I wish I could see all these blocked-out images. Can the Phils trade for Franceour next?
It's the Nik Cage laughing gif.
Someone at Crashburn alley made that joke too. (A flyers fan I follow retweeted it).

Sounds good to me. Just bring in everyone and hope someone sticks.
I'm with this. I mean, I'm real happy hockey is back, but it doesn't have the same effect on me as baseball. Plus, I always find this off season stuff boring, give me some games!
Aside from Baseball being my favorite sport, I love the idea of games everyday. It just consumes me.

Windu are you making the MLB 13 Thread? Man can't wait for some baseball.
Keep the hype train going. The tears will be glorious.
That makes the yankees' offseason look good in comparison.

The Padres have avoided arbitration with Luke Gregerson, agreeing on a 1-year, $3.2 million deal. The Padres' remaining cases are Chase Headley and Clayton Richard.
The tears of excitement from the World Series victory!

Confident that Cast will get the Latos extension done.

I think he'll make the final roster. He was great for my hometown team in helping them reach the finals in the mexican winter league. He's also playing in the Caribbean series for team Mexico next week.
I had a dream Friday night the Braves were up on the division by 7 on June 1st, 11 on August 2, and finished 6 up. Someone gave me tickets to the divisional playoff game and my car got 3 flats on the way to Atlanta and I missed the game.
The reason I remember it was because the dream had a newspaper article that Uggla only had 7 errors by the middle of August. It was the lead story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution sports section.
That's when I said to myself, that was only a dream.

Nick Johnson finally gave it up and retired.
Maybe he will freeze himself for future cybernetic enhancements.
nope, wouldn't have minded getting KJ. If he bounces back start him, if not then he is just a bench bat. Of course the rays spoiled those plans. I just don't like sitting on this money. Our farm system is pretty thin now so I don't know what kind of move we could make at the deadline.
I haven't made the show thread in a couple of years. Haven't been keeping up with the progress of the game either. If you want to make a thread then be my guest.
Yep. Hopefully the Braves will have the money to resign people because it will be awhile before the system is restocked.
The Mets giving the Braves their top draft pick would help.
I'm looking forward to see how much further the Astros can possibly fall.
Well, there is some good news
Delino DeShields Jr. is ranked 7th in 2nd basemen.
Carlos Carerra is 5th in Shortstops.
Things can only go up from here, right?
Well, remember the Braves will just get a sandwich round pick, not their actual pick. That would still be useful though since the team gave up its first round pick to sign BJ.
And I'm not so down on the farm system myself. There's talent, it's just all in the lower minors basically. Another year of development and a good draft would go a long way.
The 1991 Braves team compared to the 2012 Athletics team:

Really loved the original gothic C the reds used. Wish we would go back to it, our logo now is so generic.
That '50-'59 Red Sox logo is pretty lol-worthy as well.

What is it with the Japanese and bat flips?

guess its a early release? lol its a real article though bro, mlb network talking bout it now.
Fuck.
I guess the good news is that MLB's drug program is improving, considering that most of the names in baseball were already linked... but Gio? Shit.

Best logo was 90's logo. I hate the baseball head dude (Mr. Red/Redlegs/Rosie), with the creepy soulless "Red the Harbinger" being a notable exception.
He's a fan favorite!
As for the old C... I'll be honest, I think the wishbone C shits all over it.
Doesn't matter about their journalistic track record. Was Canseco trustworthy? The truth is, when it comes to PED's, where there is smoke, there has always been fire. They could have just as easy accused Ken Griffey Jr. of roiding up looking at his numbers, but nobody has. There's something to these allegations, always. I used to be skeptical, but I no longer feel this way. Gio and Cruz are guilty, you can take that to the bank.

Rosenthal said its not clear if Gio or Nelson Cruz actually bought anything banned from there.
Yeah, apparently Aminorip isn't on the banned substance list. That's still shady as shit though, why would you order from him if you were clean? I've said before (and I'll continue saying) that I don't think HGH/roids have nearly the athletic effect that a lot of people give them credit for, and I do hate the PED witch hunt phenomenon, but whether they are cleared legally or not I find it hard to believe that either player is clean.
