I’d still love to see Barroid step out from behind a curtain and get a chance to compete against the apparent winner of the Home Run Derby tonight. Maybe the MLB could promise him that, if he wins, he’s guaranteed a pinch hitter/DH spot in the postseason.
It would be a horrendous fit. Vizquel cannot hit any more. Period. Why would you want a 41-year-old guy who hung around this year for the sole purpose of breaking Luis Aparicio’s record for games played at SS?
Let’s put this one to rest forever. DO. NOT. WANT.
I hadn’t heard it anywhere but the guy who mentioned this to me has told me some things in the past that had legs including some stuff that was off the wall.
This Omar Vizquel love-fest that’s going on here has run its course…He’s had a great career, and will probably make it to Cooperstown (he’s got better numbers than Ozzie Smith, who probably shouldn’t be there anyway, but that’s a whole ‘nother story), but, as Al would say, he is DONE.
Although, he sort of fills Lou’s pathological desire for a leftie…
Omar is running on empty and has been for awhile. There are a ton of cheap kids out there who can hit 150 and play shortstop as good as Omar and would cost next to nothing. Why would you waste a roster spot on a used up hulk of what was a decent player?
I saw a nice T Shirt at the game saturday….vintage looking, throwback t shirt with worn patches to look old. Like it and cannot find it anywhere. Someone said Von Maur which bothered me a bit but can’t find it their either.

Madison Cub Fan - July 14, 2008
OK, that was funny...
But please excuse my lack of knowledge—who is questionable player #1, and why the “name starting with K” thing?
I know, I know, it’s not funny if you have to explain it. But I still want to know. Great cartoon, Mike!

Roger "Roid Rocket" Clemens
Great cartoon as always. Poor Ronny….
Jettero2112 - July 14, 2008
The "name starting with K" thing...
... all of Clemens’ kids have names that begin with “K”.
Al Yellon - July 14, 2008
Goofy
That’s just plain goofy.
What about the family with something like 200 children who’s names all start with J. They are getting pretty desperate for new names.

Vizquel
There was talk of Vizquel in my area this weekend. It would be an interesting fit.
puckishcubsfan - July 14, 2008
No, it would not.

But he's a RAKE!!!
daver - July 14, 2008
Fine.
He can be used to drag the infield.

It’s the 21st century! Why would we have our pitchers hit or run the bases??
