B.J. Upton doesn't like his steaks rare because it's too much work to cook them.

He just eats them right off the side of the cow.

This division of labor makes it necessary for people to know exactly how much their goods are worth in comparison to another good; otherwise they would be unable to successfully trade.

Yeah, they filed an action to get back some of his salary

Arguing that his gross negligence and recklessness resulted in the injury that took him out of the lineup, and that they deserved the money back.

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. The White Sox ought to do the same thing to Carlos Quentin.

I just realized the other night I have a completely different perspective of the team.

I agree with Matthew

I have gone to a LOT of M’s games the last couple of years. There is rarely anything to root for. A strike out here or a good play there. But nothing like the playoffs.

I remember Mike Cameron saying in 2001 that Safeco was “the best party in all of Seattle… that started at 7pm” (wink wink).

We have a few back-to-back 95 win seasons and SafeCo will be like that again. 100% full of passionate fans screaming and yelling without the use of the big board telling us to make “NOISE”.

You would be killed and dropped in a dumpster. Your spirit would then go on to haunt Ken Griffey Jr.

Even if we could tell that Griffey was being haunted, and that you were responsible, this would in no way allow us to pinpoint the day on which your body was found, because we couldn’t be certain of when the haunting began. In order to know when your body was found, we would need somebody here to either be a member of the Chicago PD. But we know nobody here is a policeman, because a policeman would have reported some of us for things we have said. Unless he is a dirty policeman, but those only exist in The Toxic Avenger

Jason Bartlett looks alarmingly competent in his plate approach today.

Clearly the Ray’s MVP this seasons.

B.J. Upton has it harder than Rocco Baldelli.

With Rocco the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
With B.J. neither the spirit nor the flesh are really up for the job.

But the new one has no character.

You can’t make out who it is at this size. The Maddon Bear had character and was instantly recognizable.

I wonder if Grant Green can do the same...

He’s been compared to Longoria and Tulo. Longoria is having one helluva year.

Let them walk him when his team needed some run production.

Feh. Only one that I care about is the Brewers. And they're doomed.

Maybe CC will throw 15 innings today.
