Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

Finally, A Face Off With An Acceptable Ending

The Manny Ramirez deal is sooooo close...but not quite finished yet.  Manny is currently en route to Los Angeles, and will have a face-to-face meeting with the Dodgers before the deal is finalized.  Per Tony Jackson:

Manny IS willing to accept some form of what the Dodgers offered him last Wednesday, a two-year, $45 million deal with $25 million the first year, $20 million the second year and an opt-out. That offer IS back on the table, even though it has been taken off the table last week. But there is no actual agreement in place YET, because Dodgers officials want to meet with Manny face to face, presumably tomorrow morning, before making this thing happen.

I'm glad the two sides were able to put aside their differences and come to a deal.  Stay tuned for more details once the deal becomes official.

Ok thanks.

I’ve been wondering how you make the blockquotes too. :-)

I loved FaceOff

until the ending. Maybe the last Cage movie I liked.

Gone in 60 Seconds?

I liked that one. What about National Treasure?

Cage

hasn’t been the same since his epic stint as “Tiny Elvis” on SNL. :)

We don't have many commentators

but I sure like the ones we have. Try doing that stuff on DT:)

True Blue Stories 1980-1985

Not to go all Keith Olbermann, but I’m watching the True Blue Stories 1980-1985 following the Finley GS Game, and there were two glaring errors:

In talking about beating the Giants during a winning streak in 1983, the highlight of Tim Leary’s pinch-hit GW RBI (driving in Franklin Stubbs) from 1988 was shown.

Going to break, we heard “up next: 1985” with highlights showing from Orel’s 6th straight shutout giving him 59 scoreless innings in 1988.

DFA candidates for Manny...

Ardoin—makes the most sense; redundant w/Ausmus
Stults—management seems to hate him
Orenduff—middle reliever at best with fringy stuff
Repko—needs a change of scenery; will never play in L.A.

That’s all I’ve got for now.

Agree about Ardoin

My dark horse is Jesus Castillo to the 60-day DL. Total speculation by me.
