Fernando gained the duel to him to Fields -- In spite of it, Aguilas lost the series with Deer

We need headline writers like that in the USA

boy, fernando's aged well hasn't he?

Speaking of Spanish-language baseball stuff ...

During my JFK-SFO flight on Sunday I came across the in-flight magazine for American intended for Mexico/South America flights, which contained a profile of Miguel Cabrera. Now, I admit that my Spanish is extremely weak, but the article was about 200 words of the most simplistic writing I've ever seen outside of a high school newspaper. The author spent a whole paragraph (there were no more than eight total, so that was significant) focused on the number 20 -- apparently Cabrera debuted on the 20th, when he was 20, or something like that.

All of the actual content was irrelevant, however, once I noticed that the huge photo with the caption "Miguel Cabrera in the World Series" was actually a shot of Juan Pierre.

That is all.

...Que?

Dusty Baker will be disappointed to see that Jason Dubois walked. Ain't no list for walkin'.

Francisco Campos was with the White Sox in spring training last year, pitching well enough in B games that some of the writers talked him up as a possibility to make the staff. Till he got his ass handed to him in some games against major leaguers.

That is a wonderful translation.

Fernando has fear? A thousand times no!

Donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey.

So it's all true!

In its relief Julio Caesar Parra for 1 entrance with 2 ponches, Jorge Flowers faced a batter for hit, a race. Hugo Castilian for an entrance, an unstopplable one.

The races.

I miss Rizzuto...

Other than anytime access to scads of porn, these on-line translators may be the best thing to come out of the whole PC/internet/World Wide Web thing.

Sometimes if I have nothing better to do, I'll copy and paste a paragraph out of whatever I am working on into a translator (I usually use Babelfish, which is equally as reliable as this Google one), translate it from English to Spanish, and then back to English again.

Hilarious! Hours of entetainment will likely ensue.

I ususally use Babelfish too, but it refused to translate this particular page for some reason.

Didn't GWB serve in Tim Johnson's platoon?

Not to be pedantic, but as someone who lives in the Mexicali Region (sob) and goes to some of their games ..they are the Aguilas

You're right, that was very pedantic.

¡Qué bueno!

Actually Eric, not to be a snide as you, but I think it is fair and right to call the team what they call themselves.

Heh, I remember--slightly--the Governor Walnuts article. Hours of entetainment ensued. =)

Eric's intro, English to Spanish to English:

Not to be pedantic, but as someone who lives in the Mexicali Region (sob) and goes to some of their games ..they are the Aguilas

I'm in the "Mexicali region" too, and everyone referes to them as the Aguilas, even in English. I was actually going to cover Fernando's last game, in Mexicali, but I couldn't get a press credential in time.

wow... that is good times with the translator.

I love the names of the Mexican League teams. Some are pretty basic, like "Eagles" (sorry - "Aguilas"), but "Deer?" Nice!

Langosteros (Lobstermen)
Tomateros (Tomatomen!)
Cañeros (Sugarcanemen!)
Algodoneros (Cottonmen!)

I think we need the Washington Legislatormen or the Portland Rivermen...

Lock the State!

Peoria already has Rivermen, but they play hockey.

I'm in the "Mexicali region" too

Do you mean in Baja California or in California, around Calexico or El Centro?

Then the Portland Beavermen?

I just looked up a map of the "Mexicali Region" and I can't believe there is a city in my home state of California called "Dixieland."

There is a Bonds Corner though! The MVP of border towns!

Do you mean in Baja California or in California, around Calexico or El Centro?

It's the latter for me. I don't know about Eric L.

And Hermosillo are the Orangemen, I believe. Though Syracuse probably makes that less entertaining than, say, the Tomatomen.

I really like a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley called Mexicali. I think it's on Ventura. Excellent margaritas.

I remember when an article translated Miguel Olivo as Miguel Olive Tree. Always thought that was an awesome nickname

I like the translation of Miguel Cabrera's name above.

Javy was something before the both which the return very are inferior. I knowing that am safe. Lock the state. In addition, in addition as for operation the large number whose at house del veintiuno is distant it leads directly. Try the fact that it maintains that under 23 for the place.

Tomateros (Tomatomen!)

I could so root for a team named the Tomatomen, though I'm torn between that and the Sugarcanemen. They're both infinitely better than all those new-agey WNBA type names like the Mystixxx or the Sparxxx or the Fyre.

Fernando es muy gordo.

No, Fernando es gordísimo.

I think I could translate that better.

Gracias, Matt. I haven't had a Spanish class in 30 years.

And I like Sosa's "new" last name. Perfect.

I think the Tomatomen are the Tomato Growers, but don't let me break up a Babel party...

Resolved: From now on, Hector Luna will solely be referred to as "Killer Moon."

Marijuana, Guillermo Florida Marlins (San Pedro de Macoris)

Guillermo is Spanish for Jeremy, right?

It's Spanish for William. Don't ask me how.
