So, has Adam actually ever pitched in the Ballpark at Arlington? oh, and Derek brought up Shane Monahan the other day-- his grandfather died saturday: "Bernie “Boom Boom” Geoffrion, the hockey Hall of Famer credited with inventing the slap shot, died Saturday before his No. 5 jersey was retired by the Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens went ahead with the ceremony before Saturday night’s game against the New York Rangers. Geoffrion’s wife, Marlene, his three children and his grandchildren were in attendance. His number went up right next to the No. 7 of Marlene’s father, Canadiens great Howie Morenz, just as Geoffrion predicted many years ago when the couple was dating."

For what Safeco Field charges for a brew these days, I doubt they’ll be getting *that* hammered this season.

I really hope this is an omen for the regular season. Beltre goes deep AGAIN!

How do we know that the replay is synced correctly? Besides, you have to figure that A-Rod's hit scores two.

You can judge whether his arms and legs are moving correctly, that's about it. How about that game the USA just flat-out stole from Japan? The Japanese should protest; that was the worst call I've ever seen. The Japanese player was on the bag.

In that case all your mountains of evidence may not mean anything because he may not be the player he was before. Foppert, for example. Except for guys who come in after rehabbing from an injury.

I think the chances that Appier, for instance, will be an effective pickup for us are exactly the same as they were before his one good outing. In fact I think the very idea that spring training has any value at all in determining who should play for us and who should not is crap. Teams that pretend it does hurt themselves by not relying on the mountains of evidence from places that matter. Spring training is a place for guys to get back in the swing of playing baseball every day without getting hurt.
