Just a few tidbits

With Rain dumping on what seems to be the entire eastern seaboard right now I didn't feel like writing much. But here's a couple things to ponder...

With Halladay injured and although just a 15day stint on the DL a groin injury for a pitcher is obviously something to be monitored. Could this be the hole that Tim Wakefield needs to knuckle himself in St. Louis? I hope so!

With the Padres desperately trying to revitalize their team and lose some payroll their first trade piece goes down, Jake Peavy. Then they think oh our number 2 pitcher is pretty good maybe someone would want him. NAHT, he's shelved too. Do the Padres have the stones to move Gonzalez in order to decrease payroll and alienate EVERY fan? I say no he's the cornerstone of their franchise, sorry Mr. Peavy.

I said it at the beginning of the year, THE YANKEES WON'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. After losing 2 of 3 to that AA team (Nationals) New York has to be in complete disarray. Some of the headlines read: Yanks Nearly washed out, then whitewashed, ARod's Struggles Drawing Yawns, Soaking Fans, Then Throwing in Towel. The Rays are on a Roll and the yanks are going to take a backseat to both that pesky tampa team and the juggernaut that is the Boston Red Sox.

I firmly believe that Daisuke Walk-suzaka is getting secretly paid by the ghost (I think this is fair to say) of George Steinbrenner. But on the same token if Chien Ming Wang isn't on the Red Sox Payroll now they should atleast give him a ring as well in October.

One More...What the hell is going on with Kevin Youkilis in the last 3 weeks has batting avg has dropped 60 points? I realize he hit a round-tripper last night but he should probably not sit next to Ortiz in the Clubhouse anymore.
