Kirby, not so fast

The shovel, Tom Witosky, reports that a Polk County judge has told the Iowa Chops not so fast my friend.

The judge ordered Bob and Kirby Schlegel not to relocate the AHl franchise from Des Moines.

“The issues are clear,” O’Meara said. “By virtue of the non-relocation agreement that the hockey team has with Polk County, they shouldn’t be allowed to relocate the team. We believe that there are events going to happen over the next week that could allow that to happen without an injunction.”

Bernabe says Ramirez Rehab: “Iffy”

Iowa Cubs GM Sam Bernabe tells 62andeven that Cubs 3rd baseman Aramis Ramirez’ expected rehab stint with the I Cubs this week is “iffy”.
Bernabe, reached at a meeting in Las Vegas, said the fact that the ICubs are in New Orleans this weekend doesn’t help matters.

“He (Ramirez) won’t be with us on the road”, said Bernabe.

John Feinstein to have bypass surgery

Jeff Jorgensen — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:25:48 +0000

Friend John Feinstein is set to have bypass surgery next week. Best wishes from everyone at 62andeven.com

From Feinstein’s blog:

The angiogram showed “four to six,” blockages in my heart—one of them 100 percent. The doctor who did it said there was really no option other than bypass. I asked how could that be when I had not had a heart attack or even chest pains and my cholesterol level was 162.

He smiled. “First, you’ve been lucky,” he said. “Second, your heart is strong thanks to your swimming. It’s your arteries that are screwed up.”

Flip, flop…wow

Craig Robinson has put together some of the coolest baseball charts and graphics you’ll ever lay your eyes on.

Here is a brief taste:

More about Craig:

Essentially, this site is what I’d have been doing when I was 12 years old had the Internet and Photoshop been available to me in the eighties. As well as the infographics there are a few other bits and bobs; like small pixiliated portraits of some baseball players. They are filleted from a bigger collection of Minipops (that’s what I call them) which is one of the biggest parts of my main web site, Flip Flop Flyin’ (thus the name of this site). There’s also some photos from some of the stadiums I’ve visited, and a few drawings.
