TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe

Obviously, his resume on the field speaks for itself. But he has a long history of character issues and the way that the media cannonizes this guy is a tad much.

Jericho was booked pretty bad throught his tenure with the 'Fed, especially in his first several months. He came in so incredibly red hot, and they just shelved him for months with nothing to do, in nothing feuds with the likes of Road Dogg, X-Pac (round 1), and Chyna for months.

One of my roommates rented this a while back. Usually I can find some sort of a redeemable quality or some part of a movie that I liked, at least I know I didn't completely waste my time. Wickerman, on the other hand... I can't remember a Nicholas Cage movie I have actually liked. Edit: After a quick IMDB, I liked National Treasure and The Rock, but I think it was because I enjoyed the films, not specifically him. But I haven't seen either in a long time.

From the freak injury files.... May have been mentioned in last week's TWIB, but Carl F'ing Pavano may be facing TJ surgery

Darn tootin'

I wouldn't mind seeing the Colts/Steelers 2005 playoff game again.

I don't think Cashman's job is on the line. At least, it shouldn't be. He spent his first offseason in true control of the team by rectifying dumb moves of the Steinbrenner/Tampa Fac-gime as well as reducing the payroll, while Boston increased theirs: 1) Re-signed Andy Pettitte to a 1 year deal in hopes of bridging to the future of the rotation (Hughes, Clippard, etc) 2) Traded injured/disgruntled/Abreu-made-obsolete Gary Sheffield for young arms 3) Traded injured/old/disgruntled Randy Johnson for bullpen help and minor leaguers 4) Traded injured/bad/injured Jaret Wright for a decent bullpen chip in Chris Britton, currently in AAA Blame also can't be placed on him for losing the Matsuzaka bidding, as well as the Igawa signing, which was clearly a Steinbrenner influenced decision to try and match what the Sawx did. One thing he did not do was to sure-up the bench (I hate the Meintkeiwicz signing, and getting Phelps in the Rule V hamstrings them with him on the big club all season and three 1Bs on the roster), but replacements/pinch hitters/pinch runners for this lineup are a rarity anyway. Keeping Melky Cabrera was a big non-move, since Matsui has already been on the DL and Damon is all sorts of banged up, plus Abreu is in his free agent year. Cashman is also a big backer of Mattingly, who was promoted from hitting coach to bench coach in an obvious move to groom him for Torre's job. We've already seen 3 Torre bench coaches become managers (Lee Mazzilli, Willie Randolph, Joe Girardi). I think it was also a great move to bring Girardi back to the fold (he's an announcer on YES, whoever's move it was), giving them a nice yet tough decision on the next manager, if Girardi doesn't get another offer in 2008. My gut says Torre is safe, since injury and AAA-call up ineffectiveness has in turn warn out the bullpen, and Stein is not what he used to be in his pre-Torre revolving door of managers hey day.

"Root for the laundry"

Bring back Anglesault.

I am incredibly greatful that I am only forced to watch Fox/ESPN for national Saturday and Sunday games. Bless you, YES.

Now ESPN, like SNY before, is saying that Clemens is getting the sweetheart fancy free go home when I want deal from the Yankees, that YES said he is not. Edit. Also, apparently Big Stein said something to Clemens that "touched his heart" that he won't talk about till the season is over. PLEASE GOD don't let them retire his number in Monument Park.

They need to stop smoking Clemens' cock so much during a San Fran/Philadelphia game.

Next on SportsCenter, why people not liking Barry Bonds is a RACIAL~!!!! issue Edit- Joe Morgan: I think it's good for baseball that Roger Clemens is coming back. WHY

All week long they hyped tonight's Gints/Phils game with guess-who's record chase, including the opening montage. Womp womp, Barroid's not even playing.

I was at least 110% sure that Clemens would return to Houston.

That's false - Pettitte is making $16m, and Mussina about $11-12mil. The only Yankees making $20 million or more are Derek Jeter and Jason Giambi. Edit - A decent piece of A-Rod's salary is covered by Texas, which is why I didn't list him as raking over 20mil from the Yanks.

Niether do I. Darrell Rasner pitched a shutout today, and I'm pretty sure he will make about $27,700,000 less than this new guy.

In hilarious irony, the Mets have an upcoming promotion at Shea Stadium - free flashlight night.

It isn't. Vizcaino was sharp to start the year, and has been way overworked and extremely ineffective since the Fenway series several weeks back. On Friday, Myers pitched 4 innings of relief, smashing his career high, in a 15-11 loss. I don't get how Farns couldn't get an inning in there somewhere.

Farnsworth has been in Torre's doghouse all year. He doesn't have near as many innings as Proctor, Vizcaino, Myers, and Bruney, and can't sniff the 7th and 8th innings.

I think I heard him say in the press conference that he's going to do most of his work in Tampa. But maybe he makes one start at each level like last year, which would be Tampa (A), Trenton (AA), and SWB (AAA).

Met announcers are discussing that Clemens is getting his sweetheart, go home when he wants to deal. Yet the Yankee post game show said he will not.

Shut your face why don't you

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, fuck him in his stupid ass.
