Make up your mind, dick. Report: Alou says he would have caught Bartman ball
ESPN.com news services
Months after being quoted as saying he would not have caught the foul ball that Chicago Cubs fan Steve Bartman reached for in the eighth inning of the 2003 National League Championship Series, Alou said he would have indeed caught the ball had it not been for fan interference, the Palm Beach Post reported on Tuesday.
In March, Alou was quoted by Associated Press columnist Jim Litke as saying that he would not have caught the foul ball that Cubs fan Steve Bartman reached for in the eighth inning of Game 6 of the NLCS. The Florida Marlins rallied for the lead in that inning and went on to win the game and the series.
"Everywhere I play, even now, people still yell, 'Bartman! Bartman!' I feel really bad," Litke quoted Alou as saying in March. "You know what the funny thing is? I wouldn't have caught it anyway."
Litke wrote that Alou, now with the New York Mets, told him this when he ran into him last summer at a department store. But Alou said last week that he did not recall telling Litke that.
"I don't remember that,'' he said, according to the Post. "If I said that, I was probably joking to make [Bartman] feel better. But I don't remember saying that.''
Another thing Alou wants to make clear is that Bartman -- whose life was turned upside down from that infamous moment -- should be forgiven and left alone.
"It's time to forgive the guy and move on. I said that the night it happened,'' Alou said, according to the Post.
The Cubs were leading the Marlins three games to two in the 2003 NLCS, ahead 3-0 in the top of the eighth inning and five outs from returning to the World Series for the first time since 1945 when Florida's Luis Castillo lifted a foul down the line in left just past the bullpen.
Alou raced over and leapt for the ball, but it hit the heel of Bartman's hand and caromed farther back into the stands.
A few pitches later, Cubs shortstop Alex Gonzalez botched a grounder that should have been an inning-ending double play. Florida erupted for eight runs and went on to win the game, the NLCS and the World Series.

Any of you guys see this? High school ball, a catcher, apparently grumpy with the home plate umpire, ducks and lets the ump get faced with a pitch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P02ZjM1fw0

MORE MILTON BRADLEY HOOPLA... deadspin.com/5015752/milton-bradley-would-like-to-have-a-word-if-youve-got-a-minuteSo Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said that Milton Bradley was "acting cordially" and "wanted to set the record straight" after Bradley's near confrontation with TV play-by-play man Ryan Lefebvre following their game with the Royals Wednesday. Yep, that's exactly how it sounds to me:
A Kansas City police officer was posted outside the TV booth after Bradley climbed four flights of stairs and reached the press level at Kauffman Stadium before being brought back to the clubhouse by Daniels. A visibly upset Bradley was fighting back tears in the clubhouse when speaking to teammates. “All I want to do is play baseball and make a better life for my kid,” Bradley said. “I’m strong, but I’m not that strong.”
Bradley was upset by comments made by Lefebvre during Texas' 11-5 win over the Royals. So what exactly was said? Lefebvre says he doesn't remember. “We were complimenting Josh Hamilton on how he’s turned his life around and taken responsibility for his mistakes,” said Lefebvre, who partners with analyst Frank White. “Frank and I were having a conversation on how it’s a shame that it doesn’t appear that Milton Bradley has done the same thing in his life."
Hard to believe that the same mild-mannered player who injured himself going after an umpire and has given us so many other fine wholesome baseball moments would charge a TV booth like that. But like Daniels said, I'm sure it was just to discuss the issue calmly. Pay no attention to the axe he brought along.

