Matt LaPorta will be starting tonight for Columbus. At first base.

Shap wants to be able to say to Dolan “Of course he’s managing poorly, he doesn’t have LaPorta”

So when was (is) the LaPorta date of fiscal freedom? I’m assuming it must be in the future as Benny is still patrolling the outfield in Cleveland rather than the Columbus.
by pdxtribefan on Jul 3, 2009 7:19 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I think all the magic dates have been passed, so there’s no service time reason for keeping him in Columbus.

Well, isn’t this interesting then? On the other hand, Huff looks like he’s coming around…
by pdxtribefan on Jul 3, 2009 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
they need to drop 2 pitchers before they can add LaPorta, because the 1st drop is needed to create space for Abreu

and there are currently only 12 position players on the roster
by palcal on Jul 3, 2009 7:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wedge should have demanded more two-way players. If we really prize versatility, we need our position players to all be able to pitch out of the pen. New draft strategy!

A. Laffey just gave up 6 runs in the bottom of the first. Hmmm, maybe he needs one more tune-up outing? Fausto on Sunday night! Right handed Jeremy Sowers! I actually am encouraged by whoever made the decision to force him to pitch without the power stuff. He needs to be able to command and change speeds.

I expected to be in Bowie right now watching the Aeros beat the BaySox but on the way a young driver in front of me panicked and stopped right in front of me. Dead stop! Bam! My car is in the shop and I’m back home cursing young drivers, the Indians, Wedge, Shapiro, Marte (why not?), and anyone else I don’t like at the moment. Crap!

Here’s some fun — BP’s projected wins, based on current wins plus projected wins from simulations based on third order wins:
Nats – 61.5
Indians – 69.8
Orioles – 70.1
D’backs – 70.4
Padres – 71.1
A’s – 71.3
Royals – 71.5
Pirates – 76.8
I am not buying this, though. I think we’ll end up with the 6th or 7th worst record.

They improve circulation by narrowing the blood vessels in your extremities. On your arm, it would help to prevent swelling. I’m sure lots of athletes wear compression socks too. If you know anybody with diabetes or other circulatory problems, you’re familiar with those.

On purpose or just because you were blinded by your own awesomeness?

Well, it’s like, hypothetically, I’m 25, I get paid to throw a baseball, and I’m very probably unfit for any other profession. What good is a nice haircut going to do me?

Of course he is. Anyone who shops at Costco is a babe in my book.

Garko caught Gosling at Stanford. In a game like this, why not let them try it again for old times sake?

Choo passes DeRosa in RBI, now 4 behind Vic, the only starter not to get a hit tonight.
by palcal on Jul 3, 2009 10:32 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Not a stretch to say Choo may very well finish the season for the Indians with the highest avg., obp, and most rbis, bb, sb. And if he really gets hot in the 2nd half, can even take over V-mart in hits.

This Vic guy sucks. We should have sold high on him before tonight. Now his value is ruined.
