Okay, so my favorite pitching prospect giving up the run that would eventually decide the game is depressing. But it's only Spring Training, and it's not really a big deal. After all, they're still getting into the groove of things. (And don't worry, Rick - all is forgiven. We won't see the Marlins very much this season anyway - which is depressing ( Read more... )

I have to say I kind of am in love with this foursome of Justin, Jed, Jacoby, and Clay. Oh and Bowden too! :D They're just so made of fantastic. I thought you'd enjoy that article.

I actually printed it. Usually I just favorite things I like, but this warranted printing. Thanks so much for finding it - it got the crackfic ideas flowing!

I think those four are becoming my favorite people ever. The four of them and Bowden are just so great - and when they're together they're just so damn funny. (This is exactly why Santana had to go somewhere else!)

No problemo. Alex Speier is one of my favorite columnists out there. He did this article after Game 5 of the ALCS that I freaking adored in which he spun a tale of two unidentified players eating postgame

Two Sox players sat at a clubhouse table while eating their postgame meal, chatting with the feverish excitement normally reserved for fans. Their voices rose as they analyzed the dominance of Beckett, the electric stuff of closer Jonathan Papelbon, the lineup that thumped Indians ace C.C. Sabathia, and the prospect of having Sox pitcher Curt Schilling on the mound in Game 6 of the best-of-seven series.

And then the realization struck.

"Dude!" one was overheard saying to the other. "We're going to win this!"

There was a note of surprise in the claim, a sign that the switch had flipped. Before Game 5, a comeback was mathematically possible. Now, as the teams head back to Fenway Park, the scenario has become realistic.I just loved how he spun that tale especially with the line "chatting with the feverish excitement normally ( ... )

I love that "Dude, we're going to win this!" line. That just sounds like about half the people on that '07 roster. And Youk saying 'persona' is great, too.

But that writing is fantastic. "The relics of idiocy that linger?" Brilliant.
