Well, that got Mike to thinking. And drawing. And... well, see for yourself:

OK, that was funny...
But please excuse my lack of knowledge—who is questionable player #1, and why the “name starting with K” thing?
I know, I know, it’s not funny if you have to explain it. But I still want to know. Great cartoon, Mike!
Roger "Roid Rocket" Clemens
Great cartoon as always. Poor Ronny….
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. ~Voltaire
The "name starting with K" thing...
... all of Clemens’ kids have names that begin with “K”.

Goofy
That’s just plain goofy.
What about the family with something like 200 children who’s names all start with J. They are getting pretty desperate for new names.

Great cartoon!
I’d still love to see Barroid step out from behind a curtain and get a chance to compete against the apparent winner of the Home Run Derby tonight. Maybe the MLB could promise him that, if he wins, he’s guaranteed a pinch hitter/DH spot in the postseason.
Nanika Ga Okoru!
No, it would not.
It would be a horrendous fit. Vizquel cannot hit any more. Period. Why would you want a 41-year-old guy who hung around this year for the sole purpose of breaking Luis Aparicio’s record for games played at SS?
Let’s put this one to rest forever. DO. NOT. WANT.

Fine.
He can be used to drag the infield.

I hadn't heard it
I hadn’t heard it anywhere but the guy who mentioned this to me has told me some things in the past that had legs including some stuff that was off the wall.

Thank you...
This Omar Vizquel love-fest that’s going on here has run its course…He’s had a great career, and will probably make it to Cooperstown (he’s got better numbers than Ozzie Smith, who probably shouldn’t be there anyway, but that’s a whole ‘nother story), but, as Al would say, he is DONE.
Although, he sort of fills Lou’s pathological desire for a leftie…

He’s so done, he’s a Krispy Kritter.

You live next to Ivy Walls?
Omar is running on empty and has been for awhile. There are a ton of cheap kids out there who can hit 150 and play shortstop as good as Omar and would cost next to nothing. Why would you waste a roster spot on a used up hulk of what was a decent player?
Baseball is too much of a sport to be a business and too much of a business to be a sport.

OT
I saw a nice T Shirt at the game saturday….vintage looking, throwback t shirt with worn patches to look old. Like it and cannot find it anywhere. Someone said Von Maur which bothered me a bit but can’t find it their either.
Anyone?
Calm down.
OT - Hot dog cost?
How much is an official Wrigley Field hot dog?
Thanks in advance!

Why don't you wake up Drew!
It’s the 21st century! Why would we have our pitchers hit or run the bases??
Calm down.

Sheets is fine with me. SAVE ZAMBRANO!