Rangers celebrate rainout with tarp slide Players cheered on by Mets' crowd as they let off some steam
NEW YORK -- Rain kept the Rangers from playing a game on Saturday night at Shea Stadium. It did not keep a few of them from getting in some sliding practice.
Tarp sliding practice in a driving rainstorm -- it was second baseman Ian Kinsler's idea and Milton Bradley seconded it.
"If you want to get on SportsCenter, you might as well do it," Bradley told his teammates.
So there were the six of them -- Bradley, Kinsler, Josh Hamilton, Michael Young, Gerald Laird and Josh Rupe -- emerging from the Rangers dugout into the pouring rain and sliding head-first across the rain-soaked tarp covering the Shea Stadium infield.
"We were having some fun," Young said. "All I heard was, 'Tarp slide! Tarp slide!' I couldn't get my cleats off fast enough."
The six were out there for only a few minutes, but long enough to get the Mets crowd cheering for them as they waited for the rain to stop. "Let's go Rangers!" is a chant usually heard in New York only at Madison Square Garden during a hockey game. But they were singing that at Shea Stadium as the Rangers went plowing head-first through huge water puddles.
"That was sweet," Young said.
"That was awesome," Kinsler said.
"That's what you call having fun," Hamilton said. "Team unity. We were saying we might be the last ones to do this in Shea Stadium. We'll be a trivia question: 'Who was the last team to tarp slide in Shea Stadium?'"
Shea Stadium is in its last year before the Mets move across the parking lot to Citi Field. The Rangers also may be the last opponent to play a doubleheader at Shea Stadium. The two teams will play a doubleheader at 12:10 p.m. CT on Sunday to make up Saturday's postponement. The Rangers will be at full force with Kevin Millwood pitching in Game 1 and Kason Gabbard pitching in Game 2.
Nobody was hurt in the Great Shea Tarp Slide.
"I've done that before," Kinsler said. "Didn't you see my form? I was trying to get somebody to go over the mound, but there were no takers."
Kinsler was basically using the same head-first sliding technique that caused him to tear his thumb in his rookie season. But he did that sliding into a base defended by an infielder. This was a rain-soaked field.
General manager Jon Daniels didn't seem to mind.
"It was spontaneous, guys blowing off steam and having fun," Daniels said. "No damage, nobody got hurt. It's not too often you get 'Let's Go Rangers!' in Queens."

Dunn taken aback by Jays' GM Veteran outfielder upset by Ricciardi's comments
CINCINNATI -- Because of tampering rules and the desire to keep thoughts close to the vest, Major League general managers are often reluctant to discuss other teams' players in any way, shape or form.
Yet Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi broke from the current etiquette in a huge way. Ricciardi publicly ripped Reds left fielder Adam Dunn on Wednesday night, saying, among other things, that he wouldn't want him on his team and that he lacked passion for baseball.
During Ricciardi's Toronto radio show, a frustrated caller asked the GM about acquiring Dunn. Instead of saying only that he had no interest, Ricciardi went several steps further.
"Let me ask you something. What do you know about Adam Dunn?" Ricciardi said to the caller. "He's a lifetime .230, .240 hitter that strikes out a ton and hits home runs.
"Do you know that the guy really doesn't like baseball all that much?" Ricciardi continued. "Do you know the guy doesn't have a passion to play the game that much? How much do you know about the player? There's a reason why you're attracted to some players and there's a reason why you're not attracted to some players. I don't think you'd be very happy if we brought Adam Dunn here."
The Blue Jays, mired in last place in the American League East, had just finished losing their fourth straight game and Ricciardi sounded defensive with the caller as he took shots at Dunn.
The reasons behind the comments didn't matter much to Dunn, who read a transcript of what Ricciardi said. The 28-year-old Dunn was expectedly displeased on Thursday morning.
"I know nothing about this clown. I have no idea who he is," Dunn said. "I don't really care what one guy thinks, to be honest with you. If I'm a GM, I don't know if I would go out of my way to kind of discredit a player."
After talking for a few more minutes, Dunn showed he really did care about Ricciardi's comments.
"It [ticks] me off, to be honest with you," Dunn said. "He doesn't even know me. If he knew me, fine, say what you want. This guy doesn't know anything about me, other than what he sees on whatever 'SportsCenter' they have up there. That's it."
The timing of Ricciardi's comments was especially bizarre. After this weekend's three-game series with the Yankees in New York, the Reds will play three games at Toronto next week.
Dunn might have a little more incentive to beat the Blue Jays, but he said he wouldn't take his displeasure with Ricciardi out on them.
"The players didn't say anything," said Dunn, a lifetime .247 hitter. "It was some clown sitting in the front office pushing paper."
Reds manager Dusty Baker read and listened to Riccardi's comments and expressed surprise.
"It serves no purpose. That's not like J.P., either," Baker said. "I don't understand the cause or the need for that dialogue."
Baker was asked if Ricciardi's comments had any validity.
"I ain't in that" Baker said. "All I know is that, if I'm Adam Dunn, they'd have a hard time getting me out, no lie."
Entering Thursday afternoon's game, Dunn was batting .227 with a team-leading 18 home runs and 43 RBIs. While he has struck out 71 times, his 60 walks led the Majors.
In Cincinnati, Dunn has often drawn criticism for his laid-back demeanor and lack of defensive prowess. However, his career numbers and games played aren't generally indicative of someone who doesn't like baseball or lacks passion for the game.
Dunn played in 160 or more games from 2004-06 and 152 games last season. He's hit 40 or more homers and drawn 100 or more walks the past four seasons. He's scored 100 runs and driven in at least 100 RBIs in three of the past four seasons.
"He's kind of what you see on the other side of the field. He's a gentle giant," said Baker, who previously managed against Dunn with the Giants and Cubs. "Personally, I'd like to see him mad."
In the option year of his contract that pays him $13 million this season, Dunn can be a free agent after this season. It's already made him the subject of trade rumors. Don't expect any Dunn-to-the-Blue Jays rumors to surface now.
"If anything happens, I ain't going to Toronto," Dunn said. "I can eliminate one team. I'm not converting my dollars to loonies and toonies just yet."

