I really should just go to sleep because I have work early tomorrow morning....this team is so painful to watch.... QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 07:15 PM) Jerry Owens is not a major league caliber hitter. At this rate.....who is on our roster? They're all playing like they belong back in AA.

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The problem with exchanging two outs for a run is the inability of certain hitters like to Dye to do anything but K or fly out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Dye's really a liability right now. We have to have one of the worst right side defensive teams, in terms of range, in baseball history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Two things: - Gary Sheffield is awesome right now. Too bad we didn't go after him for LF. - Ozzie's complaining about Latino players being targeted in the steroid investigation. I never knew Bonds and Giambi were latinos.

You know, given the small size of our ballpark and the fact that there aren't any wierd nooks, crannies, or corners to deflect the ball, you'd think it'd be pretty hard for guys to actually get a triple in the Cell.

Balta1701 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 06:22 PM) - Ozzie's complaining about Latino players being targeted in the steroid investigation. I never knew Bonds and Giambi were latinos. "I meet with, like, five people," Guillen said Wednesday. "The only thing that made me upset was they tried to mention too many Latino players. I think they try to put the Latinos to be the bad cloud in this thing. This thing was bugging me because everything they asked me [was], 'Do you ever see this in Venezuela?"' BALCO is not [in] Venezuela, is not [in]Puerto Rico, is not Dominican, is not [in] Mexico. BALCO is in California. Then why do [MLB officials] keep blaming players from Latin America for the problem that we have in the States? Guillen said asking whether players were importing steroids from their native countries was unfair, considering BALCO is based in California. "They were like, 'You never see any of the players bring this thing to the States?"' Guillen said. "I said, 'Wait a second, BALCO is not [in] Venezuela, is not [in]Puerto Rico, is not Dominican, is not [in] Mexico. BALCO is in California. Then why do you keep blaming players from Latin America for the problem that we have in the States?'" An Associated Press review in 2005 determined that half of the players suspended that year were born in Latin America. Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment. "From what I've seen of Sen. Mitchell's investigation, he's interested in anyone who might be involved in the use of performance-enhancing substances in baseball," said Rob Manfred, executive vice president for labor relations in the commissioner's office. Guillen responded to a spring training interview about the subject by making an anti-doping video in conjunction with Major League Baseball. It will be shown to all players that participate in the Venezuelan and Dominican summer leagues, as well as other Spanish-speaking players throughout baseball. "It bugged me," he said. "That's why I made a video. I made a video [because] I don't want Latin kids to be involved with something."
