Halladay, Roy Halladay

Our buddies over at mlbtraderumors.com have a story up from Dan Graziano of the Newark Star Ledger, that says Roy is unhappy in Toronto and the Jays maybe doing some "quiet surveying" of the market for Doc. This is what I have to say to J.P. and the Blue Jays: Here they are, here are the keys to my farm, take the tractor down and take a look at what I got and help yourself, I might want to talk to ol' Roy real quick and see if he would be willing to discuss an extension but if he will then its a deal because I will give him what he wants. This is the kind of deal that you build your farm system up for, so you can trade for this type of player if the oppurtunity ever comes along! Now I dont know if Dan knows what he is talking about, but if he does then we have to do what it takes to get a TRUE ACE! So what do you think it will take? I say we start with, Elvis, Salty/MaxRam/TT, Harrison, and Hurley. I know thats alot, and there are some of you that dont think its enough, but thats A TON better than what Cleveland got for CC, and totally off the chart compared to what the A's got, so what do y'all think?

PLEASE HELP!

I am going to Yankee Stadium for the final Boston series! I have never been to New York so I dont know where to by tickets, where is the best place to sit? Left Field/third base upper deck, right field/1st base upper deck, or the bleachers? I also heard if I buy tickets in the bleachers that they wont let me walk around the rest of the stadium, is this true? Thank every one for all the help in advance! I tried this at pinstripe alley but got no real response's!

Yankees Stadium

Hello New Yorkers from friendly Texas. I will be making my pilgrimage to Yankee Stadium next month, to see the beautifull girl before she is replaced. I was wondering where would be the best place to sit on a budget? Right Field upper deck, Left Field/Third Base upper deck, or the Bleachers? Your input would be GREATLY appreciated I hope to make this experience as enjoyable as possible and promise to route for the Yankees against the hated and sorry Red Sox.

FIFTY......50

blueballlefty — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 06:24:36 -0000

Ok I dont want to get a head of my self, but if we win two out of the next four games before the All Star Break we will have 50 wins at the break. I dont even know how to look up when the last time was we had 50 at the break but I am pumped. I have been trying to talk my wife into seeing Hancock ever since it came out, and TONIGHT she came in and said lets go see it! It was right after the Rivera HR so I said EFF it lets go! So anyways I had to watch the Josh HBOMB on replay and read y'alls quotes along with it AWESOME! Anyways back to *50* we will have 66 games after the break, I want to hear what we expect out of this team post break! I personally would love to see 40 wins I know thats quite a bit but I think its a good goal. Discuss amogst yourselves

LAST DAY TO VOTE FOR OUR GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I remember right weren't we all going to get together and make a real push for our boys and the All-Star Game. I know I am good for a few fake email address's and a hundred votes or so. I think with our team up there in NY City trying to impress the "real baseball fans" haha, we need to get behind them here! I dont have an account over at Newbergs site so will someone who does post this for them and lets try to really get behind Kinsler and Bradley (since they are the only two who actually have a chance to catch the guys in front of them) and lets get 3 starters in the Classic. SO GO VOTE!!!!!!!

Blalock out till Break

blueballlefty — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:31:09 -0000

Per TR Sullivan and TexasRangers.com Hank Blalock is back with the team but wont be activated anytime soon. Hank's hand/wrist is still swolen and will be out atleast a couple of weeks and definately wont be back before the break! I dont know what y'all think, but for me, a huge Hank fan, its time for the team to move on, either keep Max at first base regularly or go ahead and bring up Davis. Whatever we do its time to get Red out of there.

A Salty Story

blueballlefty — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:44:41 -0000

Here is a link to a story Spin/Maxim magazine did on our own beloved Salty Saltalamachia. Its kind of entertaining but makes me worry a little bit about the Byrdman reverting back to his old 300+lb. ways haha. So what do you think about when you here Saltalamachia hopefully soon it will be Homeruns and not Pasta Primavera.

Your FanPost must be at least 75 words long. Right now

My trip to picture day

blueballlefty — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 02:49:24 -0000

I know the OC has done one of these I hope y'all enjoy it! Also there is a special picture in here for lonestar, Dshep, and all you other haters!

via i304.photobucket.com It started with me in front of the 404 sign in the outfield

That is me with Art Howe and Mr. Washington I think that UFO OC was talking about is blocking out the sun in the Art Howe pic.

Me and the big Aruban after we took our shots!

via i304.photobucket.com

Me and Mr. Ace himself he was really a nice guy.

via i304.photobucket.com

Here is Big Red and myself he is definately more interested in the strippers next to me than he is in taking a picture!

via i304.photobucket.com

Me and Bradley he was really happy to talk to his fans.

via i304.photobucket.com

This is me and Ramon he is tiny, and told me he was thinking of bringing back the Stache!

via i304.photobucket.com

Me and the Great Hambino I gave him some hitting tips and he's been hitting HR's every since.

via i304.photobucket.com

This is my sainted wife with the Electrician I dont know what she did to him but he hasnt gotten an out since. I trust there will be no unessecary comments on my wife!

via i304.photobucket.com

we stayed after to listen to Josh and Katie speak and give there testimony, God has really done some tremendous things in there life and I believe they will be here for a long long time.

via i304.photobucket.com

David Murphy and his wife showed up to watch Josh and Katie its good to see some Commorodrie on the team.

via i304.photobucket.com

And Finally here it is for all the haters out there my best friend in the world SALTY he said he really admires my opinion and is glad to know me. He said to tell all the Hater's out there to lay off me he knows I am a fan of his.

So there it is after spending 10 hours at the ballpark 10am to 8pm getting sunburned and bullpen burned it still turned out to be a good day. Hopefully our bullpen will straighten up and our starter will get everything back home taken care of.

The Reinforcements are here

blueballlefty — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:47:55 -0000

We have placed AJ on the dl, purchased the contract of the Lizard and here is the big surprise, we option T.Metcalf to AAA and recall Loe, we have no backup infielder for tonight and it seems they are planning for Byrd to be the backup middle infielder and Shelton to be the backup 3rd baseman which makes me wonder why it wouldnt be cat as the backup if, evan grant had a quote "Hey, we gotta survive tonight." but didnt say who he got it from.
