    Folks who wanted short term value upgrades in the BP were being logical, and that position made sense.

    Folks who wanted to dole out 3 year deals to BP arms were being typical ignorant Facebook fans...possibly "Top Fans".

    It's the length of contract on the previously cited guys that's the problem. I would have taken any one of them on a one-year deal. Can never tell with bullpen guys and every one of them has had success. I just don't think you ever throw multi-year money at relief pitchers at or near the age that most of these guys were last winter.

    Bruce might end up being the decisive factor in the NL East

    Bruce is on a power binge, but he's gonna cool off and be unplayable again. Only the Phils have no choice to play him.

    John Rocker’s son, Kumar Rocker, just threw a 19K no-hitter in the Super Regional for Vanderbilt.

    I was just fixing to post about this. One of the most unreal pitching performances I've ever seen. And he's a freshman

    I think you can still catch the highlights on that on YouTube. Probably the best old-school throwdown of all time. Bevacqua is hilarious.

    PS--The resin bag grenade toss by Wellman was truly inspired!

    Lee Elia rant is awesome as well.

    They said that Farnsworth spear is better than the WWE version and he got a lick on Wilson in that one. He was beating the piss out of him afterwards.

    They said in comments Ryan vs Farnsworth, but Farnsworth have a black belt and will tear Ryan apart in the octagon.

    The infamous Kurt?

    He is like Biff Pocoroba, names you don't see.
