    ... and I will love him and pet him and squeeze him and call him George.

    Great post, Allan!

    Apparently the Braves won't use "the screaming savage" on their BP hats. At least there's some sense.

    This is good news, though the fact that they even considered using it is distressing.

    Allan, I know that you didn't do this for me, but somehow I hear you muttering, "Maybe now she won't ask, WHO'S THAT GUY?" Don't count on it. Unless I print this out and hang it on my laptop every time I watch a Sox game, I will still be wondering what happened to so-and-so and who the hell that new guy is out in the field or up at bat.

    Thanks!

    I was about to write:

    Note to Amy: CLIP AND SAVE.

    Then I saw she already thought of it!

    Amy, print the post, cut out the info, and tape it to your laptop!

    The Braves conceding to common sense is a good thing.

    Padilla surprises me.

    It surprises you he's not here? It's surprises me a little he got a team to hire him. Well, not really, but...in Japan? Not my idea of a last refuge for the rage-challenged pitcher.

    I have always been amazed at the amount of hamstring injuries in basball. It just never seems to happen in other sports.

    Daisuke Matsuzaka - Cleveland (signed minor league contract)

    I'm very surprised to see that Daisuke and Francona are going to be teamed up again. Wasn't Francona out of patience years ago?
