I tried to clear it up on the geek site but I'm in time out. I was the 2nd Ramon. Someone else did the first one. I was trying to be funny. I'm going down to ST for 2 weeks if any of you guys wanna throw beer on me (in me). I'll be the pale guy. I wrote that stuff on your blog Ed.

To me they were just really embarassing, bad rookie plays... I don't think a dode that athletic is just going to fall over himself on routine fly balls once he gets his feet wet...

Plus, he gets killed for his poor play in Fenway, in front of the monster, which has eaten up veterans. The corner spots are much harder than center. The ball comes off the bat "differently" in the eyes of the fielder, and has more hook to it, depending on the corner being played and the side of the plate the hitter is on. He has the natural talent to play the outfield, he just needs to learn the corners. Heck, even Cameron, an acknowledged top tier CF, had trouble in right at times.

I haven't been able to locate his Bingo fielding locations in 2006, and overall in 2005. I believe however, he played the corners in Bingo before being called up for his ML debut after the Nady surgery. Dep,

I started it during last season. Or google my screen name. Hopefully, the geeks will let you back. I know some people had some issues last year where they were "banned" but not on purpose, some sorta IP issue. Maybe that's what happened to you, unless they flat out told you that you were. Ramon

If he means them and works to be the best player and teammate he can be, it will be fun to see him develop his fullest potential. He has players on his heels such as Gomez and Johnson, and hopefully that drives him as well. These are good steps for Milledge.

I was reading some of your blogs on the "Geek" and I realized how much I missed you all. Unfortunately, they have banned me from the site on my home computer and I cannot post my opinions in the US. I think that it had something to do with my comments offending too many people. Oh well...
