[USML Announce] Rips Set Their Sale For Closer Job

Mon Mar 7 14:14:50 EST 2011

Greetings; 

???? It's really too bad this didn't come up a few days ago.? As part of my mysterious job with the USDA, I was at 

the Shedd Aquarium Thursday for a compliance inspection of their Amazon Basin exhibit.? If only I'd known, I could have slipped a couple of their lovely specimens (e.g. the Blaberus giganteus - Giant Cockroach, or the tastier Scolependra gigantean - Peruvian Giant Centipede) into my bag for Sunday morn. 

???? In the?Potpourri category, did anyone else notice that the Royals were almost shut out.? If not for John F. and myself, the USML would have turned our collective backs on poor KC.? And there seem to be an inordinate amount of FAs under contract this year .? Everyone excepting Mssrs. Winick and Jansen have multiple FAs.? These two gents?have zero.? And Andy and I are the only two fellows ready to take full advantage of this year's deep draft who chose not to clutter up our rosters with those annoying minor leaguers.??That's my story and I'm sticking?to it. ?? ?See you at 8:00 sharp on Sunday! 

??? Rick

The bugs aren't really out in force until the weather gets warmer.? Are you willing to defer the payoff until June, when the big, juicy ones are available?

Brad Lee, ? I saw it.? I also saw that Ozzie said that "ideally" Thornton will be his closer.? In the immortal words of Rick Gammons (who, I will point out, did not fulfill his promise) "I will eat a bug" if Thornton doesn't start the season as the White Sox closer. ? That is all. ? The King ?

Thornton deal doesn't end battle at closer March, 6, 2011 Mar 61:52PM CTEmail Print Comments By Doug PadillaGLENDALE, Ariz. -- Just because Matt Thornton signed a two-year, $12 million extension on Sunday that could grow to $18 million if the White Sox activate his option year, it doesn't mean the closer battle has been decided. ? Thornton is the favorite to eventually land the role full time, but guys like Chris Sale, Sergio Santos and Jesse Crain remain in the mix. ? [+] EnlargeAP Photo/Morry Gash Matt Thornton and the White Sox agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract extension on Sunday."No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," pitching coach Don Cooper said when asked if a decision at closer had been made. "We're still trying to work on what we need to get right with each guy. I don't believe that's going to be talked about at least until our next meeting and I don't even know when that's scheduled. ? ? ? ? BLJ sez: Jeffrey, if Matt were gonna be annointed closer, they'd have said so.? You still have a day to dump him--you can thank me for the good advice..... _______________________________________________ announce mailing list announce at usml.net http://lists.usml.net/mailman/listinfo/announce _______________________________________________ announce mailing list announce at usml.net http://lists.usml.net/mailman/listinfo/announce
