Tallet signed with St. Louis. Plus,. the Jays already had Downs as a lefty specialist. I HATED Tallet with a passion. It pretty much means the Jays gave up on a game when he entered.

The composition of the jurors, identified publicly only by number, judging Barry Bonds in his trial on perjury and obstruction charges:

• Juror 56: Woman, 57, nurse.
• Juror 42: Woman, 19, college student.
• Juror 36: Woman, 25, aid-giver to developmentally disabled.
• Juror 6: Woman, 30, autism support specialist.
• Juror 97: Woman, 27, phlebotomist.
• Juror 69: Man, 68, temporary shipping clerk.
• Juror 66: Man, 60, data center engineer.
• Juror 3: Woman, 51, client service administrator.
• Juror 19. Woman, 26, food server.
• Juror 90: Man, 57, IT manager.
• Juror 73: Woman, 28, nurse.
• Juror 21: Man, 68, retired cashier.

I don't think this is good for Barry. Of the 12 jurors, 8 are women, and it'll probably be easier for them to buy the whole "Barry Bonds wanted to hit more home runs, so he took these magical substances called Steroids, which make you instantly get more muscular, and hit more home runs" deal.

It wouldn't make a difference. Bonds has been absolutely hammered in the media. if they read the Sports Illustrated article discussing his insecurities in not being recognized, his racism, and his affair where he bought the chick a house, on top of pissing all over Hank Aaron, who is heralded, they'd have a certain view of him regardless.

I think Bonds is done for.

Of course, if they'd read that or any article, they wouldn't be eligible for the jury in the first place.

Some MLB news:

Mark Cuban drops out of the Mets ownership bidding after loosing intrest in becoming a part owner and being prevented repeatedly of owning a majority stake in the team. Donald Trump still in the bidding but will drop if he isn't allowed the chance to bid for a majority stake in the team.

Cuban's quote:
Quote:
"I've been through this before, but call me crazy: When I write an $800 million check, I want somebody to kiss my ass. I don't want to have to beg and grovel to write that check."
Yankees decide that Jeter will share his lead-off spot regardless if Jeter likes it or not with Girardi swapping the lead-off hitter based on the throwing arm of the pitcher.

Giants believe their closer Wilson will be available for Opening Day. His injury got downgraded to mild side strain.

White Sox confident Jake Peavy will return soon after rehab from his current injury but do expect him to miss the first 3-4 starts of the season.

Red Sox believe an extension for Adrian Gonzalez will occur no later than April. The Red Sox didn't want to get hit by the Luxury Cap tax so any deal done will have to occur after Opening Day week and wanted to see him play a bit after recovering from surgery late last year.

I'm pretty sure the parameters and and agreeance on a long term deal were hammerd out months ago for AGon. They're just biding their time, right now.

And I pray for Jake Peavy's health. Love that guy.

I think he has too many holes in his swing for 30 hr. He struck out over 100 times last year in over 400 at bats. 125 RBI is a ton.

A. It was bound to happen.

I think Mitre might have been let go of soon anyway. Mitre was the odd man out with Colon pitching well and Garcia probably getting a shot.

I'm hoping its Nova-Garcia in the rotation and then Colon as the long man out of the pen.

Yeah, he all but officially made the team once Justin Turner got optioned to minor league camp that morning. Emaus looked good. His homer was completely wind-aided, but it's good to see him finally start to swing the bat.

He'll probably get most of the starts. Murphy may start Opening Day against Johnson but that doesn't mean a whole lot. Hope Emaus shows something and can stick around all year.

If by "X" you mean "his laughable contract ought to be X'd out", I'd agree.

After the 2nd Sunday of May last year, Phil Hughes' ERA was a 5, his win total was hugely inflated by league leading run support, and he allowed the most home runs in the league. Burnett's most direct comparable at this point in his career is Pete Harnisch, yet he's getting paid ace money for reasons that no one can truly explain. Ivan Nova had nearly a 4 ERA and a 1.4 WHIP in his minor league career, and Freddy Garcia is now at least 5 seasons away from being anything more than a league average innings eater, plus he's become injury prone. This is, on its best day, the third best rotation in the AL East, and that's solely because of the guy heading it up.

Even with Cabrera going bananas I still feel pretty positive about the Tigers chances this year. I feel like they have a solid team with a lot of young talent. The only downside here is that the AL Central should be as tough as ever with the Twins and White Sox both fielding quality teams this season. I can't wait for the season to start.

Brennan Boesch is 25

Yeah no young talent at all. Do some research next time so you don't look foolish.
Boesch sucks ass (Chris Shelton 2.0), Avila can't hit above .220 to save his life. The Tigers have one of the worst farm systems in the league. They have 1 prospect exactly who I'd be excited about: Jacob Turner. I'm from your area tard and from the columnists that I read in Detroit and radio shows I'm not the only one who thinks that.

But nice try.

How old is Verlander? Feel like he's about 33 at this point.

I'm remaining positive about the Tigers chances this year. Really think they're gonna have success. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Well, they play in a weak division so they should rack up wins against Cleveland and KC. The Twins I think are going to take a step back and the Sox have question marks in their bullpen.

Just be thankful the Tigers don't play in the East like my Jays.

Oh trust me I am very thankful. Toronto has had so much talent come and go since they last made the playoffs. People think the balance in the East is there just because the Rays made the postseason a couple times but that was only after they spent a decade stockpiling draft picks.

Oh well I think the Jays have a legit shot at the wild card this year with the Yanks and Rays both taking big steps back.

The Yankees really haven't taken a huge step back this year though. Boston took a big step forward but the Yankees really didn't get worse than last year. I've seen a lot of people talk about the Yankees rotation problems but I don't know if they remember how bad Burnett and Vazquez were last year.

They lost 130 good innings from Pettitte. Thats the only loss they have from last year. They also lose 150 atrocious innings from Vazquez. Garcia and Nova should be able to surpass or at the very least match what he did last year. I really can't imagine Burnett being as terrible as last year either. If he puts up a league average year he'd be vastly improved. This is all with an improved bench and bullpen.

I'm not trying to argue that the Yanks rotation doesn't have question marks, because it obviously does. Just saying that the Yankees problems and offseason "losses" are a little blown out of proportion.

Yet Zambrano is still there

Zambrano was the best pitcher in baseball from august on last year. Plus his contact is untradeable and unreleaseable.
