Pickoff Moves
I Guess He Doesn't Read This Blog
Bartolo Colón, on what inspired him to yesterday's 6-1 win over the A's:"I was asking, Lord, help me do a better job," Colon said. "I want to give the fans all the love they have given me since I got here."
Bush League
Padres top pick Matt Bush was suspended before playing his first professional game; according to the San Diego Union-Tribune, he bit a nightclub bouncer. How dumb is that?Arte's Still Talking To Goodyear
Arte's still talking to the city of Goodyear, AZ about Spring Training facilities. If the team does move its facilities, hopefully they won't repeat the mistakes made at Tempe, where the metal seating is just unbearable on a hot day.Wash's Still Having Back Trouble, Lackey Serves Suspension
In that same article, Washburn's back is still spasming, not good news for his next start. And of course, John Lackey will serve his suspension.Felipe Alou Can Use A Calendar
In the Times:"I was saying how terribly early it is because I know there were many who were saying it was getting late for us," said Giant Manager Felipe Alou, whose team is 24-9 in its last 33 games."I wish it would be the last day of the season today, but all of a sudden we have three more months to play or more."
More On DePo's Garcia Talks
Almost forgot to include this one: according to Peter Greenberg, agent for Mariners pitcher Freddie Garcia, DePodesta's in talks with the M's for that starter (soul-sucking registration required).During the Dodgers' interleague series last week with Baltimore, Dodgers general manager Paul DePodesta said that he was going to work the phones in pursuit of possible acquisitions and that he wouldn't shy away from going after a player who could test the market at the end of the season.Greenberg said Garcia might not go the free-agent route, however.
"We'll wait and see what happens," Greenberg said. "We're willing to talk about an extension. We haven't made any final decision as far as that goes."
Comments:
Rob - your post says that "DePodesta's in talks with Peter Greenberg", but the P-E excerpt you included doesn't say that DePo and Greenberg conferred together. Is there more in the P-E article that says that Greenberg and DePo have actually talked about a contract extension?
If they have, how could that not be tampering?

unrelated, but I stumbled onto our old friend Jolbert Cabrera on MLB gameday... looks like he has turned his season around, batting 304 now. good for him.
