Well!

I just saw Julio Lugo have an amazing at-bat against Jose Reyes. He has turned into an offensive force, so I have to take back some of what I said about him. I stil think he is a below-average defensive player. Pedroia followed with a swinging strike-out. Pedroia was really upset. Then Youk struck out. Youk was really upset. Ortiz worked a walk. Manny swings at strike three over his head. So Coco and Lugo set the table and the big boys don't come to dinner.

Meanwhile the Yankees couldn't score a run for 17 innings. Roger Clemens missed his start because of the obligation of a pitcher to "protect" his teammates. He plunked Alex Rios in the back knowing full well he'd be suspended. The yanks lost his scheduled start 12-0. Was it worth it? Furthermore, the whole tit-for-tat thing goes back to ARod's stunt against the Blue Jays when he said something that caused the easily distracted BJ third baseman to miss the fly ball. Was that worth it? John Flaherty said he'd never seen an entire team angry at another player the way the BJs were angry at Arod.

And Mariano blew it two nights in a row.

Is the Big Mo shifting?

Jose Reyes pitches now? In the American League? Amazing.

He and his brother, AL, were inspired by the story of Rick Ankiel and decided to switch places, becoming the first brothers in history to be both position players and pitchers in OPPOSITE leagues AT THE SAME TIME. They were expecting the record to stand for a long time. But...

The brothers Manny, Hanley(22 HR, .343 avg.), and Horacio (Mrs. Ramirez had always wanted a Horacio) are trying to work something out with one of them rotating to the umpire position but they have to keep putting the plan on hold as they find it too confusing.

Um, Manny and Horacio are full brothers, but hanley is a half-brother. That's why the Red Schlocks had to trade Hanley. The half-brothers didn't get along.

You should keep up witht his stuff better, "Dad". Thogh Caleb's worse.

Clay Buchholz looks pretty good. Let's trade him.

Anonynous-that sounds like something you made up.
