I'll revise my previous statement about Velez.
I forgot something very important. You can’t designate someone to the minors when the minors are over. So just plain out release him.

That means..
I know what my dad listened to today. First off The Cap’n Jack Show (if it’s still on there) and second on the CD I made for him that continuously loops the Pirates song from Pirates of the Caribbean (the ride, not the movie, yes kids there is a ride) for a full hour.

At least with Zito’s creampuff pitches he doesn’t have to worry about getting hurt, I think he can pitch till he’s 42. Jeff Fassero did after all.
Due to be humiliated again.

Was Sandoval even alive
during Maddux’s rookie year?
Gillaspie definitely wasn’t. We should field a lineup of all post-Maddux-rookie-year births and see if that breaks the spell.
Mark Wasinger: Now with MORE Wasing!
Sandoval..
He was born 25 days before the debut of Maddux. August 6 to September 3, 1986.

I was once at a game that didn’t end until 1:30 AM. Even better, I lived in the East Bay and missed the night’s last BART train. Heckuva night.
Bonus: the Giants lost.

Lincecum’s MLB debut would say otherwise.
I was at the infamous “Victorino is a douche” game and if I remember correctly…(ahem)…The basepath is defined by the baserunner at all bases other than 1st. In this particular case, because Kung Fu Panda was rounding 3rd, his defined basepath was a straight line from about halfway home until he touched the plate. Look at a replay from the camera angle in which you’re looking over the shoulder of the catcher…he’s running in a straight line for home, and while he’s on the grass, because he made the wide turn, I still think that by the rulebook, he was well within his established basepath.