LOL @ "Campbell did a little more than argue the call, however. Gera said that he told her the first mistake she made was putting on an umpire's uniform and that she would be better off peeling potatoes in the kitchen."
But what does a female ump expect to happen when she comes out with a PINK brush to use on home plate?
June 24, 1972: Baseball's first female umpire
By Michael Scholl / National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
With a career as short as it was historic, Bernice Gera became the first woman to umpire a professional baseball game on June 24, 1972.
Gera attempted to break her way into baseball in 1969. She filed a lawsuit against organized baseball two years later, citing a civil rights violation. Gera had signed a contract with the Class A Short-Season New York-Penn League, only to see it voided six days later without cause.
On Jan. 13, 1972, the courts reached a verdict in Gera's favor and ruled she would be allowed to umpire starting that June when the season began. Her first assignment came on June 24 in a game between the Geneva Rangers and Auburn Phillies.
Controversy erupted in the game during the fourth inning. Auburn's Terry Ford was on second base and broke for third with the pitch. The batter hit a line drive to Rangers second baseman Jim Pascarella, who caught the ball and fired to shortstop Brian Doyle at second base in an attempt to double up Ford.
Gera's initial call was safe, but she quickly reversed it and called Ford out. That did not go over well with Auburn manager Nolan Campbell, who argued the call and was ejected.
Campbell did a little more than argue the call, however. Gera said that he told her the first mistake she made was putting on an umpire's uniform and that she would be better off peeling potatoes in the kitchen.
This did not go over so well with Gera, who found no choice but to resign following her only game.
"I could beat them in the courts, but I can't beat them on the field," she told people who asked about her story, according to her husband. Gera complained about the treatment she received from players and the refusal of her fellow umpires to work with her.
This didn't mark the end of Gera's career in the sport she loved, however, as she went on to work for the New York Mets' public relations office from 1974-79.
Gera later donated the uniform she wore and the pink brush she used to clean the plate from that historic game to the National Baseball Hall of Fame for safekeeping in Cooperstown.
Gera passed away following a battle with cancer in 1992.

Holy Hell, I forgot to post about this. The other night, watching some late Arizona DB baseball, I saw the worst case of train-wreck TV I can remember.
They did this thing for the July 4th weekend where they hooked up a soldier in Iraq with family, out at the ballpark. Sounds decent in theory, but in execution this blew up in everyones face.
They get this soldier hooked up, and put the game in a little box in the corner, which goes on at a crucial time as an afterthought for this sideshow. They have, in the studio, this soldiers Mom in niece. It was odd in that the soldier was certainly hispanic, but the Mom and niece were more Asian than jasmine rice.
Anyway, Mom was DRUNK. VERY DRUNK. To start, no one can hear each other. That gets fixed, and Mom starts slurring about how last time soldier was home, he was out with his friends and ignored the family. She was joking, sure, but it sounded bad. She then called him "RELLY BELLY" more than once, which apparently was a nickname for him. The soldier was blushing and asking her to stop, while his friends off camera were hooting.
She then said she saw the new Jolie movie, and he reprimanded her cause they "had a deal" to not see movies without the other in tow. She then asked him something about the movie, which it was just established he had not seen.
They ask the niece, who is 4 or 5, to say something to her Uncle. Of course she sits there staring blankly, and doesnt. That scene went on and on.
When they ask the soldier to tell his neice something, instead of saying, oh, I dont know, that he loves her, he says, "Stop being bad! I know you have been being bad to your brother. Stop being bad." Again, he is sorta joking, but it sounded callous, and not what anyone expected, I am sure.
The whole thing was an absolute mess. It went on for like 10 minutes, you could see the AZ hostess all uncomfy cause she knew it was off the rails, and when they cut back to the game it was never mentioned again.

