Chum Bucket

The length of today's Chum Bucket will depend on how fast I can type.

In sports today: our Miami is playing Virginia Tech in college football on ESPN. College football is sometimes hard to guess, but this game has the potential of being a good contest. There is some soccer stuff going on, can you tell I'm not a fan? Nothing wrong with the sport, however, it never hit home with me. Of course, the fact that I sucked at it as a kid has nothing to do with my opinion. Also, I think, but not sure, hockey is taking place.

Maybe non-baseball sports don't float your boat and you want to talk about something else, go for it. Chum Bucket can handle anything.

What I learned today, I already knew, I can hit the keys really fast, but unfortunately, never the right ones. Typos are my speciality.

Have a Great Day!

Hockey

I went to a game last night. I really don’t get it. I have general idea of the rules and what not, but it’s unbearable to watch. Kind of like soccer, but harder to see.

Hockey's cool...

admittedly I don’t watch much of it anymore, but if you think it’s bad now, it was unbearable when they were still calling icing penalties.

Hockey

Hockey’s pretty cool, but I’m ideologically opposed to having hockey teams in places where the ambient outside air is never below 32 degrees F.

Now floridamarlins.com calls it a "major overhaul"

Sounds a lot like Fire Sale?

Kevin Gregg to the cubs for Jose Ceda

No Stranger to So. FL..

DAYTONA BEACH – Kangaroo Court has charged Jose Ceda $10 for his eating habits, which involve asking a young kid at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter to buy him ice cream.

Another choice quote:

Q: Did you play when you were a kid?

A: Yeah, I played third base, but I was really fat and lazy and then I told them I wanted to go to the mound. I wanted to pitch.

Gotta love that work ethic! Hopefully he’s got plenty of natural talent…. All sarcasm aside, looks like he does have some potential….

Yeah, but that one's okay.

I’m appreciative of Gregg’s great 2007, his veteran presence, and the good parts of his uneven 2008. But no way he’s worth $3 million (or whatever).

The first google hit on Jose Ceda produces this tantalizing nugget from February:

One of the most impressive pitchers has been hard-throwing right-hander Jose Ceda, acquired from San Diego in the 2006 Todd Walker trade, who finished 2007 with 23 1/3 straight hitless innings for Class A Peoria. He has caught Piniella’s eye but isn’t likely to catch much big-league service time this year. ‘’Three innings at AA is as high as he’s pitched,‘’ Piniella said. ’’That’s asking a heck of a lot.’’
