- WILL the universe collapse upon itself should Corey Patterson start in right field directly below Rob Iracane's feet when his Nationals limp into Yankee Stadium? As Rob said earlier, he's a better fit in center though Manny Acta may just start him at second base for kicks.
- COULD Cole Hamels suffer a similar fate to an infamous lanky lefty when he takes his turns against the Blue Jays? Cole's much better looking with more shine, body, and control to his hair.
- CAN Clayton Kershaw avoid walking Jack Cust twice in one at bat when he starts against the A's? If not, it will give FSN an early reason to show Kirk Gibson's home run. That's only if they opt against the split-screen loop discussed in their early-morning production meeting.
- PRECISELY how many bugs would have to eat their way out of your skin before you'd swear off tropical travel forever? I washed a bug down the drain in Thailand and it crawled back out. Canada's not so bad after all. (via Jezebel)
- IS there a chance Adam Wainwright and Justin Verlander will turn the Cards-Tigers tilt into a high-level womens softball game? I expect few runs but many exposed calves.
- IF Geoff Baker seriously thinks Griffey's willingness to tickle Ichiro is fueling the leadoff man's best season in years: is he the idiot or am I for taking the bait? King Felix tries to hand the Podpeople their lucky 13th straight interleague loss.
That'll about do it for today, kids. Let's all wish Kris a speedy return and excitedly wait for Interleague to be over for another year. Same WoW channel.

least shocking news of the day
excitedly wait for Interleague to be over for another year.
AMEN Brother Lloyd
No one in Beantown who knows their ass from a hole in the ground was really hoping for a meaningless shot at last year's WC Phillies
and hosting Florida at Fenway will surely rate a close second to My Super Ex-Girlfriend showing on FX
It's not all bad...
BoSox bullpen clearly is baseball’s best
Corey not taking batting practice but shagging flies in center. Not in starting lineup either but i'm praying someone trips on a drainage pipe.
Had delicious pork ribs for dinner. I then threw them up after reading that maggot-in-the-arm story. Go scratch, Drew Fairjagoff.
Rob just threw up his Yankee wiener after Hernandez's 3 run pop!
This just in: Ron Villone is still gainfully employed.
I was in the air when the the big news came down today about Kris.
Kris, I wish you the best and, like everyone else, I hope we see you back here sooner than later. Without getting all mushy, I want to say to all you guys here that reading and commenting on this blog has been a small but thoroughly enjoyable part of my (almost) daily routine. Great work, and thanks to everyone involved.
I still think we need to do that telethon for Kris; he's going to get tired of sardines and crackers at some point.
Can someone do me a favor and go to holytaco.com and tell me I am not seeing things on the front page?
Attn: Honeynut. Scott Rolen sends his regards.
Holy shit is that Darren?!?
