It is said that there are secret talks going on between Jose Reyes agent and the Mets.
Two questions-
1) If the press discloses that there are secret talks taking place, does that still make them secret?
2) Does this make Reyes agent, a secret agent?
My wife had her foot operated on last week. I went with her to the follow-up under the guise of handholding and comforting.
What I really wanted to do was ask the surgeon why Albert Pujols could come back from a wrist fracture four to six weeks faster than other players.
He answered that he did not know the severity of the injury, but that a stress fracture and other like fractures are easier to recover from than other fractures. He also surmised that Pujols did everything possible to recover that fast, even from a stress-like fracture.
Just for my own entertainment, I'd like to see Brad Hand of the Florida Marlins take a photo op with Steve Jobs of Apple.
The caption underneath the picture-
'Hand-Jobs'
If I'm listening to Martians invading earth over the radio, I imagine it through the eyes of a baseball broadcaster.
Here are a few scenarios-
'The Martians look resplendent in their kelly green glow emblazoned across the azure sky.
Our soldiers are marching up to the purposed leader, quizzical in what is on their minds'
-Vin Scully
'Holy cow! How could these little guys hurt anybody? Martians backwards is Snaitram!
I think these guys are natural born catchers, they don't need to squat!'
-Harry Carey
'These guys look like a bunch of ducksnorts. They've opened fire on us!
(silence while the Martians wipe out 1,000's)
(A soldier throws a grenade and hits some Martians)
Yes! Put it on the Board....Yes....He Gone!!!
-Hawk Harrelson
'In 1964, the year we won the World Series, they sold some soft drinks in cups that looked like Martians. I'll never forget that (laughs)
Oh look some of our men have been hurt by Martian rayguns. Remember the gun on J.R.
Richard?
There was a guy that could toss some lasers!'
-Tim McCarver
Juan Pierre isn't stealing bases
Adam Dunn isn't hitting home runs
Alex Rios is doing neither
The White Sox are fantasy kryptonite
Kendry Morales has just two less hits vs. left handers than Adam Dunn this year....
So does Babe Ruth....
Four teams have over 50 wins this year...
The Yankees and the Red Sox
The Phillies and the Braves
Hope your team isn't counting on being a wild card this year...
Robinson Cano has only hit .273 vs. rh'ers, while torching lefties at .347....
Mr. Cano, Mr. Dunn; Mr Dunn, Mr. Cano