Oh ... my ... GOD:
CHICAGO -- Finally, the perfect answer for a team that has been killing its fans for 100 years: A place to put their remains.
A Chicago man and Bohemian National Cemetery on the city's North Side are joining forces to build for Cubs fans a final resting place that looks a lot like the spot where they saw their dreams of a pennant die year after year.
Called "Beyond the Vines," the 24-foot long ivy-covered wall is designed to look like the one in dead center at Wrigley Field.
It's all on the drawing board now, but the wall is expected to be up and ready to accept fans in October -- just about the time Cubs fans are starting their annual mantra of "Wait till next year."
And when it does go up, Dennis Mascari the president of Fans Forever, Inc., says it will transform the cemetery experience, if not for the dead, at least for the living.
"When you come to a cemetery to visit a loved one it's usually a pretty sad, gloomy situation," he said, standing on the lawn where the wall will be erected. "But when you come here and visit [what looks like] his home away from home ... Wrigley Field, it's going to be a great feeling for people." Mascari, 60, is envisioning something special. There will be a stained-glass scoreboard. And at each of the 280 niches in the wall -- "eternal skyboxes, that's what we call them," he says -- there will be an urn emblazoned with the Cubs logo.
Near each urn will be a bronze baseball card with a photograph of the deceased fan who, Mascari said, depending on the wishes of the family can be dressed up in a Cubs hat, Cubs jersey or full Cubs uniform. It could also include the dead fan's 'statistics' such as date of birth, date of death, and maybe their favorite Cubs game and favorite Cub.
There's even talk of piping in Cubs games on speakers so nobody, living or dead, will miss an inning. Not only that, but if this idea appeals to more than 280 Cubs fans, the cemetery has set aside enough land to add a right-field wall and a left-field wall.
The price tag for interment will cost as much as $5,000, the "grand slam" package that includes pick up of the body and delivery to Bohemian for cremation in its brand new $100,000 cremation oven, a service, and, of course, the baseball card plaque and urn.
But Mascari knows there are plenty of fans who have long since died and their remains are just sitting in urns somewhere, waiting for their own Field of Dreams. Interment of those ashes can cost as little as $1,200.
If this sounds, well, crazy, urns with the logo of the Cubs and other sports teams are already on the market and the maker of those urns -- Eternal Image -- says last year that Cubs urns accounted for 10 percent of their Major League urn sales.
And nobody who saw survivors of dead Cubs fans bring photographs to the 2003 playoffs will forget the sight of them trudging home, pictures under their arms, after the Cubs once again failed to reach the World Series.
Besides, Cubs fans have for years been scattering ashes of loved ones at Wrigley Field -- a tradition immortalized by the late singer-songwriter Steve Goodman, in whose "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" an old man asks his own family to do just that at the "ivy-covered burial ground." Those ashes include some of Goodman's, scattered there by family and friends a year after his death.
That tradition reminds Mascari that his wall can offer something to fans they can't possibly get from having their ashes scattered on the outfield grass: Peace of mind.
"Last year the turf [at Wrigley] was removed," Mascari explained. "So something like this would make sure that fans would never have to worry about any turf being removed and put somewhere else."
Over at Wrigley, the Cubs aren't saying much. Team spokesman Peter Chase said in an e-mail that nobody connected with the team had heard of the wall or wanted to talk about it.
A longtime Cubs fan himself, Mascari hopes the team likes the idea, if for no other reason it might prompt fans to head to his wall and not Wrigley with dead fans' ashes.
But since there won't be a Cubs logo on the wall and the company that makes the urns is already licensed to do so by Major League Baseball, he doesn't think the Cubs can stop the wall if they wanted to.
One man who is talking about it is Philip Roux, the superintendent at the cemetery.
"I think this is great, the best publicity a cemetery could have," said Philip Roux, Bohemian's superintendent.
For one thing, he said it would remind people that the cemetery perhaps best known for being the final resting place for Anton Cermak, the Chicago mayor who was assassinated by a man aiming for President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is still open.
"We have space available," Roux said.
The big test will, of course, be convincing Cubs fans their remains belong in the friendly confines of Bohemian National Cemetery.
Out at Wrigley, where the Cubs were playing this week, fans' opinions varied. Some said they hated the idea. Others said they liked it but wouldn't want their remains to be alone and they just couldn't imagine their family members joining them.
Steve Kopetsky, a 53-year-old fan who lives in Corte Madera, Calif., said he didn't have a problem with spending the money to reserve a spot on the wall as much as he did if word got out that he'd done so.
"My wife would kill me," he said.
But Don Rood, a 31-year-old Chicagoan who wore his "Die-Hard Cub Fan" shirt to the game, said it makes perfect sense.
"What else are you going to do, lay in a box next to loved ones?" he asked. "It would symbolize what your passion is, what you enjoyed about your life."

