  1. I was just coming on here to post the same thing...

    This guy has never been overly impressive, but he's sure taken a beating from fans over the course of his career.

    Remember when he was booed on Opening Day at Camden Yards after being announced on the orange carpet?

  2. Quote from Buck, per Roch...

    "We are going to let him sit on it for a day or so, let him get back to school and what have you and then get an idea (on when he would join Orioles). We'd like to have him," Showalter said. "We're not going to pressure him, push him. We want, though, when he decides that it is done, the NBA ain't there, then his full attention comes to baseball instead of coming right to us and then wondering. And now he goes back, now he comes back. He's got to get this out of his system and we are going to let him do it. Once he gets here, he's got to turn the page."

  3. A funny story involving Hammel after the end of yesterday's Cubs game...

    Jason Hammel came out firing inside Wrigley Field's interview room/dungeon.

    Once the Cubs pitcher sat down behind the microphone after Wednesday night's 7-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, he couldn't wait to tell reporters about Anthony Rizzo.

    "I got a good one for you guys," Hammel said. "Real good one. I got to throw my first baseman under the bus. He just congratulated me on my first NL win. Just make sure that everybody knows that Rizzo was not there with us in Pittsburgh last week, apparently. That's a good one. I didn't know I didn't win at all in Colorado either."

  4. Bonafacio is unreal! He was a waiver claim we could have had or never got to us?

    I really wanted Bonifacio and think he would have been a big upgrade over Lombardozzi, Weeks or even Flaherty as a utility IF for us this season.

    That said, he completely cleared waivers after being DFAed by the Royals. So, no team was interested, at least not at the price he was going for.

  5. Travis Ishikawa didn't last long in Baltimore, but he's the starting 1B for the Pirates to start the season.

    Technically, he's part of a platoon with Gaby Sanchez, but as the guy who starts against right-handed pitching, Travis will see a lot more playing time.
