The other thing about Mauer (I've had him two years in a row in the jacket league) is he takes 1 out of every 4 or 5 games off which forces me to carry a backup C and check the lineups every day an hour before his team plays. This year he's definitely made it worth it for me. I just hope he stays healthy.

The Zambrano video is still available here though probably not for long. Cracks me up every time. I love how he's not appealing the suspension. I mean c'mon, he did nothing wrong. ;D

1. The bump
2. Tosses the ump
3. Tosses the glove
4. Beats the crap out of things in the dugout.

Would you say you have a man-crush on Joe Mauer? If or when you draft him next year, that's three years in a row, that's a man-crush!

But yeah, I know what you're saying. It's expected for a catcher to miss a Sunday day game, but with Mauer every game could be treated like a Sunday day game. But you gotta be love this month! Good luck this week in the Jacket league, looks like I won't be making up any ground.

I think I can go ahead and confirm a mancrush. Give me a C who can hit for average anyday. Posada faired well while Mauer was on the DL but I wish I would have picked up Inge while I had the chance.

The best part: he WAS safe. (oh, and Walt had him in fantasy against me this week ;D )

After a horrendous 9-game slide that found the former first place Jays drop down to third, Toronto has reeled-off two straight wins against the Red Sox. Great game today and "we're" now in second place!

There is nothing i would enjoy more, than to see the Jays finish ahead of the Yanks and the Sox. (Well except the Cards winning their division of course.)

So many people use that C in there logo. The Twins, The Bears, The Reds, A college team that I cant remenber right now. Any reason why?

.Walt · Jun 01, 2009, 09:34 PM

Good question. Not sure, but the Twins one is pretty subtle. The TC logo is my favorite one.

aMillionDreams · Jun 02, 2009, 08:16 AM

I'm going to see a Riverdogs game when I visit my Dad in Charlestown, SC this summer. That'll be fun. I also need to make it to more than a few Reds games this year.

*checks schedule

Back in the 1800's teams all shared hats. When one team went into bat they had to hand over their hats to the other team.

Cool pix dood! I did a lot of work on that building that that you can see the top of, just to the right of the Bay Bridge.

How was the game?
