Why the dutch oven? Because the term 'hot stove' needs to be retired. This feature will attempt to give you a listicle-driven source for all sorts of off-season baseball rumors. If you have any suggestions, rumors, or recipes that I can cook in my dutch oven, email us
- Provisional Rosters For WBC Announced; Corey Patterson Mysteriously Left Off: Each of the 16 countries participating in this winter's WBC named 45 members of their provisional roster, which will be whittled down to a 28-man roster come gametime. Still waiting to see which team Gaylord Perry will pitch for.
- Red Sox and Orioles Swap Pitchers Who May One Day Bring Regrets: The Sox sent David Pauley to Balty-more in exchange for Randor Bierd. One day, one of these teams may regret the trade, but I doubt it will be Boston.
- Tad Iguchi Chooses Japan: Second baseman Tadahito Iguchi has made his decision and will spend 2009 as a member of the Chiba Lotte Marines. Slow news day, people.
- Reed Johnson Has the Beard of an Old Timey Prospector: He looks like he should be playing jews harp for the Fleet Foxes.
- Your Tuesday List of Players Who Will Not Face the Arbitration Board: Braves closer Mike Gonzalez. Rockies reliever Huston Street. Dodgers OF Jason Repko. Sassy senior Jorge Cantu. White Sox closer Bobby Jenks. Cardinals OF Chris Duncan. Mets reliever Duaner Sanchez. And ugh...the Marlins male Manatees.
Reed Johnson looks like he's taking the same drugs that Joaquin Phoenix is
Only one Brewer it looks like for the US roster (Braun). Nine though over all the teams.
Scratch that, 10.
Chipper and Peavy on the same team.....shoulda been you Braves.
How did Graeme Lloyd get left off the Australian roster? Did this have something to do with it?
AMERICA HECK YEAH ME AND BRAD HAWPE ARE GONNA BRING OUR TREE STANDS WITH US TO PRACTICE DUH BECAUSE WE HUNT. ALSO I DONT KNOW WHY VICKORINO WAS ALLOWED ON THE TEAM HE IS FROM HAWAII AND THAT DOESNT COUNT AS USA. ENJOY YOUR DUMB BLOG TODAY DOPES I AM OFF TO BUY MORE GUNS BECAUSE HAWPE TOLD ME THAT TOMORROW OBAMA IS SHUTTING DOWN ALL OF THE GUN COMPANIES AND SENDING THEM TO CUBA OR SOMETHING.
Chipper loves the WBC because it helps him learn which of his teammates and opponents are which nationality, and then he can adjust his racist but playful slurs accordingly.
I don't think you can say Puerto Rican
Is Stockman still with The Braves? And he should be playing (Or not in this tournament) for Great Britain, he's as bad as A-Rod.
Stockman is still with the Braves, he was injured some of last year, and I don't think he made it up to the big club last year
Once again the Team Mormon is shunned from the WBC.
Does Team Mormon wear the magic underwear beneath the unis when they play ball?
Team Mormon makes the umpire read the lineup card inside a hat.
