He's a wrestling fan and he's the reason I'm in first in my pay league. That almost makes up for the fact that he's a Yankee.

I just realized the reason he went to 23 probably was because he was a Tiger at the time and it was in Detroit and they probably comped him the ticket...

What happened to Joe Buck's voice? Does he have a disease or something? This year he constantly sounds like he has to clear his throat.

Fox announcer Joe Buck can better appreciate what athletes mean when they say injuries turned out to be a blessing that made them appreciate what they already had. Sports Television By Michael McCarthy Fox announcer Joe Buck, here prepping for the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis, is working his way back after suffering an injury to one of his vocal cords. Fox announcer Joe Buck, here prepping for the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis, is working his way back after suffering an injury to one of his vocal cords. Buck nearly lost his voice and career over the last four months as he fought off a nerve ailment in his left vocal cord. He has been doing vocal exercises and taking singing lessons as part of his rehab. Although he can't go off on a call like new Fox colleague Gus Johnson, Buck will call Fox's telecast of Major League Baseball's 82nd All-Star Game on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET). The telecast will mark 42-year-old Buck's first big, national event since his illness. The son of legendary St. Louis Cardinals announcer Jack Buck will be in the booth with partner Tim McCarver for a record 13th All-Star Game. "When you get into it as somebody's kid, and you're around it your whole life, it just kind of seems like second nature," Buck said Sunday. "But when the idea of it is hanging in the balance or you feel like it may be taken away from you, you start thinking, 'My God, I really do love what I do.' I'd rather work than not work. I'd rather do a game than not do a game." Until a few months ago, Buck led a seemingly charmed life. He started calling Fox's MLB and NFL games in his mid-20s. He serves as lead play-by-play announcer for Fox's baseball and football coverage. However, he has had his career disasters. In June 2009, Joe Buck Live premiered on HBO, and comedian Artie Lange proceeded to embarrass Buck, telling him he should not have left the play-by-play arena. Buck couldn't rein in Lange. HBO dropped the show after three episodes. But nothing has been like the last few months. The trouble started for Buck after calling Super Bowl XLV. He caught a virus that weakened his left vocal cord. With therapy, Buck's pipes are back to about 85% to 90%, he told columnist Dan Caesar of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Despite a sometimes hoarse voice, he has called eight regional baseball telecasts on Fox this season. The illness has "made me stronger. And reminded me how much I love what I do," Buck said. |

Can't remember who on ESPN's Around the Horn show today said it but he ended up being correct on saying that the AL would struggle with pitching due to having too many quality pitchers unavailable today because most had pitched on Saturday and Sunday.
AL had the more powerful lineup but the NL was able to use Halladay and Lee for almost half the game while the AL had nothing similar. |

As long as he doesn't play in around 21 more games, Brewers can use him as either a setup or closer depending on the situation. Brewers don't want that $17+ million option clause to kick in or else K-Rod becomes another 1-and-done player for the Brewers.
Brewers didn't want to wait for Heath Bell and the only other player the Brewers had considered would have required the team to pay most of his salary. |

+ Cash from what I read. K-rod is probably gcnna be the 8th inning guy even though both him and Oxford are pretty good closers.
As for this guy Cristian Rodriguez(Said fan who caught Jeter's ball and then gave it back) I think it was kind of a dumb ass move especially after finding out this poor guy is 200,000 dollars in debt from College Loans. |

I'm going to try to predict the Cubs firesale.
Matt Garza- Red Sox. I think the Red Sox will make a big play for Garza. Elsbury in play? Probably not, but it will have to be a deal, sweet with great prospects. Aramis Ramirez- Angels or Giants. His trade value is as high as its ever been in a long time. Both these teams need a big bat to make a final playoff push. The Giants make so much sense and if I was Jim Hendy, I would demand Bumgarner. The Angels have prospects. Carlos Marmol- I'll be outraged if Hendry can't trade Marmol for something decent. Marshall would be better off as closer and Marmol is still a fairly attractive trade chip. I'm going to say he goes to the Twins. |

Yeah great move for the Mets. Plus I can't say I'm not happy about a division rival adding a clubhouse cancer to their roster.

The kid who caught Jeter's 3,000 ball keeps getting luckier by the minute.
If the IRS hits him with taxes, Miller Brewing Co. will foot the bill. Modell's will donate 5% of all Yankees merchandise sold from July 13-19 to the guy to cover his $100,000 college debts. |

Why every time you post do I think you're a Red Sox fan? I'm gonna take a guess are you a Reds fan? I don't think the Red Sox are gonna get Garza. Truth be told I can see the Red Sox trading for Beltran.

Ya, Reds fans. I don't talk about them that much in here though because 1) they've been rather Curtis Blanderson this season, and 2) this thread is a lot more interesting when it's not just everyone posting a comment about their favorite team and nobody engages anyone.

Brewers' GM says K Rod and Axford will both close games. When has closer by committee ever worked? This could be interesting.

I'd imagine once Axford blows just 1 game (let's be real he will and probably sooner rather than later) they'll just go to K-Rod every time unless he really blows (he might)

Yeah, but since they probably aren't going to be buyers...I was thinking of a place where he could go, have an impact, and contribute for the remainder of this season and into the Playoffs.
