Tuesday Roundup
A fairly quiet week so far…but a few things have cropped up that might generate some interest…
*** Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin: Mark Prior’s shoulder is hurting. Cubs trainer Mark O’Neal said, “He had some posterior cuff irritation that obviously we need to get evaluated.”
Obviously.
GM Jim Hendry hoped that this is “just a little snag.” There’s no way to know for sure, until Prior consults with his good friend Dr. Yocum in LA. Until then, I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. And hope that Prior’s irritation doesn’t irritate my posterior…
*** Is there anything that Red Light Curt won’t talk about? Why he feels compelled to defend his beaning of Pirate outfielder Chris Duffy is beyond me. Most amusing is his assertion that Duffy has “got be able to get out of the way of that pitch.”
Perhaps Duffy didn’t properly announce his presence at home plate. Like another guy who got nailed accidentally…
*** Happy days for Washington, I guess. MLB settled its lawsuit over the rights to the name “Washington Nationals,” and unveiled the plans for their new yard.
I haven’t seen drawings of the new ballpark, but the players seem impressed by the $611 million stadium. MLB is saying the park will be ready for the 2008 season.
And now that the lease is signed, the plans are ready, and the contractors are sending in their bids, it’s time for Baron Budhausen to look for a real owner and end the shameful conflict of interest that MLB has been engaged in for the last few years.
Oh, and that new owner? According to Baseless Bob DuPuy:
Just so we’re all on the same page, I guess…

The new owner will be involved at every stage [of the stadium construction]. Of course, if changes are made at the new owner’s request and they add to the costs, it would be the new owner’s responsibility.
Just so we’re all on the same page, I guess…
