It would be funny to me if Ichiro spent the game shouting smalltalk at Jarrod Washburn from right field.

Oh sweet

after all this morning’s news I needed a laugh and look – Griffey’s playing left behind a flyball lefty. This should be good for a chuckle.

Felix has flumped, Bedard is broken, Washburn fucks children, Silva is fat and RRS is Australian.

Well...

Not worried about Felix. Not really worried about Bedard. Agreed on Wash and Silva being useless. But I’m concerned that RRS is off about 3-4 mph from last year. perhaps he’s just building up his strength. Hopefully…

Has it really been down?

Hes always been around 87 when starting.

That's what I thought.

Out of the bullpen he was closer to 90-91, but starting he’s closer to 87-88.

Morrow is obviously to foolish to be a starter

We would have more than willing to give him tiny injections through out the game to keep him starting. If a man can’t recognize help then I want him no where near my team.

Low blood sugar + more injections = coMorrowtose

Besides, why can't they just do what I do before softball games and just take less insulin?

That’s what I do, and if it’s still high after the game, I just take more; if I crash midway through, I just chug a regular Coke. He could just bullshit a hand injury or something while he’s waiting for the coke to kick in.

Honestly

they said he felt the following:

1. low blood sugar for his next couple of starts after the 1 hit shut out
2. more comfortable in the pen.
3. enjoyed being the man when Putz was out.

11 months ago:
Johjima, who was eligible for free agency at the end of this season, is now signed through 2011. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

“As an organization, we view quality Major League catching as a scarce commodity,” Bavasi said. “This extension allows us to feel very comfortable with our catching depth for the foreseeable future.”

ugh, you guys are reminding me of this

Typical Red Sox smoke and mirrors “see, we fooled you” bullshit. They really treat fans like they are children.

When they shred up the shoulder of Papelbon, one of the best young arms in the game, because Theo wouldn’t trade Hansen, Delcarmen and the other wonder prospects for a legit closer maybe they’ll learn that trading a couple of emerging prospects isn’t such a terrible idea.

Papelbon deserves to be in the rotation. The guy has lights out stuff and it’s better for his shoulder (which has already had him shut down in his first season) to have the rest.

And don’t give me the Sox are going to trade for a closer at the break and put Papelbon back in the rotation. If his numbers are even close to last seasons all of Red Sox nation would castrate Theo if he replaced Paps with Linebrink or Lidge.
