More Context-Free Notes

Frank In The Black

This San Francisco Chronicle report says Frank claims he's in the black this year.

Snakes' Park No Longer The BOB

In that same story, the Diamondbacks' naming deal with BancOne will change thanks to that bank's buyout by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (And yes, boneheads, it's spelled B-A-N-K, not the damn French way. This is America, get used to it. Nobody's mistaking you for a Swiss bank.)

Toronto Game Times Confuse Snakes

And speaking of the Snakes, Arizona centerfielder Steve Finley almost didn't make it to Skydome on time for their ... 4:00 PM start. Huh? That's what I said, too. Damn Canucks, and after that Victoria Day scheduling, my heart is hardening towards that country... declare war against 'em or something. Makes me glad we chased the Brits out, that's for sure.

Weaver Pitchin' Too Many

As if we needed another reason to drop his signing bonus, Jered Weaver's got the Angels staff concerned that throwing too many pitches for CSULB:
Long Beach State right-hander Jered Weaver, the Angels' first-round pick in Monday's draft, threw 137 pitches in Friday's NCAA super-regional game against Arizona. They were not doing cartwheels about it in the Angel front office.

"That's pretty much at a limit, I would think," General Manager Bill Stoneman said. "That's a lot of pitches."

Great, the kid starts for Provo next year and blows out his elbow from overuse. Thanks for the $7 million signing bonus, Arte -- I'm going to Disneyland!
