Do dogs whisper to Phil Rogers, too?
There's not really anything jaw-dropping in this week's edition of Crazy Uncle Phil is hearing whispers again. But with precious little else to report, we'll hop on the crazy train and take a ride till the next stop.
The Aroldis Chapman market is going to be interesting to judge. The Mariners are the latest team to jump seriously into the bidding, possibly hoping to have another front-line arm so they can deal Felix Hernandez before he reaches free agency. The Cubs and White Sox have expressed interest, but it's unclear if they have the resources to compete with the Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, Mets, Tigers, Orioles and others for the Cuban with the 100 mph fastball. ...Does anyone think the Cubs have any realistic shot? Consider the fact that everyone in the organization has said they don't have room to add much payroll. Just a hunch that he won't be signed by the Cubs. Also, Phil's hearing whispers from Arizona.
White Sox center fielder Jordan Danks and Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro are tearing up the Arizona Fall League. But no one is hotter than A's outfielder Grant Desme , who opened 2009 at low-A Kane County. Desme was 23-for-53 with 10 home runs and 22 RBIs in 13 games. Props to Baseball America for saying he was so hot he might "combust." The Cubs need to be careful rushing Castro, but Lou Piniella is going to love him next spring.

So the Bears are at least going to be able to beat the Browns, right?

Does anyone else dislike hunter hillenmeyer? I know he's "smart, heads up player", but he seems especially good at not being athletic enough to play football.
JulieDiCaro said:
I agree. I think we're better off with him on IR.

I don't think Lovie understands the challenge system.

I'm pretty sure the Beatles did not want their songs to be used to sell Blackberry's.
And a sexy girl in short running shorts does not make me want to buy shoes. No matter how much of "lets joke about sex in advertising" there is. Too much sex appeal in an ad is still offensive, even if you're just joking about it.
Reebok must have Jeff Dunham planning their ads.

I love that ad.
JulieDiCaro said:
She makes me want to buy those shoes.
Those commercials are for women, not men.

It pains me to want the Vikings to win this game.

Ha ha. Damon didn't notice he got hit because the ball hit him in the head.

CC in? Girardi should have gotten up Gaudin to plunk somebody, THEN put CC in.

Hit, like hell!

Dear Chase,
I feel like I can call you Chase because you and me are so much alike. I would love to meet you someday. It would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you, but I think you would be impressed with my speed. I love your hair. You run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about, and more. I know you have not been getting my letters, because I know you would write back if you did and I hope you write back this time and we get to be good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real home run.

You put stickers on it!?!

Chase Utley is a power-hitting 2nd baseman. Do you know how rare that is, Dee!?
millertime said:
Why do we never play nightcrawlers anymore, huh?!?
Umbra said:
Tie game on a Pedro Feliz solo home run! This is a great game!
Umbra said:
ARod with an RBI double in the top of the ninth to put the Yanks ahead.

I'm glad people are focusing more on the farm system. This is where we need to develop talent and get prospects. I'd take a team of green rookies than one Milton Bradley. I can't wait for the day when they finally send Soriano down to Iowa and after two weeks there he comes back re-energized and awesome.
