Fair amouont of swapping going on today.
The Cardinals sent Anthony Reyes to Cleveland for AA RHP Luis Perdomo, who has potential but has been a bit old for his levels of competition through his career. Good pickup for the Indians.
Cleveland also dealt Casey Blake to LA for Jon Meloan and catcher Carlos Santana, who is a good-looking prospect. Another good deal for the Indians, although I’ve never been a Meloan fan. Santana can hit, is solid defensively and has a strong arm, not to mention he plays a killer guitar.

I'm just waiting for the rain to stop
so I can take a visiting friend down to the Gay Village, which is apparently free of vehicular traffic. The leather bar crowd doesn’t come out until much later, alas…or maybe those places have moved since I was last down there, circa early 2001.

I mean, couldn’t he schedule his breaks so that they occur outside of the MLB season?

HOpefully that guy who lost his horse calls the banana phone with an update

I met Marty last week!
I kept thinking that I was going to make this a FanWhatever but I haven’t.
I was at a luncheon last week where Marty spoke. He spoke for about an hour on whatever he felt like talking about and answered questions for 15 minutes. He was very entertaining and a great luncheon speaker. I’m not always a Marty fan but the guy is a legend for a reason.
He talked a lot about Joe. He even choked up about it. He told a great story about Joe, a former manager, a stripper and Bob Trumpy. I don’t want to tell the story b/c its really good and he can tell it better than I can write it.
He also talked about how he should have been fired for some of the things that he has said over the years. The night before he had really gone off on the team. He also said that he was going through a divorce and he was not going to be able to afford to retire for a while. This was the first that I had heard of this divorce. Has anyone heard that?
So we could get our picture taken with Marty after he spoke (I haven’t gotten mine sent to me yet). After I got my picture taken with him I asked him whether that was a prank when the guy in Maine called about his horse. Marty said that initially he thought it was a prank but as the call went on he realized the guy was serious. He said that it was by far the best call they’d ever gotten.
He also told the group that he is do dumbfounded that Corey Patterson is still on the team that he doesn’t even mention it anymore. He just feels sorry for him.
I know return you to your .gifs.
If you're not having fun, stop participating.
Cool story
So his divorce is going on now? Does this mean he’ll only get to broadcast with Thom on weekends?

Thom's custody
Only once school starts. They have the summer together.
Actually, because I live with a gossipy woman, I was wondering if he was married to Thom’s mother. Its none of my business but that was the question that went through my head.

What’s funny is I think he knows he’s a dick and just doesn’t care. Live the shows are strange and wonderful, but LOUD. J is shy and demure and a bit odd. My friend walked up to him and shook his hand and palmed him a gift bud and J looked elated but suspicious, if you can imagine.

It can be an odd experience talking to rock stars
I went to see the Dirtbombs open for Spiritualized last night. The lead singer/guitarist for the Dirtbombs is Mick Collins, this tall, ripped black guy who looks like the coolest motherfucker on the planet when he’s onstage.
When Spiritualized started playing, I wasn’t really feeling it and decided to go home. I turned to go, and Mick was standing right next to me. So I patted him on the back and told him he played a great show. He just looked really surprised, and said thanks. I just thought, “Dude, don’t you know that you just kicked so much ass? It’s astonishing that you can seem that surprised and genuinely grateful that I enjoyed myself.”

Shit, I shoulda told you to tell him that Don said hi (not that you have any idea who my dad is)
and I’ve been getting my Gories stuff together since you first brought up Mick. You want a cd?

First, Spiritualized sucked?
I loved Spacemen3 and the early records but I have not heard the new one. But yeah, I know what you mean. I had a crazy maddening crush on Carla Buzolich from Geraldine Fibbers (and Ethel Meatplow, and Watt’s first solo). I’m not a starstuck kind of person, but I thought her turds could not possibly have an odor. When I met her, she was clearly upset that the music was subpar and the set sucked and did I know Such and Such in Atlanta (which is where we were, and the Such and Such was Chan Marshal of Catpower fame, and yes I knew her, but that’s another story). Anyway, I was so disappionted in the experience of meeting her that I got drunk in an embarassing was and blithered on about Daniel Johnston for too long…

I like that place, even though I only went there once while I was living in Ohio (Drive-By Truckers and the Heartless Bastards). I believe that Bob Pollard, writing for Blender Magazine, called it the coolest venue in the country.

Funny
I saw Bob there a coupla years back. He had the best line I’d ever heard from a performer being fucked with after someone threw a beer bottle near him on the stage… he stopped the song and took his time, and took a long drink and looked out into the crowd and said, “You know, I don’t think that I would have paid $15 to get MY ass kicked.” Then launched into Hot Freaks. Perfect moment.

My former band was scheduled to play there in the ballroom in February, but it coincided with the White Death of 2008 so it got snowed out. I think it would have been an awesome venue to play.

No doubt
If Jocketty wants exibit A why this team gives up runs, the bad defense tonight gave it to him. 14 singles is simply unreal. That said, Bailey did not have a good night. His ab vs. Holiday was very good.
The loss of his breaking pitch and switch to the slider has kept him back. Once his offspeed stuff comes around, he will be fine.

Yeah me too.
It’s like he was raised with rules that gave him 4 strikes, because he blows right through those first three.
Same thing happened last night.

Let us remember
that Jorge de la Rosa came into this game with a 6.71 ERA. What a steaming pile of an offense.
Little know fact
An American Heritage Dictionary usage panel recently and unanimously approved the variant spelling of “hits” as “htis”.

am I the only one?

welterweights. Cotto is the only guy who could have given Floyd Mayweather Jr. an ass-whuppin, but he chose to retire instead.

Seapking of the Peoria/Dayton game
During the Cubs game today, Len Kasper said that he will reserve judgment until he hears what exactly was said down on field to provoke the mayhem. What a jackass. What could possibly justify throwing a baseball towards a dugout and into the stands like that?
Speaking of which...
...Julio Castillo made bail, and is out of the slammer. Doesn’t say who put up the cash.
He’s been demoted to rookie ball.

This evening's bludgeon fest
is the Mexican journeyman Margarito vs. the body punching Puerto Rican mauler in Cotto. No one wanted a fight with either of these guys, Certainly not Mayweather, and fo’ sho’ not De La Hoya. So, they have to fight each other. For a while there, welterweights were the best and most interesting weight class.

Round 4:
!0-9 for Cotto. More of the same. Margarito is fine as the aggressor but Cotto has a great chin and has the more accurate punches.

Round 5:
10-9 for Cotto. More of the same. Margarito is getting frustrated. I don’t blame him, but Cotto does not seem to be hurting the taller man, only beating him.

Round 7:
10-9 for Margarito. Damn near a 10-8 round but Cotto has a decent chin. Margarito beat his ass that round.

Round 8:
10-9 for Margarito…. The judges may see this round differently but the aggressor thing is paying off now. Cotto cannot fully fend him off.
