Thanks for the info. Looks like I will be putting a wager on the Doyers...They easily go over .500

Also a wager on the Twins over

There's a more obvious name than that. Think on it.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

They named it red zone because they only show when teams have a shot at scoring (in the red zone) or a long score. Strike zone would be " show every pitch!"

Strike Zone is a broad pun playing off of Red. Zone. It's just a name.

I agree with the initial thought about a channel exactly like Red Zone though.

[bryehn]

I'm a pretty avid sports bettor, but from what I gather from forums, etc is that online betting is very, uhm...over-regulated in the US and it's tough to find a book that takes US customers. Technically, even providing info on off-shore books is illegal in most states, but as I'm in Ontario, I'd suggest bovada.lv (used to be bodog), pinnacle or sports interaction. I *think* they take US customers.

 

[eznark]

As soon as Bush passed the bill that allowed the feds to go after the banks that worked with sites like bodog, I cashed out.

And Votto is probably bolting soon. It's this year or bust!

Don't remind me. Then again, Votto will be over 30 when he leaves in 2 years, it might not be a bad idea to cut bait by that point, if you consider historically how most players decline after the 30th birthday. Anyway, that's what Redreporter told me to make me feel better.

Wish this was in the Vita version too. I could see this being something I'd play around with on the go quite a bit.

"It was fun the first couple of years. Then it got like, I'm never going to get out of this funk,"

"I let a few too many people tinker with me, maybe," Burnett said. "When you let that happen, you start doubting yourself sometimes. You wonder, 'Am I doing it right? Is this how it's supposed to feel?' and things like that. In '09, nobody messed with me. I was able to do what I wanted to do on the mound, whether it was turn around, close my eyes and pitch upside down. Then you have a few bad games and you start changing and listening."

"It's going to be a fresh start," Burnett said. "It's going to be fun. I'm going back to the National League, where I can hit and bunt and get the joy back into the game."

Look, you should know this better than anybody that you can't be a revolving door for talent when you are a small market team. You gotta strike while the iron's hot. They gave a lot up for Latos, but he could be the piece the Reds need to get to the NLCS. I can't stand another 2 decades of sub-mediocrity.

 

[newjeruse]

Chipper looks like he drank too many MGD's this off-season.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Athletics sign Manny Ramirez. Minor league deal. He will not be eligible to play in big league games until June 2.

Good point.

If you notice, I have tempered expectations. I fully expect to never see another championship in my lifetime, in any sport. Reaching the NLCS would be probably the most I could expect. I'd be happy with that.

Manny Ramirez told ESPN's Pedro Gomez on Monday that he has agreed to a deal with the Oakland Athletics.

Sources tell Gomez the deal is worth about $500,000. Ramirez is obligated to serve a 50-game suspension without pay before beginning play for the A's due to violating baseball's drug policy for the second time. With no rainouts, the first game Ramirez would be eligible to play is June 2 at Kansas City.

The A's recently agreed to terms on a $36 million, four-year contract with highly sought after outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, a Cuban defector who has expressed interest in playing with Ramirez.

At baseball's winter meetings in December, it was announced that Ramirez had applied for reinstatement. He had his suspension for a second failed drug test cut to 50 because he sat out nearly all of last season. MLB had announced his retirement April 8, saying he was notified "of an issue" under the drug program.

Ramirez, who will be 40 on May 30, ranks 14th on the career list with 555 home runs. He went 1 for 17 (.059) in five games last season for Tampa Bay, which had signed him to a one-year deal worth $2.02 million.

This would be the 20th major league season for Ramirez, a career .312 hitter with 1,831 RBIs. Oakland, which traded away its top three pitchers this offseason including two starters, could use a power bat in the middle of the order in a tough AL West that already has seen the key additions of Albert Pujols on the Los Angeles Angels and star Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish for the two-time reigning AL champion Texas Rangers.

The A's haven't reached the playoffs or had a winning season since being swept by the Tigers in the 2006 AL championship series.

If you had hope in this guy:

I don't know how a team can be so fucking poor up and down its entire roster, system included. Depressing.

He'd have to if he wanted to conceive in time for a February '13 delivery.

I wasn't alone putting hope in that guy. He had a monster year, and the Jackets were in the playoffs. The person I feel sorry for is Rick Nash. He was far too good to die on this team. Hope they can do a little Latos fleecing of their own and get some decent value out of him.

Smart of him, we won't have to watch him go out in flames like some relievers we know. Hopefully.
