Wrong. You never boo. Ever. Have you ever been booed by your home crowd? I have and it sucks donkey balls. If the Astros sign Carlos Zambrano, I will boo. #ExceptionsToEveryRule |

FWIW, via Greg Lucas a couple of minutes ago ( LINK): Lee Still Undecided
Carlos Lee had still not decided whether he would accept a trade to the Dodgers as I put these words into the laptop at about 11pm Eastern Sunday night. A final decision by Lee could come at any time. He may have been thinking he should have accepted the trade earlier today while on the Astros flight to Pittsburgh. |

Not even then, OSF. Not even then. If the club does something stupid like that, then I might not go to the games that he pitches. But not even signing Zambrano would get me to pull against the ballclub. |

Can anyone think of a situation like this happening before? A player turning down the chance to go from an awful team to a contender? Maybe it happens all the time, I jut cant recall one.

I think I remember Fred McGriff doing this with he was with the Rays. He eventually acquiesced and accepted the trade to the Cubs. Of course, it was the cubs so I'm not sure it counts.

I don't think anyone thought 2000 was more than a blip on the radar or that Alou was at the end of his career. Lee (likely) only has a couple of seasons left, and any chance to win is going to rest with him being elsewhere. |

But he maintained a very hands-on approach to the games. |

Did he tell Hunsicker if he ever tried to do that again " You're in trouble"? |

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap. It does not lend itself to protocol. It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants. Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility. A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I use the name of my mythical minor league baseball team that I used to write about from time to time: Hammond Eggs. Even though I haven't a pot to piss in, I still dream of owning a minor league baseball team and building new scoreboards for all of the little league ballparks in town and being a big part of the community. I'd be such a benevolent owner. It's a shame. |

Did they have a cross-town rival called the Hammond Cheese? |
