i just checked the Louisville Bats schedule (Reds AAA) looking to see when Syracuse (Nats AAA) come to town to get a look at Strasburg...they have 4 games @ Syracuse second week of June...Chapman vs. Strasburg
Strasburg will definitely be in DC by then. i'm hoping/praying to witness Strasburg when Syracuse comes to Buffalo May 31-June 3, and that's cutting it close.

It's easy to forget just how quickly Stephen Strasburghttp://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/05/waiting-for-stephen-strasburg.html has risen through the minor leagues. This time last year, he hadn't even been drafted; one record setting contract and seven minor league appearances later, it's safe to say he's ready for the major leagues.
Before tonight's start, he had combined for a 1.29 ERA with 10.6 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 across the upper minors. Tonight he outdid himself, no-hitting the Norfolk Tides through six innings. Strasburg added seven strikeouts and walked one batter, just the third baserunner he has allowed in 12 Triple A innings.
So when can Nationals fans expect Strasburg to deliver his first major league pitch? Nationals president Stan Kasten told MLB.com's Bill Ladson that it will be "soon," without being any more specific. A glance at the Syracuse Chiefs' schedule shows that Strasburg will likely start on the 17th, the 22nd and the 27th of May.
That would line Strasburg up for a June 1st start. If the Nationals keep him in the minors for three more May starts, they can call him to the majors on June 1st. That would almost certainly be late enough to prevent Strasburg from becoming a Super Two player and earning millions more through arbitration. However, calling Strasburg up in May would give him a chance at Super Two status.
In theory, the Nationals could make money by calling their phenom up. As USA Today's Mel Antonen reported this week, attendance figures and merchandise sales have spiked wherever Strasburg has pitched. This could happen in Washington, too, but the Nationals have just five home dates remaining in May, and they would only be able to start Strasburg once on their upcoming homestand.
It seems much more likely that the Nationals will keep Strasburg in the minors for three more starts, save themselves a few million and call on the phenom to face the Astros in Houston June 1st.

Clippard and Pudge look great now, but just wait until July. They're not keeping this up, and Bruney is a certified dish towel, he'll blow at least another 3 games.

RBI is an indication of how good your teammates are getting on base it's not an individual measure of anything.
Ironically enough Robinson Cano's 2009 season is one of the most UNclutch seasons since they been keeping advanced clutch stats.
Haren would be great in Citi Field, too bad he'll never get traded. Arizona's staff is weak enough as it is, although they have a couple of pretty decent prospects.
You act as if firing Hillman will prevent the Royals from infinite and endless suckageOriginally Posted by taimaishu123
A facetious remark on the Brooklyn Cyclones’ blog,caused the blogosphere to spread a rumor that newly-released EricByrnes, formerly of the Seattle Mariners, would spend this season inthe front office of the Cyclones, as a media relations assistant,however, it was just a joke.
“Eric Byrnes is not actually volunteering with the Cyclones and sharingan office with me for no pay so that we can plug him in as a ringer onour office softball team. Some people took the joke a little tooliterally,
dont know whats so funny. it will help a LOT. Hillman did not know how to manage a bullpen, he did not know what situational hitting is and he has some sort of fetish with bunting. he was a horrible manager. he cost us a good 10 games this year from his micromanaging.Originally Posted by JPZx

In Salty's last game, Tuesday night at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark, 12of his throws back to the pitcher landed either short of the mound orin center field. He had five errant throws in the first inning alone.
Speaking of the Rangers, 25 runs through the first four innings of their game with Toronto last night.
I can't imagine there have been many times in baseball history when three different pitchers gave up 7+ runs in the same game.
