If you're going to wear Phils gear, it might as well be that logo and color. I've been tempted to get one of those caps for a while now. Maroon is a sadly underused color nowadays.

My company won the Future50 SmartCEO award for the Philadelphia region and they gave us a bunch of swag. Well, my boss won it, but since we're basically a company of four people I have a bit of equity. Anyway, my boss knew I was a big Phillies fan so he let me have the Hoodie and I also got a Mitchell & Ness Duffel bag. It is so totally dope and comfortable. The only thing I don't like is that it's a bit distressed, but it's is very high quality work.

The Phanatic was there during the awards ceremony, but he took off before I got my picture with him : (

Yeah, I really like the color as well. Mitchell & Ness really is bringing style to sports memorabilia, I have to say.

Pretty fuckin nice. I was about to get that last August.

"People have the right to change their mind," Lidge said after the Nationals held their first official workout Tuesday. "They did that and I respect the front office. They've been nothing but unbelievable in my time there and it's a first-class organization, so I don't really have anything bad to say. I just wish they had been more honest early, so I would have known that I couldn't count on them later in the process."

It's business kid, suck it up. Same kind of business that got you to try the market. 'I wish I could have counted on the Phils so I could up my asking price or be my fall back bitch.'

Haha

It would appear that I am the consultant for the Land of Make Believe. And you better believe I'll take my job serious.

Do we know when his suspension is going to happen? I think if it happens later in the year, people will draft him early and then just draft a back up for a month and a half. If his suspension happens right away, I'm assuming he'll be a mid draft pick.

In a couple mock drafts I've done, I've been getting him around round 9 in 10 team league, Roto drafts.

I mean, an Oriole or two are going before him. AN ORIOLE

That's when I suspected him to go. I just know that his stock/round will go up if his suspension is later in the year. I'm not sure why but it seems to happen like that with injured/suspended players or amazing prospects.

Thanks for this.

Braves payroll has remained largely consistent over the years. Probably won't change much in the future either due to that albatross of a TV contract.

Sanjuro · Feb 22, 2012

Unless they split the money up, Orioles paid Albert Belle around $62 million dollars until 2003 for one season of work.

EDIT: Jango is already on it.

Belle didn't sign with the Orioles until the 1999 season. Current Braves GM Frank Wren was the Orioles GM that signed Belle!

And was fired after the season

Damn, it was 99? Knew it was around that time.

98 must have been the Cal/Brady/Roberto Alomar/Mussina/Palmeiro days. Two steroid users, 2 Hall of Famers, one future hall of famer. Ah, the good old days. Now I get to watch Robert Andino play with that gangsta swag!(at least he crushed Boston)

Mr. Enigma · Feb 23, 2012

Angels have signed Jason Isringhausen to a minor league deal/spring training invite.

Roy Oswalt is expected to sign with someone tomorrow.
