I'm awful, just awful. I give up to avaio one Michael James Jacobs, who couldn't hit to save his life with men in scoring position, and he has a career night with six rbi. I officially take under my wing one Hanley Ramirez, and he strains his shoulder while striking out. lovingthecubs, you may be amused to know that Andino (the young wannabe member of the CC Hat Brigade) was called up. angisageek, you didn't end up adopting him, so you may not care, but Eric Reed was sent down. I'm sure that was in no way a consequence of you tossing him by the wayside for the dumbass who set himself on fire :P
So I decided I was pretty over getting spammed by images of teams and players I'm not all that concerned about, so I'm personally dumping mlbphotos_yahoo, and I set up new team-specific feeds, because, yes, if there's anything LJ needs, it's me creating more baseball related syndicated feeds >.> If you're interested:
espn_flaphotos
espn_oakphotos
espn_houphotos
They're just team-specific AP photo feeds through ESPN. The big reason I originally set up the Yahoo feed was because they occasionally carry Getty images, but I figure I can just check in every now and again. Also, it may just be my eyes, but it seems to me that the ESPN pics are slightly better resolution than the Yahoo images, so there you go.
Gary Matthews, Jr. was on MLB Midday ^_^ Yay. I liked Gary.
rickenbacker, it looks like NY is off; we're gonna do the Marlins DH in Philly instead. Which means KC is almost definitely, certainly, on. I'll try and get an answer out of ResLife tomorrow, on when I could start moving into my dorm room; if it's early enough for me to unpack before the weekend, hopefully I can buy my tickets and we can talk about hotel arrangements and the like. **crosses fingers**
eta: Also, my dad's SI arrived today, and Pujols is on the cover for like the 817th time this spring, don't ask me how he managed that. But INSIDE there is a profile of Josh Willingham (married, incidentally, to a woman named Ginger. Sorry, Bri) and Huston Street rates the Street Bobblehead a 3.5 on a scale of 1 to 4. There's also a completely unnecessary two page close up of Hideki Matsui fracturing his wrist :/
