PrintHAPPY AUGUST FOURTEENTH!!!!!!
Today is the 226th day of the year. Happy birthday to...
Cupid Childs, Paul "Daffy" Dean, some guy named Steve Martin, hot stuff Halle Berry, baseball player Juan Pierre, soccer player Jared Borgetti, and this other dude named Magic Johnson.
In the United States, today is National Creamsicle Day. Forget the diet. Have a Creamsicle :)
Rizzuto, known as "The Scooter," was the oldest living Hall of Famer. He played for the Yankees throughout the 1940s and '50s, won seven World Series titles and played in five All-Star games.
"Phil was a gem, one of the greatest people I ever knew. A dear friend and great teammate," said Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, who frequently visited Rizzuto in his later years.
"He was a heck of a player, too. When I first came up to the Yankees, he was like a big actually, small brother to me. He's meant an awful lot to baseball and the Yankees and has left us with a lot of wonderful memories," he said.
At 5-foot-6, Rizzuto was a flashy player who could always be counted on for a perfect bunt, a nice slide or a diving catch in a lineup better known for its cornerstone sluggers. He played 13 seasons alongside the likes of Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle in a career interrupted by Navy service in World War II.
Man gets mad at ex, castrates cat
EUGENE, Ore. - A man who was frustrated with his ex-girlfriend took his anger out on her cat by castrating it with a box cutter, Eugene police said. erry Caswell, 31, was arrested and charged with multiple counts stemming from the incident.
Caswell was angry at his ex-girlfriend for not coming to his house Friday night. So Caswell drugged her cat "Romeo" with human medication and then castrated it with a box cutter.
Man Tries to Take Crocs, Snakes on Plane
CAIRO, Egypt - It was very nearly a real-life version of "Snakes on a Plane." A man was stopped at Cairo's airport just moments before he boarded a Saudi Arabia-bound plane with carry-on bags filled with live snakes, as well as a few baby crocodiles and chameleons.
Security officials became suspicious of the 22-year-old Saudi man's bags when the X-ray machine at the departure gate gave odd readings. Police said they opened the bags and found a large number of reptiles, including at least one cobra, squirming to escape.

Meyer wants to prove the wait was worth it
Regarding the Tim Hudson trade, Dan Meyer has something to say.
"I'm still left," he said.
Who can blame Meyer for feeling a little pride for being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday? Not only did he outlast Juan Cruz and Charles Thomas - the other players acquired in the December 2004 trade that sent Hudson to Atlanta - but he overcame shoulder surgery, rehabbed the entire offseason and posted the third-lowest ERA in the Pacific Coast League.
I don't know about you, but the italics bug the crap outta me.
Anyway, dump. :)

remember when MaEl set the franchise record
for consesecutive errorless games? Well, last night, Babe F______ Ruth one-upped him.
Before the game, Oakland second baseman Mark Ellis said that Polanco was one of his favorite players to watch.
To be fair, I was listening to the Tiger's radio team last night, and they were were sure talking Ellie up. In their opinion, the two candidates for 2nd Base GG were both playing.
Well...
Mark wouldn't say "I'm my favorite player to watch."
I think he meant Polanco is one of his favorites after Grudzielanek and O. Hudson... :P
and Ellis tied another franchise record!
Mark Ellis, moved from No. 6 to No. 2 in the lineup, hit a two-run homer in the first inning - his 16th of the season - to tie Davey Lopes (1983) and Jimmy Dykes (1921) for most homers by an A's second baseman.
Just another day at the ballpark.

Tigers ink Porcello
Signing the high school pitcher-- that's right, as in "18 years old, hasn't gone to college" pitcher-- to a 4-year, $7.28 million contract.
I'm not especially interested in the strategy here-- the contract could be a disaster if he gets hurt, or it could be a smashing success. What I find deeply disturbing about this is that it represents the clearest evidence yet of the complete and utter bankruptcy of the slotting system.
Given Selig's known propensity for lying and misrepresentation, I really question whether the "system" even exists in the context of anything other than a public relations gimmick. The degree to which it is routinely violated by certain teams-- and the utter lack of sanctions placed upon those teams-- indicates that the rules are meant to be broken.
Beane had better put together some pretty good teams in the next 5 years or so. Within 10-15 years the amateur draft will have effectively ceased to exist in baseball, and with it the last possible hope for small-market teams to succeed consistently.
I wouldn't worry about 10 years out
or even 5 years since, based on my stock portfolio, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE.
umm...
5 years, 129 days...
After that, we'll be evolved, or de-evolved...

