death to baseball nepotism

 

[RumblingRosco]

Long time St. Louis organ player Ernie Hays passed away on Wednesday. I always loved the organ playing at the old Busch Stadium growing up as a kid and as a result will always associate the Budweiser advertising jingle with the 7th inning stretch and a Cardinals rally.

This is sad.

 

[bozeman]

This is sad.

I know.

Last time playing at Busch:

And of course the song goes perfectly with the clydesdales coming out onto the field (and delivering a World Series trophy):

There's a Facebook group that just started called A Note For Ernie that is petitioning for the Cards to retire a musical note in his honor if you're interested in that.

Scott Boras is said to be looking for a contract in the area of 6 years, $100 million for Michael Bourn.

I hope the Nats enjoy him.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Shocking News

Seriously. It was time.

 

[ZeroRay]

Mike Redmond, eh honestly never heard of him before this.

 

[Lambtron]

Mike Redmond, eh honestly never heard of him before this.

He used to have rounds of batting practice in the nude to loosen up the Twins clubhouse.

The Orioles claimed Alexi Casilla off of waivers from the Twins. I'm not even mad.

 

[McNei1y]

I hope the Nats enjoy him.

We don't need him here. Harper is fine in CF and Werth is doing fine in the leadoff role. Give me a LF like Just In Up Ton and I'll be extremely satisfied.

Rangers make a qualifying offer to Hamilton but decline Napoli.



Edit: The Rangers have also told Alexi Ogando that he will start in 2013. I hope this doesn't mean they are giving up on Neffy....

He was looking for $160M with Ellsbury after 2011. haha

 

[Malo]

As expected the Yankees made a qualifying offer to Soriano, Swisher, and Kuroda.

 

[BFIB]

Mark McGwire has turned down the Cards offer to return as their hitting coach, and will accept a job with the Dodgers for the same position.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Oh boy...

Danny Knobler of CBS is reporting the Braves have shifted and are now "looking into the logistics" of signing Josh Hamilton.

"Hamilton out one month due to someone throwing a foam tomahawk at his eye."

 

[cashman]

Oh boy...

Offered without comment:

Josh Hamilton's asking price is 7 years and $175M.

 

[Windu]

This would be great just to see Braves-GAF's response

As I said in a previous post today.

This is sad.

I want it to happen just for that reason as well. It would be amazing.

 

[jbug617]

Looks like Ortiz's deal with the Red Sox will be 2yrs/26 million. Can get to 30 million with incentives.

[Rafa=FedKilla]

S Dan Haren isn't going anywhere?


Lol AlteredEnigma got me.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Deal between the Cubs and Angels is imminent.

Carlos Marmol is going to the Angels (Marmol already confirmed himself he's been traded to the Angels). Dan Haren is going to the Cubs.

 

[clemenx]

LOL Marmol is the center piece? Why isn't any team with a better reliever (every team) Is on that shit?

 

[cashman]

Haren is a player with back problems and declining velocity. Reminds me of a certain Roy oswalt.

 

[clemenx]

I admit not having seen him last season but I still think he's pretty good. Any reason to think he won't bounce back?

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Has Haren really fallen that far? I thought FG had a blog post with a graph showing improvement after he came back from the DL?

EDIT: Here it is.

 

[Mrbob]

Haren for Marmol?

Thesus at work.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Trade is official.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Brah can adapt though cuz of dat splitter and he has no desire to drive a tractor.

I like them too, especially those Friday/Alternates.

Now if only the site would come back up so I can do some window shopping for apparel.

Yeah, brah is nowhere near as bad as roy bathsalts. If he can come back than this is a fuckign steal, especially if Angels pay a significant amount for Haren.

Where you seeing the unis? Only saw the H logo looked pretty good.

He fleeced y'all and it pisses me off.

 

[jello44]

Woo~

 

[cashman]

Wow. The astros are going to lose in style next year.

 

[clemenx]

Damn, those look good.

 

[jello44]

Wow. The astros are going to lose in style next year.

Might as well look good doing it.

 

[McNei1y]

Pretty nice Jerseys. That's how you do it Miami.

 

[rekameohs]

Like I said before, I love the H Star logo.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Clemens, Oswalt, Pettitte, and Berkman will lose in style next year.

 

[eznark]

Haren for Marmol?

Thesus at work.

Maybe you'll catch the Pirates this year after all!

 

[rekameohs]

Uniforms are a little bland, but I like the logo.

 

[Malo]

2005 reunion? Someone tell Biggio to come out of retirement.

 

[cashman]

Hey guys, remember when Jerry DiPoto was a genius?
