El Guapo's Ghost Rambles on about the Red Sox

A FEW MORE NOTES…
before the first battle between baseball superpowers commences.

Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus is reporting that…

Things are looking very good for Trot Nixon. His extended stay in Miami hasn't set back his timetable. After a pair of successful batting practice sessions, Nixon is moving to the Red Sox's Ft. Myers rehab facility. He'll continue his extensive rehab program with Sox trainers, not just for the next weeks, but if he hopes to stay healthy, he'll have to make this part of his daily routine. Nixon could be back in Boston's lineup as early as May 1, but it's more likely that it will be a week to 10 days after that.

If Jack Cust is not claimed by Cleveland or Detroit, don’t be surprised to see Theo make a deal for the LH DH. The Dauber situation, resulting in an open slot for a position player on the 25-man, could lead to scoring Cust - a high OBP bat with power potential making the minimum.

I find it very interesting that MFY are wondering about A-Hole’s Fenway fan reception. It is great they are concerned about us rather than Manny, Schilling, Mo Light and rest of their opponents.

But Mike Mussina disagreed, telling the New York Post, "He's going to be treated like a former Red Sox and he was never even in uniform for 15 minutes. He's going to be treated like a deserter."

"There's years of hatred, that doesn't just disappear," Jeter said, adding, "regardless of how they feel about me, there's enough to go around."

I want to hear:
"A-HOLE-------A-HOLE-------A-HOLE------HAS NO ROD"

I’m heading to Boston tomorrow for the day game hanging out through Tuesday. I’ll also be attending the Marathon Monday game. I will probably be the only one with an El Guapo t-shirt on his/her back. It is highly unlikely that I’ll be posting anything until the end of next week…well nothing that makes any sense…12 or 16 once curls are on the agenda along with taking in a great experience. IT'S ON!
