That should be Aaron “Stick a Fork in Me” Sele.
I’d hate to have to resurrect my Pit thread about him from last year. I can’t believe the Angels are paying him $8.5 million this year. What a waste. I could go up there and throw batting practice fastballs for half the money and get the same result.
Oh yes, they’d fear my 50-60 MPH fastball with no movement or control.
It’s obvious that we’re headed for a Tiger-Ray ACLS.
Reeder, it’s not 2-2 that worries me but all the injuries. We’re less than a week into the season and we’ve lost Mauer and Hunter. Thank God the Victory/TimeWarner battle continues so I can’t watch the games.
Not to mention that Ramiro Mendoza, “the embedded Yankee” as Bob Lobel calls him, decided his shoulder was sore and he couldn’t pitch when he got the bullpen call. With any luck, we won’t see him again. Ever.
Old joke time again: There won’t be any beer sales at Fenway this year. The Sox lost their opener.
It took me a few minutes to get that.
Anyway, it could be worse. You could be cheering for Seattle and still waiting for your first win of the season.
