Is anyone as annoyed as I am that Bill's relievers have chalked up 6 wins for him thus far. A guy blowing a save to end up with the win is like having unprotected sex and ending up being the father of Anna Nicole's daughter/estate.
An early favorite for the "most optimism for a lost cause" award is The Pete Rose Legacy. It's kinda cute though - in a Charlie Brown Christmas kind of way. Ty Wiggington never had a bigger fan. Although, I think Wiggs may be a little Jealous now that Mike Lowell is stealing the spotlight. Unfortuantely, there is only so much love for waiver wire junkies to go around.
It's funny how year in and year out you inevitably see the same guys flip-flopping between the waiver wire and a roster spot. Like weed they're good in moderation, but not good to build a life around. Today Melvin Mora is my drug of choice. I remember going to a Red Sox/Orioles game in Camden yard back in y2k with the crowd chanting, "MELVIN, MORA... MELVIN, MORA" in a playful yet slightly mocking sort of way. Always liked the guy since then - don't know why. (On a side note, Ricky Henderson led off for the Sox that night, went 0-4 with about 4 strikeouts but did draw a walk and stole 2nd base. The next O's/Sox game I saw featured a Carlos Baerga brawl in fenway - still possibly the most memorable fenway moment of my life.)
I wonder if it ever occurred to Luke that drafting Mariano Rivera might now work when you fill your team with Red Sox players. Ceaser's Palace odds that Luke has tried mixing ammonia with bleach- 3:1
Trivia question of the week - who was the last DH/Left fielder tandem to play for the Red Sox in the post season NOT featuring Big Papi and/or Manny Ramirez. Bonus points for nicknames.

Laugh now kids. Only a matter of time before Ichiro, Sexson, and Santana break out of their patented first half slumps. I enjoyed Wiggy while he was hot, just like I'm enjoying Lowell, while you can slug it out with Mora/Chavez or whatever else you can pick from the waiver wire.
And seriously, can you take anyone seriously that is actually playing Borowski???
