PS - I guess it took about half a yr, but Albert Pujols has apparently figured out AL pitching!
Get some wins now. The Redbirds are comin' to town!!

Break Up The Team, If You Can Call It A Team ???
I'm a really pissed off Red Sox fan today. Pissed and embarrassed.

Red Sox skip out on Johnny Pesky’s funeral - BostonHerald.com

(And I was never pissed at Billy Buckner.)

Forget the shirtless guys. The news in Boston is that Adrian Gonzales and Josh Beckett both got dumped onto the waiver wire today, and were both claimed by the Dodgers.

Beckett has 5/10 status and veto the move, but he's gotta want out of Boston at this point. I'm more surprised about Gonzo. He hasn't been spectacular, but he seems to be productive. Scoring runs isn't the problem for the Sox.

Maybe he really did send that text to ownership. . .

I'm Not Chuck, But ...
Adrian Gonzalez: He will be missed. Good bat. Good glove. Good attitude.

Josh Beckett: Good riddance. I assume that he'll be taking his bloated contract, Popeye's chicken, Bud Light beer, golf clubs, bad back, and bowling ball, with him.

Carl Crawford: Never really got to know him. We will lose a lot of speed, but who knows which Crawford will return after Tommy John surgery. Maybe he'll come back hitting like Tommy John? At least it's nice to say, "Bye bye", to his contract.

Nick Punto: Backup infielders are a dime a dozen, plus we've got Pedro Ciriaco, who can play all the infield positions, and is learning to play the outfield.

$12 million in cash: Chump change. A bargain. After all, it was a fire sale.

A long day......
LCUBED came up from Richmond today bringing oppressive heat and the HOT hitting (again) Cards who strolled away with a 10-9 victory over my Nats (34K in attendance). 3 1/2 hrs. 24 Hits - including four HR's (no pitchers duel today). It was NOT boring!

Nice meeting you Leonard, we'll have to do it again sometime! Safe travels!

Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey gets his 20th win for the Mets, but to me, the pitching performance of the day belonged to Doug Fister of Detroit:

Detroit Tigers pitcher Doug Fister sets AL mark with 9 straight Ks - ESPN

9 straight Ks. Wow.
