You can bet that tomorrow night, right after Vin says "Hi everybody and pleasant good evening to you wherever you may be," he'll give a thought and a prayer to Buzzy Bavasi.

Do all SABR members have his e-mail address...?

So, since it looks like we'll be doing Farm System Thoughts tonight, does anybody think it's time for the Dodgers to admit they made a mistake by having Baez skip a level? Will they continue to let him flail away at Great Lakes, or will they send him to extended spring training until Ogden's season starts?

DeJesus, on his actual 21st birthday, grounds out to lead off the 1st for the Suns.

Him? Is he funny or something?

The four and the recurring theme is New York:

Ed Barrow (Boston/New York Yankees)
Larry Macphail (Cin. Reds/Brooklyn/NYY)
Lee Macphail (New York Yankees/Baltimore Orioles)
Branch Rickey (St. Louie/Brookly/Pittsburgh)
George Weiss (New York Yankees)

Harry Wright, Clark Griffith, Al Spalding, Frank Selee, Frank Chance, Fred Clarke, Barney Dreyfuss, Cum Posey, J.L. Wilkinson, Effa Manley, Rickey, and Veeck are all in at least partly for the way they performed what today would be considered a General Manager's duties. But George Weiss is the only person in the Hall of Fame who was strictly a GM only.

I wonder if John Schuerholz will get in?

Drat!

Never mind that most summer dresses and halter tops that young girls wear show off more skin

Not in my house they won't.

Whenever Dodgers front-office personnel visit Jacksonville he tends to have them as guests on the air, so maybe we'll be hearing from Ned.

4-0 Tennessee.

Bout time. He's a dark horse to help the big team out of the bullpen as soon as this year, IMO. He's dominated everywhere he's been.

So he went from reliever to starter to reliever...

Stan from Tacoma

My condolences to his family and friends.

"He was like a father to me," said Don Zimmer , ... "From the time I was 19 years old ... all my life, really. I can't describe how much he meant to me."

I'd forgotten how he recanted on the infamous remarks on not re-signing Nolan Ryan:

After the durable Ryan notched his sixth no-hitter 11 years later, Bavasi sent him a message: "Nolan, some time ago I made it public that I made a mistake. You don't have to rub it in."

The Griddle also has an entry, with an exclusive quote:

I don't know whether they had a chance or not.

- Announcer Don Sutton makes buffalo simile for Kemp, which is noted by a couple commenters.
- D4P points out that Bob Timmermann would insist on "bison".
- Disabled List writes " "Bison" would be a killer nickname for Kemp. Bison Kemp works for me. I second that motion."

comments 108-129

But there is no more "bison" or "buffalo" usage the rest of that game. It isn't until the next game thread and a comment about 28 hours later that it resurfaces, and for the first time as "The Bison", with seven further usages in that thread, since Kemp only PRs in that game.

So much for looking forward to watching The Bison tonight.
