Sean, your team is friggin 32-71, with the worst record in baseball. Talking shit really makes you look dumb just for that reason alone.

EDIT: Just took a look at Indy's stats - Jeff Clement was 3 for 4 with 2 HR in his first game with the Indians last night. A pretty good debut, I'd say. He'll definitely be up by the end of the year, and don't be shocked if he is our starting first baseman next season.

great news on Jeff Clement. Id imagine he will be one of the players to be called up when the rosters expand in september.

I also loved the pierogie taking out Teddy R last night in the race. Poor Teddy, still hasnt won a race yet this year.

If I'm not mistaken, he hasn't won a race period down in Washington. He didn't win any when I went there for a couple game at Nationals Park/RFK. Btw, he got taken out by a pierogie that isn't racing any more(Potato Pete)

yea he is the only one left not to win a race. That hit looked very Ovechkin-like with him leaving his feet to crush Teddy but nonetheless great hit overall.

Scott Van Pelt on Sportscenter last night compared it to being hit by Jack Lambert.

Lastings Milledge is a beast.

Instead of the left field loonies it is now Milledge People where people are dressed like the village people or Milledge Village

FYI, Adam LaRoche has been traded again by the Red Sox, back to the Braves for 1B Casey Kotchman.

Guess it didn't take them very long to realize how much he sucks - less than 10 days, in fact.

LOL.....I loved what the Buccos did. They didn't get ripped off in both trades.

Yeah, I accidentally hit the refresh button and it re-posted what I said above.

Anyway, if either Strickland or Diaz turn out to be anything half-decent, the Pirates will have stolen the Red Sox's lunch money in that deal since they turned around and dealt LaRoche just 9 days after getting him.
