IT Was Fun

watching the Boston Boomer get rocked for the second straight time in his comeback. The boys on Baseball Tonight blamed his lack of rehab starts. How about his difficulty in getting his pitching arm past the prodigous garbage receptacle he calls a gut. I mean he's cartoon character fat at this point. He's as fat as the Boston rotation is thin.

Speaking of Baseball Tonight, its"analysts," like Steve Phillips have switiched to predicting the Yankees will win the AL East. I think that's called the kiss of death. But really they are just so reactive, always finding structural reasons why the hot team of the day will be able to extend its success into the future. Kruk is the only one who takes a position, based to be sure on irrational predisposition and the vagaries of his own enormous diet, and then sticks with it despite its manifest stupidity. You have to respect his commitment to crapulence.
