Still Little Interest In Jeremy Bonderman

post from TigerBlog on 12 February 2011 09:41:48 PM. © TigerBlog

It looks like Jeremy Bonderman’s prospects for a major league deal are close to zero. Indians beat writer Paul Hoynes tweeted that the Indians are still interested in Bonderman, but only with a minor league deal. That’s not too surprising considering Bonderman’s last few years but I thought he might be able to pull off [...]

Ernie Tyler

post from Oriole Post - Baltimore Orioles Analysis & News; The World of Baseball and Beyond on 12 February 2011 08:01:48 PM. © Oriole Post - Baltimore Orioles Analysis & News; The World of Baseball and Beyond

Really, really sad news out of the area this morning concerning a long time member of the organization...

From the Baltimore Sun: Ernie Tyler, the longtime Orioles umpires attendant known for his tireless work ethic and sly sense of humor, died late last night, a team official confirmed. Tyler was 86. A local legend, Tyler once worked 3,819 consecutive home games at Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards, from Opening Day 1960 to July 27, 2007. His streak, which included 3,769 consecutive regular-season games, 40 post-season games and nine exhibitions, ended when he accepted an invitation from Cal Ripken Jr. to attend Ripken's Hall of Fame induction in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Although Ernie Tyler never suited up in a Oriole uniform, for a lot of fans - including myself - he was as much part of the organization as anyone could be. I spoke to Mr. Tyler to several times over the years, saying "hello, how's it going?" or "bye", so I didn't know him at all; however, it will be very surreal not seeing him at Camden Yards anymore.

Braves Tweeting The Road To Pitchers And Catchers

The age of Twitter is starting to become a pretty interesting one. Major League players with Twitter accounts can give fans a glimpse into their lives as baseball players. This is currently taking shape as Atlanta Braves pitchers Peter Moylan and Kris Medlen make the road trip to spring training. On their drive from Atlanta to Orlando, in separate cars, they are tweeting back and forth. Hopefully they're doing this safely while driving. The result is pretty entertaining, from two of the funniest guys on the team.

@kris_medlen: On the road! See you in o-town! I don't know why I just called it that... But whatever.
@PeterMoylan: Road trip with @kris_medlen 300 miles to go
@kris_medlen: I'm pretty sure I just saw a couple that I saw on "my big redneck wedding" on cmt last night. Where am I?? Hagaha
@kris_medlen: I've got 10 hours worth of 5 hour energy next to me..... Can you overdose??
@PeterMoylan: Just crossed FL state line
@kris_medlen: Is it just as dangerous and illegal to tweet and drive as it is to text and drive??
@PeterMoylan: yes kris it is
@PeterMoylan: I'm towing @kris_medlen
@kris_medlen: @Petermoylan is in such good shape this spring that we are running to Orlando! The fat kid lost 25 pounds this offseason!!
@PeterMoylan: Fat kid hahahaha. saw a billboard for club riske. @kris_medlen just did a u turn
@kris_medlen: Coming through Gainesville!! Get out the way!

And the adventure continues...

Follow both Kris and Peter on Twitter.
