DC Landing Strip: Is It Hot In Here, Or Is It Baseball Jesus?
There's a new member of the blogOsphere, DC Landing Strip. Check them out when you get a chance. I'd seen their link before but was a bit hesitant to click through at work just in case (because you know, that title could go a couple ways). They also write about the Redskins, but that's ok. After all, we all worship the same Wieters. -Stacey

Roar from 34: The Eutaw Street Chronicles: Mo Vaughn - July 7, 1996
Another entry in the Eutaw Street Chronicles, which is one of my favorite things (in case you didn't see when I said that the 500 other times). -Stacey
Q&A with Dave Johnson on the 1989 Orioles -- baltimoresun.com
"I run into people all the time, being from here, and they like to talk about the "Why Not?" team rather than the 1996 and '97 teams, even though they went to the playoffs. Players overachieved and there were a lot of guys no one ever heard of and never heard of after that. It's definitely a year fans cherish." That, and we like to think no one did 'roids on the '89 team. We're probably wrong, but it's nice to think that way. -duck
Orioles' Roberts joins elite group | MLB.com: News
"With a free pass to lead off the sixth inning against David Huff, Roberts became just the fifth player since 1900 to register three straight seasons with 25 stolen bases, 50 doubles, 70 walks and 100 runs scored." These are the things you cling to as an Orioles fan. -duck
Catcher Sal Fasano plays for son who has heart condition - SI.com
One day. That's all Sal Fasano needed in the bigs this year to help his littlest boy. And he didn't get it. I'm telling ya, have some Kleenex nearby when you read this one. -duck
I'm happy that Waffle House was okay with me coming here to talk to y'all about my day-to-day. And, y'all, that's pretty much, in a shell what it's like to manage a Waffle House. Ma'am, I don't know what else you want me to say to them. And I'm also gonna need to know where your Open Thread's at.

I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger.

Hating the New York Yankees is as American as apple pie, unwed mothers and cheating on your income tax ~ Mike Royko
thats your talladega nights lead in?
Personally I woulda went somewhere along the lines of:
“I like to picture Open Thread in a Tuxedo T-shirt because it says, like, ‘I wanna be formal, but I’m here to party too.’ ’Cause I like to party, so I like my Open Thread to party.”
or
I like to picture Open Thread as a figure skater. He wears like a white outfit, and He does interpretive ice dances of my life’s journey.

Boy is that Sal Fasano article depressing
I guess health insurance woes affect all Americans, even former MLB journeymen…
But really, if I had been his manager, I would have finagled things to allow Sal to play in just one freaking game… or at least I’d like to think I would have. But I never have been nor will I ever be a major league manager, so what do I know.
doesn't even have to play in a game
Just put him on the active roster for one freaking day. They coudl STILL do that.
That was my thought
Just put him on the 40 man and let him sit the bench for one game this week. Who does it hurt?
Jim Palmer: "I said to Nolan, 'Why do you run every ball out like that?' and he said, 'Why wouldn’t you?' "
But someone has to be moved off the 40 man
Any team have less than 40 on their 40 man rifght now? And this article is a week old – if something was gonna happen, it would have happened by now.
Jim Palmer: "I said to Nolan, 'Why do you run every ball out like that?' and he said, 'Why wouldn’t you?' "
Once a guy is on the 40 man he's on there to stay
unless you outright him off the roster, and then he has to clear waivers or be granted his release. any candidates for release? Seems kind of cruel to release one guy to give another guy his day in the majors.
But yeah, sad sad story.

thats why he'd probably give a flying shit if he got released
in other news, i, personally, would not give a flying shit. he can take rich hill and melvin mora with him. FREE BOAT RIDE FOR THREE!!!!

It would have been cool for the Rockies to maybe let Sal leave to go to a place where he might have a shot. You know, like a team that’s on the cusp of 100 losses.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
Friend to Labor Peter Angelos
would probably allow that to happen, too.
Jim Palmer: "I said to Nolan, 'Why do you run every ball out like that?' and he said, 'Why wouldn’t you?' "
At this point Sal's a replacement-level (or worse) player
GMs will generally give up minor league veterans parked at triple-A for nominal cash considerations if it will let them play in the majors. I think if somebody wanted him, O’Dowd would’ve made him available.
Oh no!
Pie is getting shut down. Seems they don’t want to take any chances with him, which absolutely makes sense, but still… sad.
sigh
