- Who can imagine Russell Martin in anything
thebut Dodger Blue? Still, bringing him back would be a major risk. Dodgers face deadline decision on Martin (Ken Gurnick, Dodgers.com) - Settlement? Jamie McCourt don't need no stinkin' settlement. Jamie McCourt rejects divorce settlement proposal (Bill Shaikin & Carla Hall, LA Times)

"Who can imagine Russell Martin in anything the Dodger Blue? "
Uh, I can - vividly.
Those cats are playing patty cake.
FIXED
Fuck FIFA. Qatar?
Stupid fucking country can't even buy a vowel.
I, for one, will not be going to the 2022 WC. . .unless I can get tickets.
Looking at the voting, seems the Southern Hemisphere formed some kind of bloc. If Japan and S. Korea (our friends?) had pledged their votes to the US, we might have stood a chance.
Let's see who needs help when N. Korea goes all nucular (props to W) on their asses.
FIFA corruption is now obvious!
Orel, are you referring to the 2022 WC or the cats playing patty cake?
Yes, another thread hijacked by football talk. FIFA is corrupt as all get, I have no problem with Russia but Qatar???? Enjoy those 125 degree temps!!!! But wait they are going to have super AC'd stadiums with technology that doersn't even exist yet. Brilliant Sepp just brilliant!
Why did they pick Qatar?
They should re-name this blog:
Sons of Franck Ribery
"Who can imagine Russell Martin in anything but the Dodger Blue?"
not me
(cries)
@Mr F "Why did they pick Qatar?"
"money money money must be funny in a rich man's world money money money always sunny in a rich man's world"
@rbnlaw
I guess South Korea and Japan had energetic reasons: from all the countries selected, one has plenty of gas and the other has plenty of oil. If you are a country, you like to have friends with those perks.
I liked USA and Australia for 2022 :(
nice links Orel or should I say Sax? ;)
They were good enough for my last preparation for the TOEFL. I'm taking it tomorrow. Nerves? +100000
Speaking about irrelevant Giants, Aguilas has a guy who was in 7 games with the Gnats this year...yesterday,in a doubleheader he went 0-7, 3 Ks in important at-bats.
I have a moral dilemma here: to boo or not to boo.
@karina
7 games only? I say you can still boo him because he sucks, but that's not enough time for the stench of Jintdom to rub off, I think.
In other news, GOOD LUCK KARINA!
Remember, the plural of lotnof is lotnoves, not lotnofs.
Sons of Ribery? I'd prefer Sons of Freddie Ljungberg m'self.
@karina:
Funny. The Irishman I work with was upset about England not getting the bid, because it would make his travel easier. As for Qatar, he said it all; "Someone's getting oil cheap."
Break a leg, Karina!
@karina:
When in doubt, answer C.
The TOEFL can be a handful (pun intended).
@Spanky
You missed when we had this conversation last year, too->

I am always missing out on shit.
Go Bobby!
Dodgers have less than 8 hrs to tender to J. Mart.
White Sox are after Dunn, so should I go ahead and start the "Sign Konerko/Trade Loney" rumor now?
(Not saying I want that, I just want to start a rumor.)
MLBTR says Konerko is close to a deal with the Pale Hose as well.
Maybe we could trade half of Jeff Shaw for Konerko. Let the ChiSox choose which half.
Seriously, if we went for Konerko, we'd have to give ChiSox some juicey early draft pick (sounds dirty the way I say it) since he's a type A free agent, and a supplemental pick - and we've already gotta hand a supplemental pick to the Battery-Chuckers for tubby over at second.
So. Uhm. Oyster pubes, anyone?
Would be nice to have some consistent power, though...
We have a protected pick, so any sacrifices in the draft come in the second round.
Also, supplemental picks never belong to clubs initially; they are only given to teams when they lose the free agent. The Jints do get a supplemental pick because we got Uribe, but that pick never belonged to us in the first place.
Yeah, they just to choose a player when we would have, if my understanding is correct. Still sucks that someone could scoop some kid out whom we'd have had instead.
Tubby better produce.
No, we never had that pick. Supplemental picks are given to teams when they lose a Type A or B free agent. They are just created out of thin air for the team.
Gotcha. Always thought we gave a pick up, we just create one for them. Now I get it. Thank you for the education, seriously.
Still kinda sucks that the Chuckers get anything out this.
Side question: It is always in the next draft only that these supplementals are dealt out, isn't it? And by what order (assuming team with worst recent record goes first?)
@Spanky
Thought you hated futbol but then you break out a Ribery reference. Are you hiding something?
Bobby Moore, favor Bobby Moore.
199 K's to get 38 HR and 103 RBI?
I'd take it.
That boy is gonna lose his mind in that stadium. Good for the southsiders.
Cats!!! Playing patty cake! Blahahahahaha!
Oh yeah, fuck FIFA, Qatar, Adam Dunn, Konerko, J. Mart's wonky hip and ESPECIALLY the Gnats!
Cats playing patty cake. HA! What will they come up with next.
@ Dusty
I know a thing or two about a thing or two.
@Spanky
Who is uglier, Ribery or Carlos Tevez?
That's a hard one, Dust. You got Cro-Magnon man on one side and fucking Franckenstein on the other. I'll have to flip a coin for this one. In a related topic, I have always wanted to put a saddle on Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho is a buck-toothed World Cup flop.
It's getting close with Martin. A shade over 20 minutes left and nothing happening. Jon Heyman says the Dodgers are trying to trade him.
I'm putting some John Coltrane on to honor Russell's contributions to the Dodgers over the years. I'll have the music set to fade toward the end.
Someone on Twitter is saying the Dodgers resigned Battle Toad.
Yeah, saw that. I'll take it if he's a swing man, fill-in type. But not a number 1-5.
New York non-tenders Irish Sean Green. No word on Ebonics Shonn Greene.
Dodgers non-tender Martin.
Russell Nathan Jeanson Coltrane Martin Jr. no longer up in dis bish.
There's still an outside chance they resign him, but for less than he would get through being tendered a contract.
