Hey kids, regret is insight that comes a day too late.
- WHO is Alex Rodriguez' mystery cousin who brought OTC medications in from the Dominican Republic and then injected Alex with an ouchie needle? Or really, who cares?
- DO you realize that the steroid Alex mentioned he took was called "boli", which is actually a roasted plantain in Nigeria? SOMEONE TELL ANDRUW JONES THAT PLANTAINS ARE STEROIDS!
- WHY didn't LoHud beat writer Peter Abraham get a question in when every other Yankees beat writer got one in? Is it possible that Yankees director of media relations Jason Zillo didn't see PeteAbe?
- IS the Griffey-to-Atlanta story just a bunch of hoo-hah? Junior is in full denial mode, maybe because he's waiting for the A-Rod mumbo-jumbo to die down a bit before his officialy press conference tomorrow.
- ARE 'hoo-hah' and 'mumbo-jumbo' in Webster's dictionary?
- DID you hear that Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez was extended through 2011, Nate McLouth agreed to a multi-year deal with the Pirates, or that the Padres signed former A's outfielder Emil Brown? Of course not, today was A-Rod Sad Presser day.
That's it for today, kids. The Alex Rodriguez press conference is over and we're putting it to bed. Tomorrow, Kris will be back in action and maybe I'll continue my series on position battles across the major leagues. I can promise you this: we won't mention steroids again until Thursday at the earliest! Unless, of course, we're going to take down the entire Patriots dynasty.

HOW fat and lazy is Brad Penny? Just ask Larry Bowa.

IF you haven't emailed me already about the Citizens Bank Heist Field Trip, lemme know.
Oh and Carrie Muskat is the first beat writer I could find to reference In-N-Out at Spring Training.
Not sure if this constitutes writing about In-N-Out.
Didn't Emil Brown lead the league in RBI and OPS last year? Or was that only through the first three weeks. I can't remember.
Also, any time I see the word "boli," I think of Roli Boli, the delicious mall food court chain of yesteryear. The only one near me was at the Rockaway Mall, and my parents would never drive me there. They shut it down before I got my license. Saddest story ever.
AJC still says Griffey to Atlanta is a done deal, will be announced tomorrow
Hey Rob, your email bounced for me. I'm in for one, though.
Preliminary field trip idea?: www.snuggiebarcrawl.com
Fucked that link up.

Fans of informative, well written baseball analysis must love it when I go away for a couple days and can't do the site.
Good job today, Rob and everyone.
Kris, I hate to see you leave but I love to watch you go.
Wait, what?

Kris, I hate to Guy Clark but I love to Guy Clark.

If you have time, Geoff Baker LIVE! is fascinating. Seriously.
