Today, it is an inexpensive, safe, family-friendly place to live. Home of Idaho State University, Pocatello was founded as a railroad town in the late 1800's. My home town: Pocatello Idaho Pocatello is a city of 50,000 nestled in Southeastern Idaho. My wife loves and respects me, and all of my children treat their father better than I treated mine. I come from a land where diverse opinions were silenced, so America's diversity of thought makes it a very special place for me. I am a religious conservative, but I don't believe that my views are absolute or absolutely right. She is more than special she is that which makes my life worth living. My wife Tracey and I have been happily married for 26 years. I am currently a junior at Idaho State University in Pocatello. I miss her so very much.Īfter 30 years in the business world, I have gone back to school to get my teaching degree.

Seems like you haven't figured it that it's supposed to help the team, not hurt it.Ĭlick on the player's photo to access his career stats and biographyġ) 1916-'25, '28-'32, '38-'47 - 2) 1926-'27ģ) 1968 - '71, and 2005 (home) - 4) 2005 (road)ĭ.C. Jim, if I were you, I'd stay away from the waiver wire. You traded Tomo Ohka for a guy no longer in the major leagues, and You waived Byung Young Kim, and he's starting for the Rockies. You waived Claudio Vargas, and he's starting for the Diamondbacks. What do you always like to say, Jim, something about "You can never have enough pitching?" Let's see, you waived Rasner, and he's starting for the Yankees. Pitching on Sunday against the Twins, Rasner pitched 6 strong innings, allowing just 1 run on 6 hits. In 58 innings for the Clippers, Rasner went 4-0, 2.76. He had some injuries this year, but it didn't effect his pitching. He was picked up and assigned to 'AAA' Columbus. Rasner, a 6'3" righty from Carson City, Nevada, was waived February 11th by the Nationals, just a couple of weeks before the start of spring training. What was it that Jim Bowden said when he lost Darrell Rasner to the Yankees through waivers last winter?

Rafael Furcal - count on outstanding range and another 30 throwing errors. Marcus Giles is a good fielder and should produce another 300-20-70 season Good but not what the Braves need from an infield corner position. Here is a breakdown:įranco is 46 - no way he can have another. But this year IS the year the string of 13 consecutive championships is broken. Castilla: gone - Maddux: gone - Sheffield: gone - Lopez: gone. Last year was to be 'the' year - the year that the house of Turner came crumbling down. Oh, I know, we've been hearing that for a half-dozen years now. The Braves wont win the NL East this year.
