Ruben Amaro, you sly dog.
And Bud Selig is getting a statue.
Leading Off
Do you know what's worse giving Bobby Abreu a gold glove award.
The idea that Bud Selig is getting a statue at a major league ballpark.
That's right, Southpaw fans, El Bud-O is getting the Branch Rickey and Connie Mac treatment.
Let's be honest folks, Bud Selig is no Branch Rickey or Connie Mack.
He's no Happy Chandler. He's no Fay Vincent.
Regional Roundup
- This is kind of bizarre. By the way, anyone who watched Cole Hamels pitch in 2009 and thought he pitched like he did in 2008 is ridiculous.
- The Nationals and injuries. So many injuries.
- More age problems in Pittsburgh.
- Maybe the Os were better off not signing Erik Bedard.
Best of Rest
- CitiField is getting a facelift.
- If the Shu fits.
- Issues with the Dodgers' arms.
- Tim Lincecum could be offended by the Giants' offer.
Batter's Eye
- The dust-up over Sabermetrics seems to have come to a close.
Wisdom from Springfield
A thought-provoking quote from the Southpaw's favorite animated show, "The Simpsons."
- From Troy McClure: "Don't kid yourself, Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about!"
Today in history
1914-- Veteran umpire Hank O'Day, who managed the 1912 Reds, signs to skipper the Cubs. Wonder how many calls he argued.
1971-- Former Negro Leagues P Satchel Paige is nominated for the Hall of Fame. On June 10 the Hall's new Special Committee on the Negro Leagues will formally select Paige for induction.
What to watch on YouTube
The Southpaw wastes time finding gem's on Youtube so you don't have to.
The Closer
Ruben, All I can say is, "Wow." We'll never doubt you again. Assuming you knew this was in the works, you're the new Machiavelli.
