Yep. Same around here.

Yes. I have family in nearby Milan and that weekly paper still runs that stuff.

Great writer and am glad he is onto a better place and more money.

KC star desperately looking for someone to fill his big shoes, lets see what bum they bring in.

We seem to have made some kind of minor trade with the Cardinals. Not sure what we got, we sent them Jose Martinez (not the AAA guy, a rookie ball Jose Martinez)

edit: We got Jose Cruz. Probably our new backup catcher

Or our new LF:

:D

TONY cruz. Good D, no hit back up. Better than drew Butera.

Ew.

Sorry

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

If any of you would like to play the Ed Easley game, it might give you an idea of how Tony Cruz is thought of...

I mean, I'm guessing nobody truly likes their backup catcher, but seriously, Tony Cruz is the !@#$ing worst. It's not even his complete inability to hit, he's arguably the worst pure receiver I've ever seen. He's lazy behind the plate, won't set a decent target and has the body language of a pissed off teenager whenever things aren't going to script.

Tony Cruz !@#$ing SUCKS and if he's on your roster, you're a worse team for it.

No, he is not a good defensive catcher.

You're falling victim to Nichols Law of Catcher Defense: A catcher's defensive reputation is inversely proportional to their offensive abilities.

People presume Tony Cruz can play defense because he's on a major league roster and it sure as shit isn't because of his offense. They'd be wrong - he can't play D either. He's a garbage player who's on the roster only because he's one of Matheny's pet players.
