It's Vic's hammy

He didn't keep the ball!

He didn't keep the ball!

Who ended up going home with one of the best souvenirs in history?

BenFran to get the call

BenFran to get the call

Francisco was pulled from his game with Buffalo today. Yahoo! surmises Michaels or Marte could be on the chopping block, but the move can't be announced until Tues.

Do we know something they don't?

Nathan inks extension with Minny

JulioBernazard — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 19:58:48 -0000

MINN has worked out an extension for CL J Nathan. I was kind of hoping he'd leave the division, if not the league. (Although it's modestly encouraging that a mid-market club can extend a superstar.)

They really ripped off SF with that trade, didn't they?

Jamal Lewis re-signs

JulioBernazard — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:40:18 -0000

The Jam Daddy is staying in Cleveland!

I like the move a lot. We'll keep the offensive core intact (with a possible change at QB), and focus on defense in the offseason.

Looks like details are forthcoming re years, etc.p> Can he call up C.C. Sabathia and have a little talk?

Tribe chain studied by the S.A. Spurs

JulioBernazard — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 03:20:25 -0000

Yes, you read that right. According to TrueHoop, the Spurs studied our beloved Tribe's minor league system before implementing their D-League team.

No word in the article on whether they've created a computer database called... CourtVision?

Quite a feather in the organization's cap when teams from other sports are emulating what you've done. This makes the Cavs being swept in the Finals a bit more palatable.

Go Cavs! Go Tribe!

DET extends Nate Robertson

DET continues to make a big splash this offseason, throwing $21M+ at Nate Robertson for three years of service (two of which he wasn't signed for previously).

I'm looking forward to Tribe hitters teeing off on him for a few more seasons.

If I ever have a son, he is learning to throw a ball with his left hand.

Prior released

JulioBernazard — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:33:13 -0000

by the Cubs, after rivalling Kerry Wood for most time missed due to injury:

Do we take a Mulder-esque run at him, citing our training staff?

How high will the bidding go for him? Think he'll ever be healthy? Is he an albatross in the clubhouse, or is it only the Cubbie fans who don't like him?

Another trade for DET

JulioBernazard — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 18:37:26 -0000

The Detroit Tiges just sent IF Omar Infante to the Chicago Cubs for OF Jacque Jones.

I guess Leyland isn't an OBP kind of a guy? I'm not bowled over by either of their two trades so far, although getting Sean Casey out of the everyday lineup should improve them somewhat.

Pats punished for taping signs

JulioBernazard — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 04:33:47 -0000

And you thought this type of thing only happened in baseball:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3012989

Apparently, Bill and the boys have done this before. Why is the only penalty draft picks? At what point does it come to forfeiture of games?

... and why didn't Belichick think of this when he was coaching for us?

UPDATE after the jump. Update [2007-9-13 23:9:9 by MahoningValley]: The punishment from the league is in: $500K fine for Beli
$250K fine for the organization
loss of first round pick (if Pats make the playoffs) OR loss of 2nd and 3rd round pick (if Pats fail to make the playoffs) Link to ESPN Article The league is also going to continue to monitor the Pats' activities going forward, according to SportsCenter. Pretty stiff, but I still feel that if players can miss games for off-field actions, Beli should be suspended for *at least* a game for ON-FIELD, IN-GAME cheating. And what rule does he feel he "misinterpreted?" Those rules are pretty explicit. Also, what was up with the Pats being on the wrong radio frequencies during the Sundays game? This week's game with SD should be interesting, to say the least.
