"Gary Matthews Jr., Rick Ankiel, Troy Glaus and Scott Schoeneweis also were linked to performance-enhancing drugs, but baseball decided there was "insufficient evidence" to determine they committed a doping violation. They were accused of receiving the substances before 2005" Ankiel說04年在肩膀手術後服用的所有藥物,都是按照醫師指示服用的。大聯盟官方在05年頒布相關罰則,由於沒有明顯的證據顯示涉入服用禁藥的 Ankiel等人在05年之後有違反藥物規定,所以他們在明年球季不會遭到禁賽的處分(簡單來說: Ankiel在肩膀手術後服藥那時,大聯盟並未有相關藥物使用規定;遭到禁賽15場的選手則是 Jose Guillen與 Jay Gibbons,而文章也提到關於印地安人投手Paul Byrds的調查將會在近期內完成)。 Cards的GM Walt Jocketty (left)陪 Ankiel出來說明有關 HGH的爭議 關於 Rick Ankiel的小故事,曾於2001年2月被紐約時代雜誌介紹: A mound of trobles The New York Times Magazine--Pat Jordan
Teddy Bear Toss is November 24, 2007 by PDXWinterHawks(YouTube) 這隻影片是宣傳今年Portland Winter Hawks將會在11/24再度來丟丟小熊,去年他們創下了14361隻泰迪熊的紀錄。 看到這種愛心的活動真好,台灣常見的多是棒球與籃球的義賣表演賽,也可以試著舉行類似的活動,場地可以找一些室內的體育場館,大家也許沒有購買那麼多的泰迪熊,主題也可以換成絨毛玩具,布娃娃等。換換不同的方式將愛心送出去應該也不錯。

會以Kobe當作標題,是因為最近有關他的rumor不斷,除了公牛之外,小牛也被傳說是Kobe有興趣去的隊伍。但如果要換他過來,我們將會失去誰呢?如 Jean-Jacques Taylor 文中所提到的三個方案: (1)Josh+Harris+蛋皮+Ager+08'跟10'年的第一輪選秀權+現金->Kobe+金剛狼 (2) 和(1)出一樣的人換Kobe+Cook+Vujacic (3)Jet+Josh+Diop+Ager->Kobe
當時Taylor的想法就是不要動到Dirk,想辦法去營造Kobe加上Dirk的新陣容。Jeff Caplan也提到,在這週五老闆Cuban的伊妹兒也證實"Nowitzki not going anywhere",所以除了Dirk之外,Josh, Jet, 跟Harris都勢必會成為交易籌碼中的一部分,前提是小牛真的要Kobe過來 "Cuban has said the Mavs have not talked to Lakers management. If the Mavs are interested in trading for the Lakers' disgruntled superstar, a combination of players such as Josh Howard, Devin Harris and Jason Terry would be prime pieces" Harris跟Josh是近年小牛極力栽培的年輕人,Josh除了進攻之外,長手臂加上他的機動力帶來了防守,籃板。Harris雖然控球尚未成氣候,還不夠穩,但犀利的切入武器,投籃能力也慢慢加強中,但是他走的話,專職PG就剩下6呎的Barea。Jet的話,在Nah走了之後才找到這個娃娃臉神射手,短短幾年也是相當受到球迷的喜愛,要說缺點的話,防守到對方的高大SG時容易被吃,擔任控衛的話,你知道的他骨子裡總有個想要用得分劃破天際的心。 Kobe in a Mavericks uniform? It's worth consideration 中Randy Galloway也探討到一些相關問題。 Q:Does that make the Mavs that much better? 交易會使小牛隊更強嘛? A:近期Kobe在湖人常感嘆缺少了另一位重要球員與他並肩作戰,所以Dirk是他想要來這裡的主要原因。而Kobe的到來同時能讓Dirk將肩上"球隊指標人物"的重擔減輕一些,這有助於Dirk的表現。
看了Sony Music的介紹,令人意外的是他只有17歲,是個一臉稚氣的小胖底底,不過歌聲真是格外成熟,聽起來還蠻能引起身體律動的。他是今年相當受到矚目的嘻哈新人包辦歌曲創作,不過國內代理將他的首張專輯翻成"驚為天才",我覺得就用同名專輯的稱呼就好,而且曲目中Got No Shorty與I Can Feel It 翻成 "愛情宅男"以及"對妳有fu",也太台式命名了... Beautiful Girls的歌詞 (from lyriczz.com)
