Best thing about that is that all 5-6 teammates went straight at Fielder because they knew Parra wasn't gonna do shtein but sit his ass right there on that bench.

Angriest 280-lb vegetarian ever.  He needs a steak and a hug from Cecil

Prince Fielder got all up in Manny Parra's ass tonight....

Parra looked like a deer in the headlights

Which was probably the smartest, if less manly, course of action.  Cecil, Jr. would have eaten him for dinner.

i went to the tennessee smokies - carolina mudcats game tonight.  AA cubs vs. marlins.  got drunk with some dude who's grandfather was first cousins with joe dimaggio.

cameron maybin, dude who was involved in the dontrelle willis and miguel cabrera trade, crushed one out of the park right as i was walking in.

Just came to me - I haven't been to a minor league game all season.  Usually I go to at least 10 a year.

That's what having a second child will do to you!

Will go next Monday, though.  Bobblection - I can get an Obama and a McCain bobblehead.  Perfect for my classroom.

I thought the Mudcats were only single A.  I usually don't consider going to their games, because the Bulls (AAA for the Rays) are also in the area.

I drafted Maybin with my last pick in fantasy before the season started. I figured the Marlins would suck and he'd get to their team quickly. So much for that.

The AAA team is an affiliate of the Twins so there have basically been only 2 good prospects through the system in the past decade, Morneau and Liriano. Liriano was awesome to watch here.

Brian Giles had a chance to go from the suck-ass Padres to the Red Sox but he blocked the trade (no-trade clause).  He said he wanted to stay near his kids, plus the Red Sox already have at least 3 OFs under contract for 2009 so he wouldn't be playing much anyway...

[SunMo]

the phillies were stupid not to put a claim in on him...he plays right, he can hit lefties and righties, and he makes contact...

[BigEd76]

...and the Phils weren't on his no-trade list

[MDS]

why would they want to make the team better?

Giles = Jenkins.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Giles = Jenkins.

So, two of them would be double trouble!
