The Pacers played the first half of the season just like the Spurs, but became selfish. Pop is the difference.

He is bad as a SS as his fielding % is .967, but it's worse as a 3B - .958! And then you have the attitude thing, so there is that...<br /> <br /> He has to go! Can't be fixed!

ELLIS FROM DL, OPTION TIM FEDEROWICZ<br /> <br /> LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers today reinstated catcher A.J. Ellis (right ankle sprain) from the 15-day disabled list and optioned catcher Tim Federowicz to Triple-A Albuquerque.<br /> <br /> Ellis has been limited to just 15 games this year due to left knee surgery and the right ankle sprain, batting .170 with two doubles and an RBI. He last appeared in a game on May 24 at Philadelphia.

If they don\\\'t, they have quit and if you refuse to quit, you can say your not a quitter, but you might be a loser.<br /> <br /> I still say that this them, as it is currently constructed, will not win. Changes will have to be made. The injuries to older players is part of the equation that needs changed.<br /> <br /> This team can win with defense and pitching and a good clubhouse - the defense is deplorable in two key defensive positions: SS and CF! Changes HAVE to be made in order to win.

My wife and I had one done about a year ago. It tells if you have any plaque or blockages. A local hospital had a special of 2 for $98.00. The results go from 0 (great) to 400 (you are dead). The doctor came out smiling and said "congratulation, go eat a filet with bacon - you are both big ZEROS!"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Our accountant lost her 44 year-old brother to a heart attack last week. It didn't have to happen. Get CAT SCANS guys!

I have no quarrel with those signings. They took on huge costs with the RedSox trade, and it was unnecessary. There were lots of players who were cheaper and outperformed the Boston trio. It was stupid move! Tell me A-Gon is worth $90 million more than Mike Napoli. We could have had 2 or 3 excellent players for we have tied up in Crawford. The same is true with Beckett and Ethier. The moves were just awful - there's no other way to spin it. They overpaid when they did not have too, because they are rich and stupid! I am happy with the fact they are building the farm, but the players they bought are boat anchors.

By paying double what everyone else did, the Dodgers don\\\'t have enough money to fill other needs. That\\\'s the point. Also, when you overpay, you create a sense of entitlement in the players, creating underachieving assets. It\\\'s not a good thing. It\\\'s a bad thing and we will find out soon enough.<br /> <br /> I\\\'m not panicked. I\\\'m disgusted and have been since the inception. The Dodgers won\\\'t win as they are built. Watch and learn.
