   No if only animated Willie translates to animated bats everything should be great.

   That was the best I ever heard Willie.

   I want Willie to throw a chair or something.

   Something demonstrative. Next bad call, throw bats out onto the field and get ejected.

   Has Willie EVER been ejected?

    This isn’t enough to get the team going. It needs more. It needs something bigger and shocking.

    NFL investigators have met with a convicted steroids dealer, who has said he provided performance-enhancing drugs to professional football players, according to a newspaper report.

    David Jacobs pleaded guilty last year in federal court to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute anabolic steroids and was sentenced to probation on May 1. He has said he sold steroids and human growth hormone to NFL offensive lineman Matt Lehr and another NFL player. He also said the players he provided performance-enhancing drugs supplied them to other NFL players.

    The New York Times reported in Friday’s edition that Jacobs said NFL investigators visited him the day after he was sentenced.

    “They wanted to know what information I had and what other documentary evidence I could provide them with,” Jacobs told the Times. “I told them I was not going to talk specifics without my lawyer present. They wanted to know a list of players I dealt with and knew, and I told them I didn’t feel comfortable doing that.”

    NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed to the Times that the league’s investigators met with Jacobs and said future meetings were scheduled.

    Lehr’s attorney has denied his client ever sold steroids or HGH. He said the player hasn’t used banned substances since he was suspended for four games during the 2006 season while playing for Atlanta, and has passed NFL drug tests.

    I enjoy Willie’s interviews. I actually like him as a man. just not a manager.

    Dep, I read it already on Superherohype. He IS the voice of Batman. If I were to meet him in a furniture store, I’d know who he was by listening to his voice.

    The St. Louis Cardinals put struggling closer Jason Isringhausen, who has an 8.00 ERA and six blown saves, on the 15-day disabled list on Friday because of a cut on his pitching hand.

    The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported last weekend that Isringhausen hurt his right hand striking a television set in frustration in manager Tony La Russa’s office.

    Izzy still ain’t the brightest bulb after all these years.

    1 game does, though

35. Comment posted by Where have you gone John Olerud? on May 16, 2008 at 4:40 pm (#695614)

    Isn’t Isringhausen “stupidass” in German?

36. Comment posted by sheadenizen on May 16, 2008 at 4:40 pm (#695615)

    He got run a couple times last year.

    I don’t think getting ejected is a measure of how good or bad a manager is.
    Francesa even mentioned that Gil Hodges and Walt Alston never ever got ejected. I’d take either one of them as my manager.

37. Comment posted by Where have you gone John Olerud? on May 16, 2008 at 4:41 pm (#695616)

    1 game does, though

    Yes, if its the difference between the playoffs and elimination…like it was last year.

38. Comment posted by DoctorK16 on May 16, 2008 at 4:41 pm (#695617)

    I agree Shea. People in these parts like the manager to kick dirt and act like an ass. It doesn’t bother me that’s not Willie style.

39. Comment posted by Dep on May 16, 2008 at 4:42 pm (#695618)

    i have no problem with it either, i think its BS to the most part

    BUT, if players feel he doesnt have their back on the field cuz of stuff like that, then its a problem. who knows if they do.

40. Comment posted by Where have you gone John Olerud? on May 16, 2008 at 4:42 pm (#695620)

    Gil Hodges was the man. My dad was a Yankees fan and he loved Gil Hodges.

    Yes, if its the difference between the playoffs and elimination…like it was last year.

    so, by your logic, 1 interview could mean #### because it could inspire a team to win 1 game, which could be the difference b/w the playoffs and elimination.

    No, because I don’t put stock into radio interviews like you seem to do. That #### is to rile up fans like you into believing.

48. Comment posted by sarah on May 16, 2008 at 4:55 pm (#695627)

    Just a point of interest, I listened to some of Wagner’s spot with Michael Kay out of curiosity - and it sounds like he essentially called Wright the team captain.

    Not that it matters, but that’s the first time anyone has said that he is the guy rather than he could/should/would be the guy if he wasn’t young.

    the first baseball game i saw on tv was mets-braves @ shea. i became a fan of baseball that day and just liked the mets wayyyy more than the braves (even though they lost and it was 2002 ;))

65. Comment posted by Where have you gone John Olerud? on May 16, 2008 at 5:24 pm (#695644)

    Nice. I respect you rooted for the underdog. Is basbeball well respected in Germany and Austria.

    BTW, I visted Salzburg. I absolutely loved it there. Maybe the highlight of my trip to Europe.

66. Comment posted by grex in austria on May 16, 2008 at 5:27 pm (#695645)

    actually its not really respected. the main reason is that there arent many places to play, so its very tough for kids to play. here it goes like soccer, skiing, tennis, basketball,… and then baseball. actually football is getting more and more popular in the last few years.

    yeah salzburg is a very beautiful city, home of mozart and much more. glad to hear you liked it in austria. you went to vienna too?

67. Comment posted by Where have you gone John Olerud? on May 16, 2008 at 5:38 pm (#695647)

    Couldn’t go to Vienna. I lived in Stuttgart for a month and traveled around.

68. Comment posted by Where have you gone John Olerud? on May 16, 2008 at 5:42 pm (#695648)

    vienna and prague are both very beautiful cities. if you got the time and of course the money you should definitely visit them. especially prague while the prices are still as cheap as there are at this point…

71. Comment posted by Where have you gone John Olerud? on May 16, 2008 at 5:45 pm (#695651)

    I think its still higher than milledge’s OPS. LOL!

72. Comment posted by Where have you gone John Olerud? on May 16, 2008 at 5:49 pm (#695652)

    Yeah, I heard Prague was supercheap. I had the chance to visit but couldn’t make it in time.

    BTW, I was very impressed with what I saw from your country.

73. Comment posted by grex in austria on May 16, 2008 at 5:52 pm (#695653)

    ha thanks. i love it here too, although there was some crazy #### going on in the last few weeks.

    what did you actually do in stuttgart? study, work or vacation?

74. Comment posted by Where have you gone John Olerud? on May 16, 2008 at 5:54 pm (#695654)

    Vacationed in Stuttgart. I have a close childhood friend who lived there with his wife for a while. I visted the local nations and cities within Germany. I loved Heidelberg.

    What happened in Austria? Please do tell.

75. Comment posted by grex in austria on May 16, 2008 at 5:59 pm (#695655)

    the whole incest #### which took place about 10 minutes from where i live and i passed by that place so often that it still makes me sick. and on tuesday some idiot killed his whole family because he lost a few thousand euros in speculations. pretty weird #### that normally doesnt happen in years, happened in a small time frame.

    on the positive side, the european soccer championship starts in about 3 weeks…

    Omar was on SNY a few minutes ago and was feeding us the same fuqing kool-aid he fed us last year. Bottom line is he never sees the urgency in anything. He’s a salesman, and he’s not going to chit all over his own product. Even last September there was no urgency. He should have said what Hill-Billy said. That’s his job!
