I’m only surprised they didn’t title the show “Clits and Cleats”

[1] Overall, in the very short-term, the Rays will be worse off for having lost a league average innings eaters at worst.

[5] Hellickson is better, but the Rays could have had him AND Garza. Also, Hellickson will likely be hampered by an innings limit, so even if he is more effective, the Rays will eventually need someone else to pick up the slack.

[7] The original Wild Thing. Duren, who wore coke bottle glasses, would often throw wild pitches in warm-up, which legend has it were designed to intimidate hitters into thinking he had no control.

[0] Baseball groupies..they got a sub-culture going on over here too I have heard..recently retired legend Kiyohara Kazuhiro was well known for his hijinks with bar hostesses and female fans.

[6] I love Andy P but really..just make a freakin decision already!

[9] thelarmis! What’s up man? I can only get my comments up on the Banter from my home computer now so havn’t been around recently. Been digging a lot of Fender Rhodes albums these days, also some awesome Mal Waldron. Let’s jazz chat soon!

I haven’t seen it posted here yet, so I thought I would mention that former Yankee Ryne Duren passed away yesterday. He was 81. Duren pitched in the big leagues from 1954 to 1965, mostly with the Yankees. He threw hard, threw wild, drank a lot, and couldn’t see too well, an interesting combination.

A colorful Yankee, to say the least, and someone who was able to control his drinking problem after his playing days.

[4] It’s certainly possible, but just a theory at this point… after all Pettitte has been talking about retiring since well before the Clemens mess.

But I still just can’t believe how horrible Roger Clemens’ legal strategy has been this time. With better advice (or just less hubris) he’d never be on trial now…

Also, the Clemens-Pettitte story is SO going to be a made for TV movie one day. “A FRIENDSHIP… DESTROYED! Betrayal! Texas! Etc. Etc!”

Believe it or not, Tampa got better. Garza is out, but Jeremy Hellickson’s in.

The wife and I have been renting the HBO series “Rome” lately. It’s pretty damn good. Anyway, people have been pretty sleazy for many years and it’s not going to change any time soon. And it’s too bad.

actually, according to Mark Simon at ESPN’s stats & info (good stuff!), he says we’ll be sad to see Garza go, as we owned him. on top of that, Garza owned the S**t Sox…
