    So it's baseball's version of The Force?

    Might want to keep an eye on the Sox-Orioles situation. Pedroia needs an MRI after that collision Friday night, and Machado just had his tower buzzed.

    It's the asshats attempt at being funny. Maybe he can add a Michael Bolton reference to really get you laughing hysterically.

    That Machado slide was hardly a collision and Pedroia handled it, and then the Barnes throw at the head, incredibly well. It seems like everyone else is blowing that slide out of proportion
     
  5. I'm afraid Cesar Hernandez is juicing.

    I'm afraid neither Neris or Benoit is the long-term answer at closer.

    I'm afraid Mackanin's really gonna keep Altherr on the bench when Saunders has been a flop.

    I'm afraid Maikel Franco is having his 2003 Pat Burrell year and people are gonna say dump him.

    Yet, 9-9 isn't bad for this bunch. I'll take it before the swoon starts.

    And according to WWE, RAW is WAR!

    Everyone knows RAW stands for rules as written - it's when you play a board game with the published rules, and no house rules.

    Duh.

    The next hot sabrmetric stat will undoubtedly measure a pitcher's effectiveness: Standard Metric Average, Combined K's, Doubles, One-hoppers, Walks and Nubbers — SMACKDOWN, for short.

    Best hitter on what's hardly a Murderer's Row hasn't done squat, and they're still .500. Could be much, much worse for a team for which an 80 win season would be real progress.

    Phillies were 10-10 en route to 24-17 last season. Plenty of time for them to shit the bed.

    Oh, sure. But when a fan such as myself hopes at best for a middling season, a middling start isn't a bad thing at all.
