Today I learned about the Prussian-French and Prussian-Austrian Wars. It was fun for the whole family. I resolved to learn more about Otto von Bismarck.

Hurley, In the right thread, the Jays scored in the bottom of the 18th. There was a runner on third with one away, and Scoscia brought in an outfielder to be a fifth infielder and brought them all in. It was a pretty good strategy, except the grounder by Hudson went right under the second baseman's glove.

Ron Darling!
The Expos have turned things around!
Say, it's too bad Infection has disappeared -- I would love to know his thoughts about Chad Cordero's banner season.

Infection! I remember you and I were among the first to follow Chad, and look at him now. He has grown up under our loving eyes! And as soon as the Nationals trade him, wow, he's gonna be famous! Btw, what did you think of the smoke-and-mirrors Nationals team this year? And that crazy ol' Jim Bowden? Have they rehired him yet?

I am bery excited about the Nats! And they are doing it with next to no offense. Their starters have been great, and Chad, say no more!!! How about those Jays? I hope the Yankees sweep them and put them out of their misery.

I hope the Yankees sweep them and put them out of their misery. 2006 is the year, babee. They just need to finish over .500. 82, 83 wins, add a few arms in the offseason, a veteran bat, and it's all good. You know they have given the green light to add salary in the offseason, right? IT'S GONNA BE A SWEET 2006.

Medias Blancas, wuhu!
Gosh this was funny:
Then Guillen went to the mound and raised both arms to make the fat-and-tall sign for his portly pitcher. Jenks, a right-handed rookie who began the year at Double-A, came in to face Jeff Bagwell.
``I don't want to embarrass the kid, but I want the big boy,'' Guillen said.
Jenks didn't mind.
``I think it's pretty funny,'' he said.

The real secret of Chicago's success:
"1. Dustin Hermanson; 2. Orlando (El Duque) Hernandez; 3. Carl Everett; 4. Chris Widger, and 5. Geoff Blum. You guessed it. They, too, are all former Expos"
And...
"Guillen spent one year as a third-base coach with the Expos "

Delgado to stand for God Bless America (as opposed to standing for his principles )NEW YORK (AP) - Now that he's been traded to the New York Mets, Carlos Delgado says he is willing to stand on the field during the playing of God Bless America. After putting on a Mets jersey at a Shea Stadium news conference Monday, Delgado said he spoke about his anti-war protest with New York chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon. "I gave him my views on that subject and I also said I would not put myself in front of the team," Delgado said. "The Mets have a policy that everybody should stand for God Bless America and I will be there. I will not cause any distractions to the ball club." While playing for the Toronto Blue Jays and then with the Florida Marlins last year, Delgado avoided standing on the field when God Bless America was played, staying in the dugout, runway or clubhouse. "The reason why I didn't stand for God Bless America was because I didn't like the way they tied God Bless America and 9-11 to the war in Iraq, in baseball," he said when he joined the Marlins in January. Wilpon said the matter had been discussed during negotiations when Delgado was a free agent after the 2004 season. Wilpon said Delgado promised to follow whatever policy was set by manager Willie Randolph. "His comment was: If Willie and the Mets have rules, he will follow the team rule," Wilpon said Monday. "He's not going to put himself before the team. So he's going to have his own political views, which he's going to keep to himself." Delgado said there will be a transition for New York fans and their feelings about him. "I'm sure there are going to be times where they're going to cheer, I'm sure they're going to be times when they're going to boo," he said.

Ichiro's enthusiasm backfires in Baseball Classic
Monday • March 6, 2006
Superstar Ichiro Suzuki's enthusiasm at being back in Japan backfired as he provoked South Korea and failed to rescue his team in their dramatic loss in the World Baseball Classic, reports said.
The Seattle Mariners outfielder, who set a US record for hits in a single season in 2004, had said before the tournament that he wanted to prove Japan's baseball supremacy in Asia to the South Koreans.
"I want them to think it will be impossible to win against Japan for the next 30 years," Ichiro said before the start of the inaugural 16-nation World Baseball Classic.
South Korea, which has a strong rivalry with Japan in part due to bitterness over Japanese colonialism, was incensed by Ichiro's remarks.
"South Korean media asked him the hidden meaning of his remarks and some South Korean players blurted out that they would set out to beat Japan and say the same phrase to him," the Sankei Shimbun reported.
In a stadium packed with more than 40,000 people including a boisterous South Korean cheering squad, Ichiro, the last batter of the game, ruined Japan's last chance on Sunday.
Amid a flurry of cameras flashing, with fans chanting Ichiro's name as they did when he played in Japan, the baseball hero hit a feeble pop-up into the glove of the South Korean shortstop.
The tension was palpable during the game, as South Korean pitchers hit Ichiro in the back in the seventh inning and then repeatedly tried to pick him off first base.
One inning later, South Korea's Lee! Seung! Yeop! -- who plays in Japan -- cracked a stunning homer for two runs pushing his team ahead, 3-2.
Although both Japan and South Korea advance to the next round, both having clobbered China and Taiwan, the game capped the personal failure of Ichiro who is batting 3-for-13 in the Classic.
"If I'm satisfied with this result, I would have to quit playing baseball," a dejected Ichiro told reporters after the game. — AFP
