http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/nationals-jayson-werth-needs-to-think-before-he-talks/2011/05/26/AGufvJCH_story.html Haha, looks like the DC media has finally turned on J-Dub. Kind of surprised it took this long. I know all of the Philly beat writers and columnists were not exactly upset when he left. Similarly, I am liking the decision to give big money to Cliff Lee over Werth more and more. Lee has not been his studly self, but I am liking him a lot more than what I am seeing from Werth.

You should check out the "user created" quizzes. There are many new ones added every day. Lots of them suck, because anybody can create one, but there are a lot of quality ones.

FYI it is "sporcle" not sporacle. And yes, it is an addiction.

It took you until this season to realize Dice-K sucks?

Really shitty for Posey and for the Giants, but I can't help but laugh at his agent calling for MLB to ban catchers from blocking the plate. Let's get real...

I was not at the game unfortunately (went last night and going tomorrow...of course I skip the epic one). I was having a beer and sports night at a friend's house. Absolutely epic. Everything about that game was fantastic. I love baseball.

Well, I was right. The three Canuck fans I was chatting with during the game did indeed pipe down after those three goals!

Brian Rafalski retires. John Buccigross just pointed out that if Nick Lidstrom retires also, that is about $12 mil of cap space for the Red Wings. Wow. Obviously this is before new contracts for current players, but regardless, they will have a ton of money to play with.

Rollins Utley Polanco Howard Ibanez Ruiz Brown Mayberry Hamels Good news - Charlie has a pulse.

Almost as funny as this

Just my 2 cents....I think the Mets have to trade him. Not even a question. Basically for the reasons Fish said. And even with all of the big contracts coming off the books soon, I don't see where the money for a Reyes mega-deal comes from.

I don't consider Lee our #2, but regardless, I'd still take our top 2 over yours .

Chase Utley activated, Pete Orr optioned to Lehigh Valley. Also, Joe Blanton to DL, Vance Worley recalled, will start Tuesday. Thank goodness.

Luke Hochevar and Jeff Francis

Felix dominating the Padres lineup? NO WAY!!!

And the Canucks score three 5-on-3 goals in the span of less than two minutes. Guess all the Canuck fans will pipe down about officiating now.

Make it 16 flyballs through 8 shutout innings. Seriously, never seen a guy this mediocre look so dominant as a result of facing a bad lineup. (Not saying Harrison is mediocre, I am a fan of his, but today he was very mediocre).

Scott Podsednik signed to a minor league deal. Not the worst for depth purposes, I suppose.

Matt Harrison is not good at all today. 14 flyball outs, more walks than strikeouts, shaky command across the board. Leave it to the Phillies offense to allow him to throw a shutout through 7 innings. So unreal.

Yankee Stadium is a pretty nice place.

Simon Gagne is good at scoring game winning goals when his team comes back from down 3-0 vs. the Bruins.

Dom Brown babby.

Welcome back, Domonator.

Chris Iannetta should be banished from the league permanently for striking out three times against Kyle Kendrick/Danys Baez. And I should be given some sort of award for sitting through nine innings of cold, rain, Kyle Kendrick, Danys Baez, and the Phillies offense.

As of right now, I feel like the lineup should be... Rollins Polanco Utley Howard Mayberry LF Brown RF Victorino Ruiz Obviously pending Utley and Victorino getting fully healthy/rehabbed. But Ben Francisco has pretty much shown his bat can't be in the lineup every day. Nothing more than a 4th outfielder. The same may be the case with John Mayberry, but I have liked his approach so far this season much more than Ibanez's/Francisco's. And it's time to stop screwing around with Brown. .341/.431/.537 in AAA right now (compared to Ibanez - .225/.281/.338 and Francisco - .218/.327/.346). Not to mention, that outfield (J-Berry/Vic/Brown) would be nasty. Not sure any balls would drop in. Three guys with the range of CFs and cannons for arms. Ah, too bad this is just a pipe dream. Charlie is way too loyal to "his guys".
