Everytime Carlos Silva pitches, things get bizarre, which is entertaining, which Silva is not. Which is bizarre.

I know we give Silva a lot of shit...

but we really have to give him credit for not being a total piece of crap like HoRam and Weaver were/are.

You'll be giving him shit

once he crashes back to Earth and regresses to the mean.

MLB.tv commercial with Girffey talking about his approach to 600 homers.

Shows Mays,Aaron, and Ruth hitting their 600th homers.

No mention of Bonds or Sosa.

Not surprising

MLB is trying to clean up their image that’s been hanging around the steriod issue for the past few years…... Bonds and Sosa are both linked to that issue, right or wrong its good PR to avoid them in promotional announcements.

Has anyone seen me on Letterman? Two million people watch that show and I don’t know where they are. You might have seen this next comedian on the Late Show, but I think more people have seen me at the store. That should be my introduction. “You might have seen this next comedian at the store,” and people would say “Hell yes I have!”

AND IT SHOWED BASEBALL IN HD AND NOT JUST EAST COAST GAMES LIKE EPSN

they didn't get done playing until about 9p

last night… its doubtful that they’d be at the park in Cleveland yet. If they had plans to fly out yesterday to join the club they wouldn’t have remained in the Rainiers game. So the decision to fly them would have come sometime today, contacting-coordinating-and flying them there probably wouldn’t have gotten them to the game by now.
