After all, they can make Boone do many boneheaded things. Like pinch hit when he shouldn't. Or rest the hot bat. or, nevermind, the list is way too long.<br /><br />Ranger, <br /><br />I think we owe a lot to Blake (or is it Ba-lock-ay?). But don't forget was also owe a lot to a certain catcher that is no longer in town.<br /><br />Now if the intern will finally get rid of the head case and play any of the much better options available.<br /><br />Finally, I am pissed that I am going to my first ever old-timers day this year. Not because I'm going, but because there is no fucking game this year, of all years. Just ads for Steiner Memorabilia. Rufus T.

Not that they want him, but we could do something like that without fear.<br /><br />Washington has the absolute worst record in baseball so far, but I don't think they'd want Ernest & Julio. Neither would Cincy--I don't think--or the Cubbies or the Tigers or Oakland. Well, maybe Oakland. If we eat his salary.<br /><br />But yeah, DFAing him makes the most sense. Cano got DFAed and the Braves picked him up.

I see his retired number hanging on our hallowed wall in the future.<br /><br />And I also note that Cole, our not-really-an-ace-but-a-fine-pitcher-most-of-the-time, shut down the Sox handily, except for one errant pitch to the anti-Jeter. Barring that gopher ball, he really was ace-like yesterday. Well done, lacking-sticky-stuff one.<br /><br />Even Gallo, mighty Gallo, added a meaningless home run to the cause. That may be the secret to any future success he has: meaningless situations in meaningless games with a meaningless franchise. We can only hope he finds his Paradise before the trade deadline and homers there with impunity.<br /><br />Houston looms after the break. We have something to prove there.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-48992557437758525032022-07-18T09:01:10.030-04:002022-07-18T09:01:10.030-04:00I'd like to join in singing heapfuls of well-d...I'd like to join in singing heapfuls of well-deserved kumbaya to the juju gods - those Adonises and/or Dianas of the immortal world.
