He got 2 hits off me in AAA in The Show.
Great run down by the Mets. They can't get the guy out, so just step on him instead.
Oh, and Rangers manager Ron Washington tested positive for cocaine.

That's interesting considering Josh Hamilton is on his team. You'd think you could learn from that guys mistakes.

Can you say "team-building activity"?

Why don't we just have a major league and a premier league with relegation between the two?

I don't know exactly how this works, but it seems like you completely kill any shot of a team doing like Tampa did a couple years ago, coming out of no where to go to the World Series. I think that would be a bad thing.

And I'm not so sure Florida would like having to spend like a Premier side. They'd be better off in League II.

Because he's only been in the majors for a relatively short time. He was stuck behind Jim Thome a long time, before the Phils realized it was time to bite the bullet and get Howard into the lineup.
Howard is older than Pujols? Why was I thinking that he was young, like 25 years old?

Again, it's not just being stuck behind Thome. For the most part the thing was him playing college ball and not even starting minor league baseball until he was 21.
That's where it all starts re: the belief that Pujols seems older.

Well, they probably wouldn't come out of nowhere. The promotion/relegation system speaks to the origins of the leagues more than anything else. You also wouldn't see clubs settle for the basement for a reset as well.
The thing about promotion/relegation is it as much a financial system (selling and purchasing of players) as it is a team caliber regulator.
