You had me until you compared the World Ba...Pooh, <br /><br />You had me until you compared the World Baseball Classic to the Zapruder film. <br /><br />"...grainy YouTube clips..."<br /><br />C'mon...I'm not saying the WBC was the true World Series...but we did get to see the kid pitch. And the kid pitched well. <br /><br />I'm going to have to disagree with Kaiser about this off-season. In a year where Gil Meche became a penta-millionaire, I'm exceedingly happy that my guy has stayed on the sidelines. The Twinks may have lost in the first round last year...but they did MAKE the playoffs! (It seems to me a <a href="http://www.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060924&content_id=1680518&vkey=news_bos&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos">third place team</a> should probably make a larger effort to improve their team than a division winner)<br /><br />And by the way, we are returning the reigning AL's <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061116&content_id=1741588&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb">Cy Young</a><br /><br />, MVP (<a href="<a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061121&content_id=1744779&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb">paging Dr. Cox</a>)<br /><br />">Visible text</a><br /><br />, <a href="http://www.bat-girl.com/archives/001624.php">and sideburn champion</a><br /><br />. <br /><br />So it doesn't (always) bother me that Dr. Ryan decides to use the Butterfly Effect as his free-agency mantra. (When Tony Batista eats flapjacks in Japan, we feel the effects in Minnesota)<br /><br />What WILL bother me is when <a href="http://www.benmaller.com/archives/2006/february/10-twins_manager_injured_bowling.html">The Dude </a><br /><br />continues to try and play the underdog card even as we're defending our premature evacuation.Hopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550655405985722691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26514945.post-16427299490793946752006-12-18T09:44:00.000-08:002006-12-18T09:44:00.000-08:00Happy Birthday Geezemon!

Meanwhile, Hops and I just call each other each day and report on how many days are left til pitchers and catchers report. Not as exhilirating as you might think. Kind of like joining a polar bear club in Florida and jumping into the kidding pool in March when the water is just below room temperature (like beer in England).Kaiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367888053225351327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26514945.post-8220520983409393972006-12-16T03:53:00.000-08:002006-12-16T03:53:00.000-08:00A 60th pour moi, you say.

I heard that the success of Japanese ballers can be accurately projected from blood type, but alas, no info as to whether we got Ichiro hemo or pussey-toad juice---BIG DIFFERENCE! Also you mention Brendan the funny spec man, but, no a peep about Cesear--or whatever--Romero. He will certainly make us forget El Guappo. Of course, as you would kindly note, making me forget something is no great task.

Schilling, Beckett, Matsuzaka, Lester, Paplebon or do they still have Wakefield? <br /><br />Anyway, no matter who it winds up being it is certainly more formidable than Santana, Boof, uhhh, Garza, uhhhh, Silva, oh jeez, Scott Baker, oh dear God who else, Matt Guerrer? Les Straker? Has Frank Viola had any kids? Can Bert come from out of the booth? Jesus, is Ponson going to make the team?<br /><br />Scary times.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501283079627113130noreply@blogger.com
