- Sorry for the extra day but since I'm up for entering the draft there is no way I can work Sat night, enter the draft Sunday (which will take hours), and go back to work Sunday night. I will be able to do it Monday AM after work since I am off that night.

I think Steve Suarez has finally arrived.

[Spear]

We could get used to this 1st place thing.

[umd]

Shop Vegas. Great deals.

[funclown]

Ummm, glad to be back on the road?

Pawtucket 3-3.... again. Past two season the first half has been annoying. Why we are struggling at home is just crazy. Good news is we are a pain in the ass on the road and salvaged the week even gaining some ground in both the wildcard and division.

know one said this would be easy.

The rookie, (SP) Mendoza making an early move for IL ROY Award.

Him and B.J. Jobe will forever be linked.

[Z]

I'm trying not to get too excited, but I feel like we could be really, really good this year.

We have the highest scoring offense in the league despite both our BLB catchers being on the DL.

Our rotation has been good.

Our bullpen has been giving up an unusually high number of home runs. If that doesn't continue -- and I hope it doesn't, because our scout says I have five guys in my pen who could close -- then maybe we're for real.

Took him long enough. I wasn't sure he'd ever get there.

[Z]

Took him long enough. I wasn't sure he'd ever get there.

He's been one of the two or three best defensive players in the league the past few seasons, so I've been happy to have him regardless.

But if he can put up a .750-.800 OPS, he's an All-Star type player.

[Sully]

We might have the worst offense the BLB has ever seen. At least Hyon is having a nice season offensively. That's about it.

That is a serious rebuild. A very exciting challenge that I know you can handle.

I'm kinda jealous you get to overtake that. I make a change here, tinker there, and then I'm done for most sims.

My scout says that about almost every bullpen arm since the version change.

Really? I'd love some supportive data on this.

He had a great 2003 in terms of range but 12 errors for an outfielder is a lot. And in 2001 and 2002 he didn't do anything that makes me think he's one of the best "two or three" defensive player in the league.

I'm seeing this as well. Don't like it one bit.
