RMR Players You Should Know

I'm getting through this on my own blog... this is a link to the Mavericks (the Hawks are linked to in the post).
I'm just going through all the squads and listing the guys you might've heard of (in other words... guys I've heard of). Just so the players aren't completely unknown if you happen to catch a game.

Jazz & Pistons... trade partners?

Jazz & Pistons... trade partners?

Chad Ford came up with the idea. I just added my 2 cents to it all.

Booze, Almond, Brewer & Flop for Prince & Hamilton...

Yay or nay?

Soriano Out For 6 Weeks?

Not Pirates news, but the Cubs are in the NL Central (and in 1st place), so it's worth a mention.

Via Yahoo! Sports

Alfonso Soriano could miss up to six weeks with a broken left hand after the Chicago Cubs star was hit by a pitch Wednesday night against Atlanta.

Soriano was hit in the second inning by Jeff Bennett. The Chicago leadoff man will be in a splint for three weeks, Cubs spokesman Peter Chase said.

...

For a team that has not won the World Series since 1908, the injury was startlingly bad break. Soriano entered the game with a .284 average, a team-high 15 homers and 40 RBIs.

It's a big blow for the Cubs. And you have the Cards losing Albert Pujols for a while. Not sure how much it affects the teams (both teams won today), but it could open the NL Central up a bit more. Not that I'm implying anything...

RealGM very early mock

RealGM very early mock

The mock has Philly getting the #24 pick from the Panthers.
If that ends up being the case, was the trade up for Otah worth it?

To note, he gives them Fili Moala, DT, USC with the pick.
Just FYI.

Suns fans also find us classless.

Apparently, booing Fisher = classless, no matter the reason.

I tried to defend the Jazz fanbase (at least the ones that weren't booing Fisher the person)... we'll see how that goes.

Morales Up, Bulger Down

UtesFan89 — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:44:25 -0000

The Angels just recalled Kendry Morales and sent down Jason Bulger.

The Angels announced today that the club has recalled infielder Kendry Morales and optioned right-handed pitcher Jason Bulger to triple-A Salt Lake. The announcement was made by club General Manager Tony Reagins.

Morales, 24, has appeared in 16 games for the Bees in 2008, hitting .278 with three doubles and 16 RBI....

Bulger, 29, pitched in five games for the Halos in 2008, owning a 7.94 ERA with six strike outs....

The pitcher sent down when Rodriguez was called up was Alex Serrano, according to the Bees homepage.

The Angels need to stop giving us (I'm speaking as a Bees fan) pitchers in exchange for our hitters. How will the hot start continue if we only have pitchers to send out

Just kidding, of course.

Go Bees!
