Blog This!
« on: August 18, 2006, 04:20:13 pm »
Buster Olney's blog is reporting that the Nats put Soriano on waivers and that the Astros were the team that claimed him.  They now have until Monday to work a deal.

It's an Insider blog.

Anyone know how high up the waiver pecking order are the Nats?  I was thinking that the Astros couldn't get anything the Nats would want through waivers, but if the Nats have a high pick...

Only the Cubs or Pirates could block a Washington waiver claim.  And the Cubs might not be able to, depending on today's results - they are half a game behind Washington.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Oh.  I thought it was done on last year's standings, not the current.

British comedic/character actor Martin Clunes.  He played Richard Burbage in the movie "Shakespeare in Love" and spoke the line that is my new signature.  Couldn't find a shot of him in character, so that's just one of the one's I could find.

Yes, he always looks that daft.
