LOL, looks like a police line-up background.

This coversation will take place on April 4th. 

Houston: "#1, #4 and #5"

Cops:  "Are you sure?"

Houston:  "Yes.  Definitely.  Those are the guys that raped me."



Also, the Phils will face Myers and Happ during this opening series.  When (if ever) is the last time the Phils faced 2 former Phillies starters during the same series?  Ed....do work.

Why hasn't Sunny started the season thread?

Get on it!

wolf and padilla while with the dodgers

Padilla wasn't picked up by the Doyers until late in the season in 2009 and by that point, they had already played their 2 reg season series against each other.  They did face them in the post season, but I was only talking regular season. 

Farging Padilla.....I was at that NLCS game when he and Pedro faced off and both pitched their asses off.  Farging Grit throwing errors did them in.

Per Ruben Amaro, the Phillies have released Luis Castillo.

Good.

And I read Happ got hurt - oblique issue

[ice grillin you]

they must really like martinez because they would have had to possibly give him back if they kept castillo

[Don Ho]

Wow. So does this mean Delwyn Young stays?

from today's paper:

Martinez impresses

Manuel had high praise for infielder Michael Martinez, who is working to earn one of the final two roster spots. Manuel thinks the 28-year-old Martinez, a career minor-leaguer, could be a late bloomer.

"He's impressed me. He makes some plays defensively that are top-notch," Manuel said. "He's got talent and he's got energy. He can hit .250 or .260. Omar Vizquel, later on in his career - when he got around 28, 30 years old - is when he developed his hitting. This kid has got some tools."

The 5-foot-9, 145-pound Martinez is a career .263 hitter in the minors. He has impressed Manuel with his defense in both the infield and outfield.

[Munson]

5'9, 145 pounds? Jesus christ. How can he even hit the ball out of the infield?
