1)I also saw that Nomar is due back to the Cubs on Friday. I had thought that he was going to be out for the season. But now, he'll be around to bat .230 for you the rest of the way.

2) And Kerry Wood is also rejoining the team on Friday. Is he going right back into the rotation, or doing a bullpen stint, a la Schilling?

3) And mick, what the heck set Pudge off last night? That was quite a show he put on after getting tossed.

1) Lah me, how Boston's favorite sons seem to become villians right after they leave town. Poor Nomar. Poor, poor Nomar. Now he's just another broken-down former steroid monster. One of many.

2) Kerry Wood will be going back on the DL after about 20 pitches into his first warm-up. Guaranteed. Can't change history.

3) Well, Pudge can't blame 'roid rage this time. No, the 35 pounds he lost since last year has got nuthin' to do with steroids and the new testing procedures. Nope, nuthin'. Nada. The lad has gone from Pudge to PeeWee.

- And whatever happened to Manny Ramirez?
