For as long as he's been floating around, it's hard to believe ol' Big Nose only turns 23 this week. He still has a chance to become an actual Major League pitcher, which is easy to forget when his name seldom comes up in conversation. Now if only he could find some more talent. Then we'd really have something special on our hands.

He sucked so hard last year. He is a true Mariner fifth starter.

He's a bit pricier, but his bat is still genuinely good.

Although I imagine he’ll collapse against lefties next year.

Big difference for Miguel Batista as well

Based on a few people I’ve looked at, BIS has a significantly stricter definition of what counts as a line drive.

I bet $48 million on a workhorse that finished dead-last. I’m so boned.

WHY LOSING IS A GOOD THING (other than he who must not be named)

Both the Sox and the Twins are 1.5 out of the WC lead behind Boston. Both are winning today while the Sox are getting crushed. If they both hold on and Boston loses, they’re only .5 games up in the WC. Which means The Impossible Dream (both Sox and Yanks out of playoffs) is one step closer to reality.

Think positive, my friends.

You can't root for the teams I do without having a remarkably resilient personality.

I usually let it roll off my back, but every now and then it just builds up.

Rays/Brewers would be ideal in terms of two teams I could actually be happy with winning.
