		<description>Eric, Dropick is a work in progress as a 2nd baseman, he played mostly 3rd base in the bushes but that spot seems to be taken on the big club for the next 15 yrs so the plan is to send Dropkick to the WInter League to perfect his 2nd base play. Whenever Murph is asked  if he can play a fielding position his ansewer is always &quot;I can hit&quot; 

Michael I &#039;m pretty sure the Gambino&#039;s work on Shea while the Genovsese&#039; worked  on HIghlander Stadium

Eagle, I&#039;s love to watch Tyrone  v. Kerry but DirecTV wants 15 bucks a month more for Setanta which is a little too dear for me.

		<description>The other thing about Maine coming back in the pen is that it does not make baseball sense. I was at his last game vs. Houston, and he was at 87 consistently. So, you bring in a guy with a bad arm when you need a K, he throws 87, it gets pounded, and you risk further injury. WTF, guys?? Personnel management in this organization is abyssmal. And i will say for the 100th time in this space, let us never forget, that this is the organization who signed a 48 year-old pinch hitter to a TWO YEAR DEAL! 

Maybe that&#039;s why it&#039;ll feel good if they do make the post season. They&#039;ll do it in spite of themselves and the 4-year deal for Gimp. And I must differ Steve, I want K-Rod in the worst way. He&#039;s 26, he has flash, and you can keep your dinner down when he comes in. NY will love him and his act after every save.
