Can Sale be the next CJ Wilson? I sure hope so. Grantland tries to figure it out here
ahhh Beautiful Camel Back Ranch in sunny Glendale AZ...a couple friends and I are going to meth up in Scottsdale to play some golf and raid the fridge in some 16000 sqft house and I was curious as to which SSSers have ever been out there. Unfortunately our trip falls short of the first game as we leave the evening of the 4th but does anyone know if we can tour the facilities and watch some practice drills or anything of the sort.
Any tips, tricks, or ideas are welcomed. Will my SSS press Badge work?
Im gonna miss this connection
Bwahahhahaaa, Ozzie is walking into to the weakest most flamboyant ripoff of our pinwheels...

I sure hope the Good Guys are rested and hungry in Motor City this weekend...Dont Go Chasin Waterfalls Boys
"*One more aside: While in Toronto, I saw Adam Dunn come to the plate eight times. He struck out four times. He walked four times. So I asked Bill the question: If you had a player like Adam Dunn who did that for a whole season -- struck out half the time and walked half the time -- would it be worth having that player in the lineup. Bill said that even if the player played defense like Adam Dunn and ran like Adam Dunn, it would STILL be worth having him in the lineup with his .500 on-base percentage."

On this 7th Day of the 12th month in the year of our Lord 2010, SSS lays to rest what was Where Triples Go to Die. It was the best of times, and the worst of times, and if I recall correctly, the sole purpose of what brought me to create a profile on SBNation.

The Beisbol Eco-nomist Q&A through Freakonomics...
"The final out of the World Series marks the beginning of baseball’s second season, when teams court free agents and orchestrate trades with the hope of building a championship contender. The real and anticipated transactions generate excitement among fans who discuss the merit of moves in the arena informally known as the ‘hot stove league.’"
Baines Raines on Alomar

So last year Harold Baines and Tim Raines stole a few votes from Roberto Alomar leaving him robbed of the 75% needed by just 1.3%. This year all three are back again, with Harold barely making the cut of a 5% minimum endorsement.

I wonder what Armour Field would be like
I hated New Comiskey. Dont get me wrong, I was happy that the Sox had a new home, but I just did not like New Comiskey once inside. Im very happy with The Cell, but I wonder what Armour Field would be like. I wonder what fun wouldve been had in 05 there.

I can't seem to find a link to this snippet as the print version of the latest Psychology Today, hasnt published it online yet, but Matthew Hutson had a neat little observation about team mates that ass slap, fist each other, and high five.

I guess he'll be hanging out a lot more...
Finally a long awaited visit from the Good Guys (who aren't really that good currently). U-God came with the breaking news yesterday afternoon that our next opponent decided to take on Ned Yost and let go of Trey Dawg. Personally, I think it was a futile move, as the real problem lies much deeper in the organization, particularly in Dayton Moore, but also with the wallet of David Glass, but also Moore's ability to properly manipulate that budget he has in the first place. Nonetheless, despite the woes of their ball club, (yes the Sox still should play into the unsettled waters of the Royals home) but should also win on principal of playing against this historical caliber of a team. This type of trip is exactly what we need to set the wheels in motion for a coupla nice 10 game winning streaks.
Not that it completely matters as the Royals bullpen seems to completely give up whatever edge the starting rotation leaves them with, but one thing to look forward to is that we will not be facing the anxiety ridden 1 and 4 Cy Young Winnder of yesteryear.

I gotta admit, even though the special that just aired on WGN was borderline ghey, Ill have to associate that mostly due to its broadcast station being home to the Cubs. Severely a basement style final cut pro production, it still provided some inspiration/hope, and was nice to see, especially for those away fans.

Part of me wishes this was true. Especially when we were forced to pay for renovations and didnt even get the rolling roof. We shoulda called their bluff and not voted for that POS addition, and either let em leave or built a new stadium downtown in place of the Sprint Center. F the Royals, F the Chiefs, welcome to a loosing city Mavericks. We cant even get the goddamn Onion in print here in KC??? Not that the news paper is a thriving product, but its free and we all love Free stuff ya buncha t-shirt Tuesday totin fools.

I remember hearing about this during my impressionable years while playing in high school. I was never much of a pitcher, but I've had my moments. I get called to make my first start. Gave up 4 bombs in the second inning, and moved back to my position at second. Took a hot grounder to the nose and there was no bad hop...just straight in and out of my mitt and right up in the face. Who knows, things may have been different if I woulda dropped a hit of acid instead of smokin the Wednesday Weed before the game???

The End is Nigh

Looking over the schedules of our own and the loathed Tigresses, I can't help but feel that we're getting the short end of the wishbone. Forget about this next road trip that ends the dog daze of August and opens up September, cleaning up in Jose Paniagua's favorite Chicago neighborhood. Ozzie and Crew know that they have to go into September at the very least w/o loosing any ground.
