He is the man. While I'd be sad to see him outside of a Phillies uniform, I wish him the best and hope he makes the roster.

I will not hear one bad word spoken against the Dinger Machine. They're going to find one of those things buried on the surface of the moon. It was given to us by forces beyond our comprehension, and it lords over all.
Look at it.
Look at this fucking thing.
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
I can't wait to see the new Marlins stadium. It looks really cool. I bet they're glad as hell that this won't happen anymore:

^Oh god that looks hypnotizing. It will make Marlins Ball Park look unique, that's for sure.
I give it a month at most.
I have a vision of Ozzie taking a sledgehammer to the thing.
I'd pay good money to see that, BTW.

If Ozzie strikes the Dinger Machine down, it will become more powerful than he can possibly imagine.
The Dinger Machine should be the size of the stadium and its moving parts should be so loud that it disrupts traffic and causes people to assume that one of Stanton's massive dingers has finally triggered the end times.

I'm waiting to see how the shrunken outfield distances work at Citi this year. Rumor has it if that doesn't improve power numbers all Mets batters will have the option of hitting off a tee or an underhanded lob from their father, with the promise of a trip to Carvel afterwards regardless.
Speaking of Ozzie, he did get thrown out of his first game of the year today.
Is that a record for the earliest heave-ho in a season?

The Andy Pettitte thing has me a little worried. I hope it works out alright....
Holy shit. Fuck Miami.
Why do the residents have to make sacrifices for a park that was imposed on them? Jesus Christ. Remember that the bullshit public funding for this stadium was justified with how it was going to help all these people (even though the "stadium as an anchor for development" argument is not valid, and a stadium never pays back in economic impact what it cost).

^ I agree, that parking shit is way out of line. 
Although I blame the city of Miami (almost as much as the Marlins) for not establishing a transit infrastructure. If there's no way to reach Marlins Park other than by car, it's going to lead to situations like this. Especially since parking garages and lots can only be so big.
If everything happened the way it should, these property owners would be able to charge fans to park on their property. That's what used to happen where I live, when the College World Series was down at Rosenblatt Stadium. That was a whole industry unto itself down there.

Braves legend Chipper Jones has decided to retire at the end of the 2012 season. He had a rough 2010 season and was often a liability at defense that year, but had a resurgence in 2011 and often made some amazing plays when he was fully healthy. His knees seems to finally be failing him at age 40.
Sorry Yankee fans, you just lost one of your pitchers to a freak injury.

I dislocated my ankle in college playing pickup hoops when I was 20. Tore the two ligaments on the outside of it, dislocated the bone, and took a chip out of the socket part. This was much less severe than what they're talking about here, but it still bothers me at 32.
