Rainstorms, broccoli and taxes
Everything that’s horrible is what I feel when we’re together
Duller than your books
when you’re near
it brings me pain, dear
and I feel so glum
just to know that you aren’t done

My life is rainstorms, broccoli and taxes
That’s how bad you’re pitching is
so come on, someone save me!

Everything that’s horrible is sure to come my way

Ichiro then reached on an infield single—barely though, as Ramon Vazquez barehanded the ball and nearly threw him out, When’s the last time that happened to ichiro on a ball up the third base line?

As the Red Sox, Marlins and Pirates discuss a possible three-way deal for Manny Ramirez, the sides also are discussing lefty reliever John Grabow’s moving from Pittsburgh to the Red Sox.

He seems decent. Better than he is at first.

I can’t find many metrics on him since it’s only like a quarter season worth, but I think Fielding Bible has him at roughly +5..
