Hey kids, fight tooth and nail but watch the hair
- WHEN Mike Hampton decided to go to the Mets team surgeon to get a shoulder operation, did anyone expect anything less than Hampton missing the entire 2010 season?
- ARE you excited that the 2010 MLB schedules came out today? At least the fans of the 20 teams with no playoff hopes have something to look forward to.
- GOT $65 and a friend? Head down to the Astor Center next month and check out Hot Doug's foie dogs.
- HOW will Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka perform in his first start since June? As if Boston's series with Anaheim wasn't huge enough, now they gotta deal with sending a dude with an 8.23 ERA to the mound.
- CAN the Giants keep their teeny Wild Card hopes alive? After a tidy start by Timmy last night, San Fran looks to Barry Zito to keep chipping away at Colorado.
FIN.

Say what you will about the Cards taking Smoltz and the Giants pitching Penny, the Red Sox are using a dude with a 57 ERA+ and who refuses to condition in a way that would actually make his arm stronger.
(Note: this bitterness mostly comes from me drafting Dice K in the fantasy league and sticking with him far too long.)
Yo Hampton, Ima let you finish, but Pavano had one of the best comebacks from injury of ALL TIME.
WILL Jarrod Washburn remember its the Tigers he is supposed to be pitching for and not the other team on the field?
Barry Zito operates on an ethereal plane of existence we cannot comprehend in our present state. It's like, the waves of the SF Bay are analogous to the waves in our brain, and we need to ride the ebb and flow without resisting in order to perform at our most Zen-like levels.

Goddamn, Hot Doug's is so good it'll make you slap your mama.
I love murals. There, I said it.
I would argue that because Dice-K is starting tonight this is the most important games of the stretch run for Boston, not that he is starting a game in an important series.
WILL people stop trying to pin Manny's "slump" on steroids and remember that he routinely takes time off from earth every year around now anyway?
WILL San Fran please win tonight so that there is a viable race to watch in the West come next week?

Good news UU and Rob, I'm glogging the Yankees tonight. Bad news: Halladay starts for the Jays.
WILL Guy Clark stop pimping Manny's slump?
Holy crap, Jorge Posada is a sub-standard human being.
"Hey kids, fight tooth and nail but watch the hair"
With that quote, I am now 100 percent convinced that Rob is a full-on witch. Also, Posada's fey elbow toss as he crossed in front of Carlson ranks right up there with A-rod's '04 glove slap on the list of "all-time fruit moves by a Yankee."
