Bryant Eyes 2015 With Chip On Shoulder - RealGM Wiretap Despite a highly successful season adidas ultra boost homme noir , Kris Bryant is at home while the season winds down for the Chicago Cubs. "I think now more than ever, I'm realizing this game is a business, and all I can do is go out there and play as hard as I can and make it really hard on the guys in charge," Bryant said. "I think I did that this year. If I'm taking that mindset, then I'm not really going to be sitting there with my head down at the end of the year." Service time issues and 40-man roster spots are helping prevent the top prospect in baseball from playing in the Major Leagues. The Cubs called up seven less-heralded players on Tuesday. "It's kind of funny, all the rules," said Bryant, who led the minor leagues with 43 home runs this season. "Coming into professional baseball, I had no clue. I didn't pay any attention to it in college, either. At the end of my first season, I kind of know the lingo about all this stuff. I guess the system works in some ways, and in some ways there are some flaws. I can't focus on that. I've always been high on avoiding the distractions." He proved a lot this year between Double-A and Triple-A adidas tubular homme noir , putting up 110 RBIs, a .325 batting average and a .438 on-base percentage. "Next year, I'm really looking forward to coming out with a little chip on my shoulder," Bryant said. "I'm going to go out there looking to prove something." Jose Bautista Rougned Odor Was Looking For A Fight - RealGM Wiretap Having served his one-game suspension, Jose Bautista is still weighing in on this month's on-field dust up with Rougned Odor. Odor punched Bautista after the Toronto Blue Jays outfielder, who had reached base after being hit by a pitch from Matt Bush, slid at Odor's legs in the midst of a double play on May 15. Players from both teams rushed the field, and Odor shoved Bautista and then landed the punch. "Was [Odor] out to play baseball that day? Maybe partly," Bautista told Sports Illustrated. "Part of me also thinks that he was looking for a fight." Bautista, who admitted that his slide was late, says he didn't intend to hurt Odor. "I could have hit him," he said. "I could have hurt him. I chose not to. My cleats were down. I slid through the bag. Was it late? Yes adidas stan smith homme noir , a hundred percent. But what can I do after they hit me? Should I ask my manager to let me pitch, which he is never going to let me do? Like, what am I supposed to do? Just sit there and take it?" Thumb Surgery Possible For Ryan Braun - RealGM Wiretap Ryan Braun is experiencing problems with his right thumb once again and surgery is a real possibility. The thumb started bothering Braun last May and he admitted Friday that it is numb due to a nerve issue, which has led to blisters because he can't tell how hard he's gripping the bat. While surgery is a possibility, there is no guarantee it will work, which is one reason why Braun and the Milwaukee Brewers are holding off. Braun is hitting .091.167.091 through 12 plate appearances this season. irmingham respectively. Where London boomed in the seventies and eighties Birmingham struggled, its industrial heart out-competed by a global economy. Old factories lay dormant and the property market stagnated ... until lofts became fashionable and London became just too expensive for many individuals and businesses. In comparison Warsaw boomed from the late nineties onwards and its property prices soared. Banks, businesses, law firms and consultancies are all making this city their epicentre for central European operations. Since the millennium the airport has been one non-stop building site as it tries to keep up with rising demand. In the meantime Lodz went into recession and saw large scale decline to its identity as a manufacturing base. But, like Birmingham, things have started to change. Warsaw is becoming expensive and Lodz is only 100 kilometres away yet its real estate is half the price of the capital. And like Birmingham transforming 19th century industrial buildings has become viable. A derelict brewery has become a shopping centre, a disused cotton factory converted into apartments. Perhaps one of the reasons for the similarity between Lodz and Birmingham is down to the people. Both are proud of their home town adidas stan smith femme noir , both are keen to show visitors "the real city", both have lived through hard times in living memory. Lodz is still cheap, but probably not for much longer. The next pair has to be Krakow and Katowice, uncanny in their relation with Edinburgh and Glasgow. Edinburgh has always been easy for tourists to understand, the architecture instantly likeable and its well-to-do image centuries old. Glasgow on the other hand was the ugly sister. A powerhouse of the industrial revolution with the pollution and poverty that went with it. Today Glasgow has more art galleries and museums per square mile than any other metropolis in Britain. It has been European City of Culture and European City of Architecture. Its music and theatre scene is breathtaking. While Edinburgh is historic, Glasgow is diverse. Krakow, like Edinburgh, is instantly tourist friendly with its vast old town. It is understandable why real estate prices catapulted here. According to the Royal Society of Chartered Surveyors they actually rose faster in Krakow than any other European city between 2005 and 2006. Today there are plenty of trendy bars and shops but, to steal a Scottish phrase, "all different but the same". Krakow is a historical city and while this has brought much wealth it could now become a restraint. All too often there is a mentality in the air that anything new should fit the old. There is a quiet resting on laurels, Why do you need to try when your town centre is stunning? So true for Krakow and so tr. |
