well yeah, pitchers can always be fat.... like Joe Blanton, had no idea he was that big.... wow....
you're not going to see umm.... another Bob Hamelin running around anytime soon... i'm guessing Prince Fielder is probably the biggest guy, and he's probably a lot more muscle than it appears...
how about david wells? that guys got a gut

On the same night, two of the greatest closers didn't even last a whole inning, and got pulled
Mariano Rivera pitched mop-up, but got slapped around by the BoSox again.
Trevor Hoffman was honored for having the saves record before the game, but then blew the save in the game later on, and gave up 4 runs. This was the night after he gave up a walk-off home run to blow the save for Jake Peavy's 16 K outing.
that's 'cuz they're both too old...well, 'cuz Rivera's confidence is deteriorating and Hoffman's too old. It's a shame. I used to love Trevor Hoffman...back in the days when they were in the playoffs and Hells Bells was actually an event.
I remember that made me think about whether I'd rather be a closer than a starter, just so I could come out to music 
Month of April almost to the end...from what you've seen from the first month, who's your MLB Champion? I'm thinking it's the Mets' year. Best hitting ball club next to the Yanks, along with the best pitching staff, looking pretty good!
P.S. King Felix supposed to make his return start against the Yankees!!
the fact that the Sox took five of the first six from the Yanks thus far is really embarassing for Torre and the Yanks...
but
I like Halladay, Burnett and the Jays... again, I think I've been riding their bandwagon for two seasons now, and I can't quite give up on them...
John Maine makes me think he's kind of a big deal... so I'll go Mets in the NL...
King, am I allowed to jump on the Red Sox-bandwagon? Over here in Europe we have to watch Red Sox or Yankees 75% of the time, so I thought I take one of the team as my new favourite.

When was the last time the Devil Rays were in 2nd place in the AL East, or anywhere near that?

so, according to my calculations, Clemens is going to get about $10,000 per pitch he throws this year.
Welcome back Roger! I don't give a fuck what all you whiners have to say, but this RIGHT HERE is going to turn the Yankees' season around. I'm not saying they'll win the World Series, but they are definitely going to contend now. Mussina is back and healthy, Petitte is reliable as always, Wang was unbelievable yesterday and I expect him to continue pitching well. Now mix in the Rocket, plus Hughes perhaps when he heals. Both Karstens and Rasner have both proven to be worth further looks too.
They still need another reliable arm in the bullpen but anybody who counts the Yankees out now is foolish.
you do realize he's not even going to be pitching every 5th game. He doesn't have to go on road trips, so he could even pitch as little as 1/7th or 1/8th of the rest of their games. He might only manage about 20 starts. Even if you won 3/4 of those, that's an upgrade of, what, 5 games? Nah, this only matters for the playoffs.
I never heard the part about him not pitching on road games. That was his deal in Houston.
Show me where any of the reports or Clemens himself have said that he will only pitch at Yankee Stadium. If you play for the Yankees, you go where the team goes.

Sure but 7 games can be the difference between winning the division or the Wild Card. Beckett and Schilling might be pitching well now for the Red Sox but the season is long and they could get injured again just like last year.
Plus everyone respects Clemens. He's one of those guys that brings a lot to the clubhouse which is key for a team that's been hard pressed lately like the Yanks.
Anyway, I'll guarantee right now that he DOES pitch road games. He was blathering about winning a championship, etc. He knows he HURTS his team by staying in New York, plus his family live in Houston so he's basically away from them for the entire season anyway, regardless of whether he pitches in the Bronx or on the road.
Roger wants to win one more ring and I think he's going to do everything he can to help the Yankees. I wonder, if this time he actually retires in a Yankees uniform if he'll go into Cooperstown with the pinstripes on? Probably not but I think it's clear where his loyalties are now.
