Manny Ramirez opted out of his deal with the EDR Rhinos out of Taiwan and wants back in MLB. He batted .352 and hit 8 homers.

That's like a Yankees tradition though. Only difference is ClockShot posted it here instead of calling into a radio show.

Another horrible showing by Bailey. Ended up getting demoted again by the Red Sox from the closer's spot and is either the 2nd or 3rd time this season that's happened.
Around 7 runs allowed, 4 HRs, and 3 blown saves in the span of about a week. |

Theo's put the For Sale sign up in front of Wrigley. I guess alot of bodies are available from Fonsie, Matt Garza, Kevin Gregg, Nick Schierholtz, and David DeJesus could be on the move soon.

Pathetic showing from the Diamondbacks last night. Dunno how they expect to ever win a game playing like that.

I don't remember seeing Brett Cecil wearing those dope glasses when he was starting, perhaps they are the key to his success

Brett has always worn them. Cecil had lost velocity while he was starting but was very good against lefties so the Jays put him in the pen as a LOOGY and told him to throw as hard as he wants.

Hmmm, either way I approve of the glasses. I like it when baseball players wear glasses.
Eric Sogard is the only other one I can think of right now |

Guy looked like a high school math teacher but his forkball was as nasty as they come. He was the Jays closer when I first started following the Jays.
Nickname was The Terminator |

Lol yeah, John Cerutti gave it to him.
Won the Reliever of the Year award in 95 and retired. Was probably the closer of the late 80's/early 90's. |

also Corey Dickerson made his debut for the Rockies today and he sounds exactly like Kenneth from 30 Rock. It's real weird.

Someone brought up that maybe it's the Dome that Toronto throws in, but he's got an ERA over 4 and is 3-4 on the road. When you watch him he's all over the fucking place with his knuckleball.

Think the ideal conditions for that type of pitch is either little to no wind so it can't be the dome's fault.
If he's lost control, probably going to be weeks to maybe a couple of months before he can get it back using Tim Wakefield as the recent example. When Wakefield lost command over the pitch, that was basically it for the season or wouldn't regain it until near the end of the season. |

I've been rooting so hard for Dickey, but he just looks so different from last year. Last year his command was spot on and his "angry knuckler" (knuckleball that went 80+ MPH) was perfect for strikeouts. This year he's just all over the place.
Mets still look like geniuses for that trade, although I'm starting to doubt Travis d'Arnaud makes his debut this year as he hasn't even been cleared to run on ground. If he's back playing by late July I can see him finishing out the Triple A season and then getting a couple of weeks of playing time as a September call-up but that's about it. I'm more excited about Noah Syndergaard than anything. Got bumped up to Double A yesterday and he seems to be similar to Matt Harvey in that he's an absolute perfectionist. The thought of Harvey, Syndergaard, Zack Wheeler, Rafael Montero, and Jon Niese all being in the rotation by 2015 has me wet. |

Niese needs to have a rotator cuff for that to happen.

Niese has taken a big step back this year. But he's still young, left-handed, and under an affordable contract for a long time. I'd take him as the crafty lefty in a rotation featuring four young righty fireballers.

Diamondbacks showed again that they're overmatched in high pressure situations.
