Ben McDonald
man him and mussina were a good combo to bad he tore his arm up but i degress the good yrs when cheering was more then a 8th inning rally because we were stomping the fools all game
Roch does love agoodstupid, distracting, 5th-grade-level play on words, doesn’t he?
Fixed.

As a Matusz of fact (which he’s used twice)
Family Matusz
Nothing else Matusz
So…I guess Matusz as matters is his go to joke.

Say what you want
but literally every time he uses Matusz as matters I literally fall down laughing. I got a hernia from laughing that much. The man is a comedic GENIUS I tells ya.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.

Two observations that I should have put in the gamethread.
1. Stacey needs to show Pie how to button his jersey. It looked like he missed the second and third button down.
2. Bergesen is THE MAN. I didn’t realize how anxious I had been until I felt such enormous relief yesterday. He was our best starter last year. He looks like he wants to be the best starter this year as well.
I AM A VERY BIG BERGESEN FAN I SAW HIS FIRST AND LAST START LAST YEAR IN ADDITION TO MANY OTHERS.

I lOvE bERgEnSoN TOo!
Seriously, I don’t know if I should be excited or scared at the prospect that he could be our best pitcher this year (though I still think that title goes to Matusz).
Also, I too was at his 1st start EVAR.
I don't know if he's cocky or if he's just confident
But man does he expect a lot out of himself.
He’s basically the first Orioles pitcher that I really like.

I already do
He signed my ball and the picture that got with him at Fanfest is already framed.

Just goes to show you....
You put out like crazy and sign the ball of every guy who smiles at you, you’ll never find true love.
I have to admit I'm getting really excited.

Thanks for linking the highlights Stacey
Bergesen looked great. Aggressive pitching. Wiggington looked solid also. When Roberts comes back, will Wiggington get a chance at any other positions?
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
He can play 1B, 2B, 3B
I think he’ll be the utility guy on the bench for the most part. I suppose it depends on the status of Roberts back but you’d think they’d want to give him ample rest so he doesn’t aggravate it again. That could get Wiggy some more playing time.

Btw
I know we all make fun of wiggles, but I really do like him coming off the bench. Any time you can get a guy with some legit pop and some position versatility (even if he isnt exactly a gold glover) and stash him on the bench for a rainy day it’s a good thing. In a pinch he can cover alot of positions and he doesn’t create a black hole in the lineup. Definitely a step up from the days of having guys like Fahey coming off the bench.
As a bench guy
he’s good. I just don’t want him starting on a regular basis.

I'm pretty happy with the results of my fantasy draft
I love that I got Heyward and Chapman even if that means I’ll have a 2 player handicap for a month or so. Also love my infield, everyone on their’s an All-Star/could be an All-Star.

Camden Crazies visit my brain, suggest Os acquire Chin-lung Hu
Chin-lung Hu might not be as great as I once thought, but he has more potential then Robert Andio and is younger/has more room to grow than Cesar Izturis.
Agreed. He won’t be great, but he could be a slick-fielding, above average shortstop until someone else comes along.
What say ye, masses?
Hu's the shortstop?

yahoo fantasy baseball

Hey guys!
It’s spring break if you haven’t guessed, so you’ve got me for two weeks! How’s everyone?

wooooooo!
2 weeks? I’m so jealous, I get a week. Damn Private Schools with their free-willing spring scheduling.

Well
My school has to factor in passover, seeing as it’s Jewish school. If it weren’t for passover (because of snowmaggedon) we might have a shortened break, but, YAY FOR THE BIBLE AND HOLIDAYS!
We get a lot of days off because of Jewish holidays, it’s nice!

I wish I got off for Passover
Like I already Rosh Hasshanah (sp) and Yom Kippur. But then again, Passover’s a night holiday.

A night holiday?
And, for the record, Rosh Hashana is a transliteration from Hebrew, so there is no proper spelling in English.

Passover's a night holiday
Because the major stuff (e.g: seder) happen after school hours and at nigth, that’s what I mean.

For Jews
the school has to be closed down or the kitchen has to kashered for passover (which is a big ordeal). So, if I went to public school, I would probably have to take another week off. The logistics just don’t work out, what with the cleaning and passover itself.

So
random question. I’ve been pretty busy, so I haven’t really had a chance to see what’s going on during the bird droppings… but what’s going on with the shirts?

there were some issues with the test shirts
i’m fixin’ ’em as fast as I can. now hoping to go live sometime tomorrow, probably later in the day.
