He didn’t hustle to first base hard enough. Sad part is that he was actually going as fast as he can. He’s just that slow

Could be the start of my best-case trade deadline scenario. Trade Garko, trade Ben Francisco, keep Victor, bring up LaPorta, bring up Brantley.

the number 9 prospect in a good system. He’s a good lefty. He altered his delivery at the end of his last year at St. Johns and that helped him improve his velocity. He throws low 90’s with good sink. Has decent secondary pitches. After being drafted in the 8th round last year, he moved quickly to the Sally and dominated the competition. He’s been quite good in the Cal League this year, averaging a strikeout per inning. He turns 22 in September. You guys should be happy about what you’re getting.

Well this is good news at least

Tim Brown and Gordon Edes of Yahoo! Sports report that the Angels have “shifted their emphasis” to Cliff Lee after being frustrated in their pursuit of Roy Halladay. The Halos do not want to part with Joe Saunders, Erick Aybar, Brandon Wood, and another prospect for a single pitcher, even one as great as Halladay, and they believe they can land Lee with a lesser package.

Awesome shot of Garko loading his crap into a car. You think he’s just driving up the 5 to San Fran?

Or best, when you consider it’s Perez Hilton. Good lord do I hate that man.

It’s actually one of the things I miss most about law school, not reading Perez on the laptops of the girls in front of me in class.

Not sure if that says more about me or about how boring law school is.

What is Garko going to do with his nice Indians duffle bag? I hope he keeps it for the memories.

Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
