Look at how pitchers have done over the last few years as an indication of how they'll perform going forward. Revolutionary!

Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

It's a smug style fake 'em out while he goes for Yu Darvish's Cuban cousin.
Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can

He won't say his name, but he was drafted in the 4th round in 2008... so it's Trevor May.

A few years ago I remember seeing a picture someone had posted of batting practice at the Vet ('81 or '82?), with Ryne Sandberg, Julio Franco and others standing around the cage. Was that here on BSG or PhilliesPhans? I REALLY want to find that picture - any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found this linked over on PhilliesPhans. Is this what you're looking for?
