Cliff Pennington, Aaron Cunningham, and Clayton Mortensen. I can't tell if that's a baseball team or a meeting at the Elks Lodge.

Pennington, Cunningham, and Mortensen.

Possible a high-end law firm that holds its holiday party at a very exclusive golf club.

I don't get it...

How did Boston determine that Paul Byrd was a better option than Smoltz or Penny?

Say, fellas!

Why not see just what pitches the kid is throwing?

Ok,l I'm a little sleepy

So I don’t know if I’m right, but it doesn’t seem like RRS is pitching his best today. Am I on crack, or am I right?

Not throwing the ball over the plate

umpire has an interesting strike zone

He doesn't seem to be having a lot of trouble with Oakland

But he seems to be having more trouble than he should, given his recent performances…

Today's fun fact:

Mike Sweeney was on Saturday Night Live in 1997.

Ha!

No, he had an acting part opposite Helen Hunt. I do not know what or why.

Ichiro!!

Man, the guy is awesome. He can make it look so easy.
Countdown begins! 9 to go for 200.

Pennington made a nice play up the middle on his previous at bat

and it’s like Ichiro goes, Try to get this! And he shoots it through the hole.
Man, Ichiro rocks.

Haha!

You have a point. I was mainly talking about his pre-throwing facial ticks, but yeah; Dickey is the master.

I really liked him

I was probably in the minority, but I thought he was really cool. I would very much like to have him read a southern cookbook on tape.

I loved him

He was like the Mike Sweeney of last year’s bullpen. Only more fun in-game.

Fuck Anaheim.

Not enough hugging

But I get what you mean. I learned a lot about the knuckleball from him, which was cool. He was always willing to talk about it to the FSN crew, and whomever asked him. I love information about baseball, so he was nice to have around.
