Random Rumblings
• Speaking of BONDS, here is an update on my NL MVP standings (this time I added walks; I am a dumb ass). PUJOLS comprises 24.13% of the Cards total bases plus walks; Bonds 24.28% of the Giants in 131 fewer plate appearances. WICKED AWESOME.
• Relief - the Sox did not have to clinch in St. Pete. Weird things happened down at the Trop.
• Lucky LL, “the magic number is now eleven.”
• BK should throw some BP to simulate the A’s CHAD BRADFORD, another sidearm reliever. BK throws everyday anyway.
• In TROT we trust will get better.
• MO LITE (a.k.a. David Ortiz) OPS of 961 at 27. MO VAUGHN OPS at 27 was 984.
• SCOTT WILLIAMSON will pitch better and will be a difference maker. He can now focus on getting hitters out. Pitchers with over a 2 to 1 K/BB ratio while averaging a K per inning in their prime do not sport 6.63 ERAs for long.
• The TWINS will BEAT the YANKS in five if the rotation goes Santana, Radke, and Chicken Roaster.
• Five days until the Sox play another meaningful game. Well, I have five days to get my prescriptions filled. ;)
• Even if you are not into politics, which I find hard to understand since most of us pay taxes, watch the debates for the comedy of Rev. Al Sharpton. The man is hilarious! I am demanding Sharpton on The Daily Show. Come on, they live in the same city. It would be easy. Get it done folks.
• Howard Dean is a Red Sox fan? I think not. President Dean? Maybe. Jimmy Dean?
• Hardcore paseball analysis coming. Otherwise known as baseball numbers geek alert scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. I’ll have to reload the tape to my adding machine over the weekend.
