Yeah why the hell he went from his birth name (Arnold Dorsey) To Engelbert Humperdinck is beyond me.

Anyway, about this Hamels kid. I 'd like to see him in pinstripes.

You bet, Hamels IMO, has bounced back from strains, was a top prospect before he joined Philly. I remember anxiously awaiting to see Hamels pitch, after reading a ton of great things the news rags, said to expect out of Cole....

and yep, why the hell would anyone change their name from Dorsey, to Humperdinck? What the F was Arnold thinking? (perhaps anything to usurp his rival Tom Jones)......

I meant to say, Yes, I'd love to see Hamels in Yankx Pinstripes......

He'd be an extremely welcome addition to the Southpaw Corps the Yanx are short on, IMO.

tho' I was reading a bit ago, in the L.A. Times, the Bums want Hamels pretty bad, which would allow them to dominate the NL with SP's IMO. I'm stunned the Bums paid McCarthy the big bucks, he proved he was NOT worth with the Bums rivalry with the D'Backs, tho' a change of pace, sight, and I'd of Kept McCarthy in NY, but NOT by giving him the BIG $$$ contract money the Bums may of thrown away......

Can you imagine if the Bums won the Hamels sweepstakes?

Kershaw
Greinke
Ryu
Hamels
McCarthy
 
Same with the Giants, if they win the Hamels sweepstakes:

Especially if Cain comes back healthy. The 3 headed monster of Bumgarner, Cain & Hamels. I could live with that.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Tim Hudson has another good year, a vet with an agendae. Same with both Lincecum and Jake Peavy. Either one of the 3, Cain, Lincecum, Peavy could break out in either direction at any time in the year.

Or as we used to say: "We reserve the right to get smart at any time in the program".....!

B/T both L.A. and S.F., I really don't see the Padres as being serious contenders in the NL West, not this year anyway....all that money for what a distant double digit record of losses, out from the 1st and 2nd place NL West Teams....pretenders to the throne......

the Friars will need more than a Miracle, to say the least. The Pads, will have to first learn how to gel as a Unit/Team, which will take them all of 2015, and Can Kemp stay healthy? Without being in a non-contract year, where he has nothing to lose by sucking wind....!
 
Pitchers & catchers report tomorrow. Its getting close.
 
Please Rob....no anecdotes about the bay city rollers, unless its related to Haight Ashbury. Then by all means roll away.

No problem, Rick already covered them.....

Bay City Rollers, equal: American Version of Abba on Roller Skates, Dancing Queens:



did I say I have always despised Abba, and a ton of others......

BTW-Mozart IS God.....and so is Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Frank Zappa, Stevie Vai, SRV, Page, Jeff Beck, and a heavy ton of others......

Cashman's letting the Sox & other teams make decisions for them? Cause that's essentially what chief-golfs-alot is letting happen
