Well, Nomah has to prove he's 100% ready for the season, so I'll give him a pass. The only thing I would ask is if he actually said he would play for Mexico or if he was just invited.
I know this is last minute, but sometimes people give up their seats right before a game. So sometimes, if you look for tickets to games the very next day or later in the week, you can get something good. It worked for a friend and I last year.
Yeah, if I ever get down there, I'll have to try to see a game. I mean if they're playing the Sox, it's not like it'll really be an away game, right? SAFECO field, that's another place I'd like to visit.
With Prior's and Wood's injury history, I just don't see all the cards falling for the Cubs, at least not this year. Zambrano is their only reliable pitcher. Pierre and Jones are alright, but not spectacular. They don't have enough to beat the Cards or the 'Stros. Bet if they got rid of Dusty they could turn things around.
Does anybody think the Rockies will surprise anybody this year? I've usually considered them a double-A team with Todd Helton, but cbssportsline.com is actually giving them some hope.
This is usually the boring part of the year for me because all that's on is the friggin' Celtics and the Bruins. But with the Olympics and the WBC, it might actually stay interesting.
Either way, Molina will be happy. All of these other great players were getting signed, and he was stuck at home wondering if he'd have a job next year.
With all these turned down trade offers, we're probably just better off waiting until the trading deadline or next offseason to try to unload Manny again.