JR! Sean Kingston! Chorus: You're way too beautiful girl That's why it'll never work You'll have me suicidal, suicidal When you say it's over Damn all these beautiful girls They only wanna do your dirt They'll have you suicidal, suicidal When they say it's over Verse 1: See it started at the park Used to chill at the dark Oh when you took my heart That's when we fell apart Coz we both thought That love lasts forever (lasts forever) They say we're too young To get ourselves sprung Oh we didn't care We made it very clear And they also said That we couldn't last together (last together) Refrain: See it's very define, girl One of a kind But you mush up my mind You walk to get declined Oh Lord... My baby is driving me crazy (Repeat Chorus) Verse 2: It was back in '99 Watchin' movies all the time Oh when I went away For doin' my first crime And I never thought That we was gonna see each other (see each other) And then I came out Mami moved me down South Oh I'm with my girl Who I thought was my world It came out to be That she wasn't the girl for me (girl for me) (Repeat Refrain and Chorus) Verse 3: Now we're fussin' And now we're fightin' Please tell me why I'm feelin' slightin' And I don't know How to make it better (make it better) You're datin' other guys You're tellin' me lies Oh I can't believe What I'm seein' with my eyes I'm losin' my mind And I don't think it's clever (think it's clever) You're way too beautiful girl That's why it'll never work You'll have me suicidal, suicidal, suicidal...
不過我還是比較喜歡Shaggy的Angel "Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel"

First Inning提到接下來要注意的球員,胡金龍是以(defensive stalwart with developing offensive potential,堅實的防守者,並有發展中的打擊潛力)來敘述。九月一日的比賽,胡金龍只有一個打數,但沒有游擊方面的擊球可供處理。今年他在AA跟AAA分別呈現了.329/.380/.508以及.318/.337/.505的打擊三圍(AVG/OBP/SLG)。 目前道奇的先發SS是Furcal,相同位置的除了胡還有Ramon Martinez,不過Ramon Martinez目前的打擊率只有.187,大聯盟跟AAA強度有極大不同,防守的壓力也是。而Furcal今年腳踝的傷並沒有完全好(才剛想說他今年盜壘少了許多,到現在每個月盜壘成功次數都是兩次,三次在跑,不過九月一日盜了三次,開始趕進度了嗎?),希望胡能夠好好把握機會,看剩餘的球季我們有沒有機會多多看到他亮相。托胡之福,希望台灣電視台除了洋基之外,能多播些不同的對戰-國聯組合。 報紙提到胡(Hu)的姓氏是MLB有史以來最短的,那最長的姓呢?今年由於勇士捕手MaCann受傷,叫上來頂一頂捕手位置,綽號Salty的Jarrod Saltalamacchia,(之後勇士跟遊騎兵的交易案中,接下了原本Teixeira的一壘位子)。 現役球員中,原本的最短紀錄是三個字母Loe(TEX),歷史上應該是還有很多人共享三個字的頭銜。ESPN page2也有一篇文章提出有關長姓名的球員,在Salty升上來之前,歷史上長姓名是由13個字母所保持住,(有在96年獲得國聯新人王的Todd Hollandsworth, 以及Tim Spooneybarger, William VanLandingham, Steve Wojciechowski, Ossee Schreckengost, and Lou Schiappacasse, John VanBenschoten, Kirk Dressendorfer, Gene DeMontreville, and Ken Raffensberger等人)國外的球迷更推測William VanLandingham的full name是歷屆球員最長的(William Joseph Van Landingham),這篇文章也有提到,Bryan K. Beban 指出史上最長應該是道奇94年第30輪選進的Eric Stuckenschneider(16個字母),不過他沒有升上大聯盟。我承認找這個好像有點無聊 ! 找胡消息的同時也看到Loaiza的圖片,今天是他第一場改披道奇制服的先發,將到小熊主場Wrigley Field對上大Z,希望他會有好表現囉。他去年加上今年兩場,一共在運動家主場Macfee球場共計10勝5敗 Era3.57 WHIP1.26。 (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)
