time to feel old

look who's in this June's baseball draft 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Goddamn.

I remember seeing the players family photos in the yearbooks when I was a kid. That makes me feel old indeed.

[Geowhizzer]

What, just because he was born after I graduated from high school?

My back hurts...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Not only that, but Lenny's become some sort of financial wizard or some shtein.

hank steinbrenner calls out girardi....


"I want him as a starter and so does everyone else, including him, and that is what we are working toward and we need him there now," Steinbrenner told the New York Times. "There is no question about it, you don't have a guy with a 100-mile-per-hour fastball and keep him as a setup guy. You just don't do that. You have to be an idiot to do that."

He's garbage and always has been. Talking to people down here says he big times everyone and no one likes him much. Houston radio has been ripping him for months now.

Julio Franco retires.

The 5-for-1 saga of Von Hayes is finally over.

From baseball-reference.com:

December 9, 1982: (Von Hayes) Traded by the Cleveland Indians to the Philadelphia Phillies for Manny Trillo, George Vukovich, Jay Baller, Julio Franco, and Jerry Willard.

Over 25 years ago?  Man, I'm getting old.

Jason Michaels is being cut.

[PhillyGirl]

Gavin Floyd pitched a no-hitter into the 8th inning...struck out one and then gave up a single to Renteria.

He's pitching another no no through 7 innings right now.
