still raw, but good to see him mashing.... He has 8 errors so far which would put him on pace for approximately 50 in a 162 game season. Maybe a move to 3B or a corner OF spot is in his near future.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:27 PM) Kroeger sucks in the field, that's been known for a while. Thanks for the observations though! He has 9 E's in the outfield so far this season. That's pretty awful for any outfielder let alone a corner OF.

Dan Remenowsky has 53K's and just 7BB in 30.2 IP. 2.05 ERA and .191 BAA, not bad for an undrafted FA. Anyone know what kind of stuff he has??? Those are damn impressive numbers.

Kanny finally broke up the no hitter with a single by Jorge Castillo
