For any of you newbs that didn’t get it, “The Media Sucks” was tongue in cheek. I assumed that went without saying, but obviously that was a mistaken assumption. While I certainly have issues with some, there are some pretty cool people in the sports media. Like any profession there are bad eggs but there [...]

Gotcha!
Seriously though. I had some discussions over the past week or two about my contract situation and figured the best way to explain it clearly would be here.
So I think the best way to do that is explain exactly how everything happened and where it stands today.

After a long day of travel to Philly and back (flight left at 6:30am and we returned around 4PM) I felt good on the mound. I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to Mr Henry who flew us up and back on his plane today, something he did not have to do but did [...]

Stayed to watch Daisuke today, regardless of the line he gets more impressive the more you are around him. Will put something together at some point soon.
More Q&A.
Q-How do players feel about contraction?
A-Huh? How would someone feel about a potential reduction in the number of jobs available? I think the answer is what you’d think [...]

Some more questions answered, and there were some good ones too. Easiest way for me to do this is to go down the list and cull what I think I can answer and do it in batches like this.
As I said earlier, once we move closer to the season this probably won’t happen as much [...]

If I had a tool that would allow me to answer questions as they are approved to post I think it would be easier, but barring that I think we’ll give this a shot.
I ran through one section of posts, grabbing quick bits of some questions and will shoot to answer them here. Let me [...]

Any game Joe Mauer plays in can’t be labeled a “B” game on any planet.
Today was start #3 of the spring and start #3 against the Twins. Needless to say the feedback their lineup would give me was going to be useful.
Perk #1 was feeling even better than I did before the last game here, [...]

Philadelphia Phillies coach John Vukovich passed away this morning around 10am. I heard the news from a friend a few minutes after I finished my outing in Ft Myers. John Vukovich was the closest thing I had to a father since my dad passed away 19 years ago. I want to take a moment to [...]

Spring has sprung again, and the Red Sox are giving a World Series run another shot. Theo made some potentially huge moves this past winter.
More friends and great teammates have moved on as is the case every year, and new ones are here to try and get us back into October baseball.
J. D., Julio Lugo, [...]

I’ve done it. I’ve caved and am actually taking the blog plunge. There’s no single reason for it, but over the life of this space we’ll touch on a few.
I’ve been called everything from outspoken to blowhard to much, much worse. I believe those labels spring out of the fact that I care about the [...]