KANSAS CITY—Royals shortstop Tony Peña Jr. expressed his long-held grievances Wednesday concerning the unfairness and injustice involved in not having a base of his own to cover. "It's not fair. Why does every infielder get a base but me?" said Peña, who has received two warnings from umpires in recent games to stop bringing out his own base to shortstop. "[First baseman Mark] Teahen gets to stand right on his very own base all day. And [catcher John] Buck gets to wear all that cool equipment and hang out by the most important base of them all. I'm stuck in no man's land, just throwing the ball to everyone else. This sucks." Second baseman Mark Grudzielanek later met with Peña to discuss a compromise in which both players would stand approximately the same distance from second

My grandparents, who have driven across country many times, always tell me about this place in Amarillo, TX - Big Texan Steak Ranch. The place features a 72 oz. Steak dinner (salad, and roll) that, if eaten in 1 hour or less, is free. The Record is held by former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Frank Pastore: .....Bob, always ready to have some fun, gave him a big grin and started cooking steaks. When the cowboy finally yelled, “calf rope,” he had consumed 4 ½ pounds of meat. Bob declared from that day forward, the meal would be free to anyone who could eat it all in 1 hour.
......Since then, almost 42,000 people from around the world have traveled to Amarillo and attempted to eat the specially cut 72-oz. top sirloin steak, a baked potato, salad, dinner roll and shrimp cocktail. About 8,000 have succeeded in completing the feat and joining the ranks of Big Texan champions. They come from all walks of life. Winners have included an 11-year-old boy and a 69-year-old grandmother. Former Cincinnati Reds Pitcher Frank Pastore did it in a record time of 9 ½ minutes. The unofficial record for the fastest time belongs to a Bengal Tiger. His meal was limited to the steak only and he dined in the front of the building. The technique was the simplest we've ever seen: sniff, lick, gulp! It took him less than 90 seconds.www.bigtexan.com/72ozlive.htm

8000 out of 42,000 is a pretty high success rate.
Anyone remember on the Simpsons when Homer entered one of those steak-eating challenges, and got reprimanded beforehand by Marge for eating all the bread first?

I entered a steak eating challenge once. Did better than a guy 400 pounds and made fun of him. I ate 68 oz in an hour. It was an 80 oz steak. You had to eat it in an hour. I actually ran out of time, not room.

So Baxter the Bobcat, the Diamondbacks mascot, was fired. Check this out. The doof was coming back from an appearance, with the costume in the back of the vehicle, which incidentally was splattered with D-Backs logos.
He was driving over 90 in a 45 MPH zone, smoking a joint, and had a blood-alcohol content over twice the legal limit.
Way to go!

The Arizona Diamondbacks owe former outfielder Bernard Gilkey $500,000 per year for the next TWENTY FIVE YEARS thanks to a shoddy contract they agreed upon years ago.
Gilkey drove in 50 runs in 3 years with the DBacks.
