that's a tough one

it does give the player taking them an energy boost. though i imagine they could get that “legally” from 5 hour energy or having a cup of coffee or something like that. it’s a slippery slope…

Some amphetamines should be banned.

You don’t want players shooting meth or popping greenies willy-nilly.

On the other hand, I’ve had a Ritalin prescription for almost 15 years now, and that’s technically an amphetamine too. If that’s what people are getting caught for, that’s a bunch of bullshit.

Hopefully you will have an opportunity to see what a bad investment Street is.

I hear tell you’re thinking of trading for Jon Rauch of my Nationals. A much better, cheaper option.

have we talked about Street here at all? can't remember...

unless Street’s injured, he’s an excellent pitcher. relative to their potential cost (trade and salary), Rauch might be the better option.

stealing a quote from the Brewers game chat

"Twins general manager Bill Smith, on Livan Hernandez, who improved to 10-6 with a 5.29 earned-run average with Saturday’s victory over Texas: "I’ll take the (10) wins. Who do you want, a guy who’s 10-15 with a 2.80 ERA or a guy who’s 16-8 with a 7.00 ERA? I’ll take the 16-8."

yep, Friedman’s ok.

Okay, fine. If the 7.00 ERA pitcher somehow has better peripherals than the 2.80 ERA pitcher (ridiculously unlikely), then you've got a point.

Somehow I don’t think that’s what Bill Smith was talking about.

This may just be smoke-blowing for the purposes of justifying Liriano remaining in the minors.

Because of Steals

Rookie of the Year, AL: Jacoby Ellsbury, Red Sox.

Ellsbury is hitting only .269 but he has stolen 35 bases and scored 60 runs. He gets a slight edge over Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria and Texas’ David Murphy.

Rogers was the same guy who awarded teams

I went to the game on Friday

During Floyd’s second at bat I think, a couple of people in my section started yelling “hit the ball Floyd”. Me in my drunkenness blurted out very loudly, “Yeah Floyd, hit the ball. HIT IT LIKE THE FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD!” I think he heard me because he immediately smacked a weak dribbler to 2nd and everyone in my general vacinity burst into laughter.
