JD!
He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

This might be the best offensive effort I've seen all season long
they’ve really put together some fantastic at-bats so far. Fantastic job getting Verlander out after four, and that opposite-field double by Thome was beautiful.
Q! must've taken over hitting coach duties

Sooner or later they gotta quit blaming the goat,
And just say, “We suck”

maybe stick with dotel?
hopefully he’ll tighten things up.
well that shows that in general team GIDP is a meaningless stat
Rangers and TIgers leading the league, two of the best offenses.

“I can’t go out and play this year making $445,000. Come on, man. Hey, what about me? How can my employer possibly expect me to work for less than say, half a million a year? After all, I got kids to feed. Cost of living being what it is, I’m surprised I can get by on less”

Hester is one of those guys that thank god they are good at athletics
dumb as dirt otherwise. That said, FB is really a different animal for the players, the game takes such a toll on the body and the average career is so short. And yet there are no guaranteed contracts.
I really don’t have a problem with Hester wanting to get paid, but yea, he’s an idiot.
yep

guy just wants to maximize his earning potential

he may be dumb as dirt.
but he’s apparently got someone smart enough to tell him to get paid. plenty of guys, despite what one may think, don’t get paid and end up as garbagemen or something.
no kidding

The Tigers sported throwback uniforms of the Detroit Stars on Saturday night at Comerica Park as part of their 14th annual Negro Leagues Tribute Game. Their opponents, the White Sox, followed suit, dressing in Chicago American Giants gear. The celebration also included autograph sessions by former Negro League players and a pregame ceremony to honor them.

Sorry if this has been covered,
but Linebink’s disability – I heard dead arm, shoulder tendonitis, etc.
1. Has he has these arm / shoulder difficulties before?
2. Can our resident doctors / medical students comment on the prognosis?

Will Carroll hasn't weighed in yet.

it's a monopoly
one company has the rights to all the league games, and maximises profits by showing selected games. So even in the EPl not all games are available live on the TV or any other media
