I had a dream last night that the NL got the DH and the Cubs signed Alfonso Soriano to play DH. He had grey hair and a grey beard and hit a bunch of dingers. I have no idea.

I think that was the original version of the ending to Raising Arizona.

The vintage baseball league fell through. I was the only female sign-up and the manager started by asking if my tits would interfere with baserunning. gently caress that. Hopefully I can get on a rec softball team this summer.

I was going to say it sounds like that manager is just taking the era too seriously.

Ah man, one of the old SAS Baseball posters passed yesterday. I cannot remember his forums name for the life of me though. I remember he was a pitcher for ECU though back in 2009 or so (at least that's when we became FB friends). Super nice guy, just had a child

1) Definitely not

Go with the Julio Franco or the Craig Counsell.

Was that the guy who went on and on about the Mike Marshall method or whatever? Not trying to be derisive but that's the only thing that came to mind, SAS posters dying is sad :(

I need help. I'm finally getting rid of this tragedy of an avatar and I wanna get Dansby up on this piece.

Thing is I'm not creative at all. Any ideas? Currently looking for pictures - only idea I had was something featuring the double play between him and phillips the other day.



I like this one too, but the sizing probably makes it tough for avatar size.

The ideal swing mindset is just to step up to the plate and imitate Gary Sheffield as closely as possible.

This is my strategy for beer league softball so I don't know how well it works in MLB but I figure there has to be some carryover.

is the field is below street level? That would likely put it below sea level, which could cause a serious drain issue.

The people who run Petco aren't used to rain, so they only have a gas station squeegee to dry the field.

It has rained a lot here the past 24 hours, and the field is roughly even with street level, which in that area is barely above sea level.

I wonder if there's something else going on though, because today was far from the first day of heavy rain we've had this winter.

Yeah today (and yesterday) was pretty light in comparison. Last week there was some pretty torrential downpours, and we've had many heavy rainstorms this year.

Danny Espinosa's beard is loving fantastic.

Yeah, half the team goes to one game and half the team goes to another. That way the coaches can see more prospects and invitees in action during spring training. And you get to see dingers by minor league guys you've never heard of!
