KANSAS CITY — Texas general manager Jon Daniels insists he didn’t have to restrain Milton Bradley when he ran upstairs on Wednesday night.

“Look at this guy,” Daniels said, pointing to Bradley. “How could a 170-pound guy take him?”

Bradley smiled but didn’t laugh. On the morning after Bradley went upstairs and tried to confront Royals TV broadcaster Ryan Lefebvre for making comments about him on the air, everyone in the clubhouse was in a light mood, including Bradley.

Yes! More Space Invaders!!To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the famous shump precursor, Taito has been going hog wild with bizarre Space Invaders products, which is pretty awesome. The latest in the slew of bad merchandising that I still plan on buying are these headphones featuring the bitty bad guys. No details on who actually made the guts of these $AU 21.16 cans so I’m thinking they’re absolute crap… and yet I still want them when Domains Sales they hit in October.

Power pull the plug on Legends' feeble first half

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Maybe it was destiny.

The off-field entertainment Saturday at Applebee’s Park featured the talented drum corps known as The Bucket Boys.

On the field, the Lexington Legends officially kicked the bucket. Their fourth consecutive loss clinched a first-half last-place finish in the Northern Division of the South Atlantic League.

The West Virginia Power, second to last in the division, rode the arm of left-hander Chris Cody to a 4-2 victory. The Legends dropped to 19-42 overall, 9-24 at home.

”His location was excellent,“ Legends Manager Gregg Langbehn said. ”He keeps you off balance. We just didn’t make very good adjustments.“

Cody (2-0) blanked the Legends on two hits over seven innings only last Monday.

Saturday, he worked eight innings before giving way to Rob Bryson. Cody gave up two runs, one earned, on four hits. He also struck out seven and did not issue a walk.

”I was lucky — everything was working except for my fourth pitch, my cutter,“ said Cody, who came to the Brewers system last year from the Tigers in a trade for pitcher Jose Capellan. ”But it turned out I didn’t really need it very much.“

The top five batters in the Lexington order went a combined 1-for-16. The Legends didn’t leave a man on base until the ninth inning.

”We were aware of that,“ Langbehn said. ”We didn’t do anything. We never threatened.“

Jonathan Lucroy’s two-run homer in the first inning gave West Virginia a lead it would never lose.

After Matt Cline looped a one-out single to short center, Lucroy jumped on a 1-2 offering by Legends right-hander Jack Leonhardt (2-5). He connected for a towering homer that hit the Ford sign beyond the left-field bleachers, his ninth blast of the season.

Craig Corrado led off the bottom of the inning with an infield single. He moved to second on St George Credit Cards Matt Cusick’s sacrifice. Corrado then stole …continue reading

Brewers follow bloodlines

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Source: TheNewsTribune.com (Original Article)

When the Brewers selected prep center fielder Cutter Dykstra in the second round of the June draft Thursday, it continued a trend of tabbing sons of former big leaguers. Dykstra’s dad is Lenny Dykstra, the one-time spark plug for the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.

The Brewers began the season with two sons of former players on their roster, Prince Fielder (father Cecil) and Tony Gwynn Jr. (father Tony). Gwynn since has been dispatched to Triple-A Nashville.

Another second-generation player, reliever Tim Dillard (father Steve), was summoned from Nashville a few weeks ago. Outfielder Michael Brantley (father Mickey, a former Seattle Mariners outfielder), playing for the Brewers’ Class AA Huntsville affiliate, is another son of an ex-major-leaguer.

In the 15th round of the 2007 draft, the Brewers selected Joey Paciorek of Blaine, whose father, Jim, played for Milwaukee in the late 1980s, and Tom, his uncle, was a Mariner from 1978-81.

Cutter Dykstra — got to love a player named after a “cut” fastball — switched from the middle infield to center field, his dad’s position, this year at California’s Westlake High School. He batted .473 with 44 runs scored in 29 games and showed some pop at the plate (14 extra-base hits), posting a 1.320 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage).

Dykstra has a scholarship offer to attend UCLA, but the Brewers expect him to sign and begin his pro career.

“If it was me picking, I’d take him with the first pick in the first round,” Westlake coach Zach Miller told the Ventura County Star.

“There will be a lot of people who think he’s being selected just because of his father, but they would be mistaken. This kid works at baseball, seven days a week, and he’s going to become a fine major-leaguer. He hits, MasterCard Credit Card he fields, he has the ability to do it all.”
