More Jeff Allison Woes
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for a former Marlins first-round draft pick who failed to appear at a court hearing. Jeff Allison, a right-handed pitcher from Peabody, Mass., was arrested in October and charged with felony possession of heroin and possession of a stolen vehicle. The News & Record of Greensboro said Guilford County Judge Susan Burch issued the warrant and a $2,500 secured bond after Allison missed the preliminary hearing. The judge barred the public from the hearing, and Allison's public defender declined comment. The charges carry up to four years in prison. Lawyers have discussed waiving jail time if Allison completes rehabilitation for drug addiction. The 22-year-old Allison, the 16th player selected in the 2003 First-Year Player Draft, has missed two of the past three seasons and has acknowledged drug addiction. He started 18 games in 2005 for the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the Class A South Atlantic League. It just keeps getting worse

Marlins announce spring report date
Chris George is a former 1st round pick of the Royals. Does anyone have a scouting report on him? I read a brief report on him saying he has good movement on his pitches, but struggles against right handers. Maybe he could be a specialist.

so including the buyout of 3 million, next year he'll make 13.5 Million. They should have just picked up the 14 million option.

Miguel in HR Derby in Maracaibo
Do I'm the only one hating the idea of Miguel participating on this? He did it last year too and for the all star break and it didnt affect him, so I dont see a problem with it.

Yanks deal Wright to the Orioles
What a deal for the O's. Jaret Wright stinks. Well he's getting reunited with Leo, and he's entering his contract year so this could turn out be a great deal for the O's.

Glad to know voters in South Dakota are well informed. At least with the Ascroft defeat people knew the candidate was dead. Did you read the article? It says that the voters knew that the candidate was dead.

Chavez-backed Marxist revolutionary about to win election in Nicaragua
Well, supposedly Ortega has gone rightward in some respects. He even voiced his support for the anti-abortion law just passed. Thats what he says. He's got elected by saying such things, and by promises of lower oil prices. He's actually already delivered on the later with the help of Chavez, but he's a communist and always will be.

Chavez-backed Marxist revolutionary about to win election in Nicaragua
It was bought by Venezuela? Or did the United States do a poor job of buying it themselves? The latter. The State Department, starting about 8 years ago, decided they didn't like one of the parties and have backed a rival party. Unfortunately, the party they didn't like was right wing, the party they are backing is right of center. So it splits the vote. If there were but one conservative party in Nicaragua, then Ortega would stand no chance. This is a Clinton AND Bush era massive screw up. I could be wrong but I thought the right wing split after Bolanos went after Aleman over Aleman stealing some $100 million while he was president. It is a little older than that, but the big push that made the 3rd party viable was the allegations that Aleman stole $100 mil The party split because of Aleman, not the US. Bola?os went after Alemema, who's the leader of his party, and then Bola?os couldnt rule because his party allied with Ortega's party.Then The right wing party split. There has being no signs that this election was rigged, so sadly, the sandinistas won fair and square. We can expect to see properties get confiscated, and any somozistas left in he country get killed or thrown in jail.

From The WTF Dept: Phillies Sign 43 year old Moyer to 2 year extension
Kenny Rogers got a 2 year deal from Detroit didn't he? Rogers also isn't 44. He was also an all-star pitching in Texas. It not shocking he's pitching great now that he's in a pitchers park. The opposite is true for Moyer, which is why this deal sucks for them.

Rogers smudge or CHEAT?
He's being pitching with it for the entire post season. The guy should have being thrown out. If using pine tar is an accepted part of the game, I'm sure is ok as long as you dont get caught, and he got caught. Thats not ok And you know this how? I don't recall anything being spotted or brought up at all before tonight. He seemed to be pitching "decent" without it from the 2nd inning on so I don't think he needed it to cheat nor do I think he was trying to cheat. The guy is on a roll, not every accomplishment in sports these days has to be considered cheating. BBTN showed footage from the ALDS and ALCS where he had the same mysterious dirt spot. Unless this is some sort of superstision where he's not washing his left hand, he's cheating. The least he could do is put on his glove or cap, dont make it that obvious.