MLB needs to include a clause in the future
"collective bargaining agreement" that will include a salary cap similar to the one that exists today for team salaries. Let the rich teams pay for the lesser teams draft picks once their total spending reaches above a certain level.
These teams would end up "paying" in more ways than one because how many guys are going to reach the major league level anyway?

by The Pilots Dared Me To Die on Aug 14, 2007 4:05 PM PDT up reply actions
foreign devil helper?
You mean this guy?
Even once drafted, even high-level prospects
have a ridiculously high probability of flameout. So if that happens, this contract sucks. If he gets hurt, this contract sucks. If he's not ready in four years, either due to injury or ineffectiveness, this contract sucks. If he's good, the team can't hide him in the minors to sneak an extra year of service time out of him - and that sucks (but only a little compared to the above points).
A big reason why young pitchers are so good is not only that they are under team control, but they are also cost-controlled. A major league contract destroys that. Monetized across only pre-arb or pre-FA players, he is unlikely to be a bargain unless he's one of the top pre-arb, pre-FA players. And the attrition rate for HS pitchers is high.
Now, given all that, the contract isn't that bad, considering that the Tigers have the money to spend and it's in their best interests to keep draft bonuses high to price out teams like the A's from even the amateur draft. Furthermore, if he lives up to his promise, then his value monetized across all players (not just pre-arb or pre-FA players) will be quite good. In the "it's not the bang for your buck but the bang period" school of thought, it's fine.
Question ...
Does anyone know, if Porcello, say comes up after 2 years in the minors, plays his rookie and sophomore seasons under this contract, will his third year be at the league minimum or will it go to arbitration?
Assuming he signs a major league deal,
His arby clock starts as soon as he hits the minors, I believe. I could be mistaken.
by Roscoe Parrish on Aug 14, 2007 12:46 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm not sure.
But I think - think - that the club can just "offer" him a contract like they can any other third-year player (assuming he's not a super-two). BUT, I believe that the team cannot cut his pay by more than 20%.
Beckett seems to have more or less
followed the path I suggested.
His original contract (4 years, $7m) covered the first 2+ (though not enough to qualify for Super 2) of his MLB career.
For his third full year, 2004, his contract was renewed at $1.509m, 86% of $7m/4.
If he turns into Verlander, it will MERELY be OK?
What do you base this on?
I can't speak for him, but...
..likely the fact that $7m a year is a lot of money, even for a Verlander.
It's not 7 a year
It's 7 for 4 years. It's like 1.8 a year.

Joe K thinks the A's are cheap, too.
Left-hander Joe Kennedy has given up only an unearned run in two relief appearances, his role here.
"My preference is definitely starting. They know that, but I’m not going to come in and cause any ripples," he said. "I like to call myself a utility pitcher."
Kennedy was 3-9 with a 4.37 ERA with Oakland before being claimed off waivers last week, making 16 starts before being taken out of the A’s rotation as he neared performance bonuses.
Kennedy will get $100,000 if he makes 20 starts and another $100,000 if he makes 25 starts. He gets a $50,000 bump for 27 starts and another $50,000 for 30.
Asked if he thought the A’s decision to remove him from the rotation had something to do with that, he simply said, "Do the math."
I will do the math Joe....

You guys have been shakin' a lot lately.
Why has it been so quiet over on this side? Hmm.
Loaiza says he's ready to go
He appears to have fulfilled the two conditions that Geren publicly named for activating him, namely pitch count and velocity.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...
Loaiza says he's ready: After throwing 97 pitches Saturday and hitting 92-93 mph on the radar gun, Esteban Loaiza believes he's OK to make his first start of the season for Oakland. The decision has not been made yet, however; Loaiza threw a side session Tuesday and manager Bob Geren wants to make sure he comes out of that feeling good. If Loaiza doesn't go, lefty Dan Meyer would get the slot against Kansas City on Friday.
It will be interesting to see whether he starts Friday's game or not...
Meyer
I think they might keep him in AAA for another start just to see what Meyer can do before they send him to the pen.
No offense to Esteban, but at this point in the year the A's need to see what they have to build around/trade for next year; if that means Loaiza has to spend an extra start in AAA that he feels he doesn't need then he should suck it up and take one for the team.
