I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

I don't know that much about the other guy Gus Schlosser.

Schlosser has a 1.000 batting average.

I agree it's fine for Colorado, but odd for Atlanta. I thought Hale was competing for a starting spot.

They have at least 2 prospects competing for the 5th spot plus some veterans they signed to minor league deals with spring training invites so they probably assume they're good. He was probably going to end up in the bullpen or AAA by mid-season if any of the starting pitchers they have acquired are any good. They have almost no catching depth in their org other than a guy they got in the AAA round of the Rule V draft.

Moncada now cleared to sign with any MLB team.

Are there any other foreign players who could make the move to the MLB in the near future that are worth some teams holding off on Moncada so as to avoid hitting the international spending limit? Trying to figure out whether I'm rooting for the Dodgers to end up with him (would make since given 3/4 of our infield will be free agents after this year) or somebody else like Maeda.

Would you like to play a game?

Hector Olivera is another guy from Cuba who is probably also cleared now. There's also another guy named Andy Ibanez.

11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
Did that middle infielder Jose Fernandez sign yet?

That's Colon as a Capybara, for those of you not up on your KBC/giant rodents.

I don't suppose anyone knows anyone who knows anything about the Orioles ticketing office? They're still screwing me around with the deposit I placed in September for a partial 2015 season plan, this was the last I'd heard from them (after sending two emails) last Tuesday, January 20:

quote:

Thank you for contacting the Orioles. We are finalizing the Season Plan Details for the 2015 season. It is looking like fans that placed a deposit for the 2015 season will be contacted one day next week with an update pertaining to the seat selection process. You will be able to pick your seats online.

Should I try getting in touch over the phone? They only provided the standard ticketing number so I'm not sure if I'm actually going to get anywhere by calling it.

Tell them the Blue Jays have made you a better offer.

Call the standard Orioles phone number ask to speak with a season ticket sales rep.
