Over at Prospect insider Churchill is saying

"There are some rumors starting to swirl around the team as they left Kaufmann Stadium today that designated hitter Jose Vidro's career in Seattle is over and that he will not be with the team when they open a three-game series versus Cleveland on Friday"

Which is incredibly relieving news, I mean it was inevitable and all but that didnt stop me from worrying that somehow his option would still end up vesting.

So just finished looking at yesterdays boxscore's, and the single greatest thing I saw was the following which totally made my morning.

HR: Snelling (1, 9th inning off Valverde, 0 on, 0 out),                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Random fact of the day:  In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry remarked, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." On July 20, 1969, a few hours after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, Gaylord Perry hit his first of six home runs.                         

does anyone know anyplace that still sells the alternate hat from the late 90's? The one with the silver bill, and has the compass but no S.

random 75 word fact of the day

If you have 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies, you have $1.19. You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar.

fuck that still wasnt 75 words words words.

So has anyone else ever used this site, a friend of mine just signed up and had me try it. Basically they give you 10 cents for free, and you can bet it on basically whatever i.e. at vegas and if you can turn that 10 cents into 10 bucks or above you can cash out. My friend was saying somebody was bragging that they ended up with like 50 bucks.
