The Countdown Begins
One week from today is Opening Day.
Some of Matthew Leach's "Notes" from today are...odd. Talking about Mulder's improved changeup: "It's as though the changeup fairy left him a present under his pillow one night this past February." Ooookay. In the Mike Lincoln update: "He said that on a routine basis, he doesn't feel any pain in his surgically reconstructed elbow, but that certain actions cause him discomfort." Yes, certain actions like pitching.
Wednesday is Waiver Day. We'll see by the weekend if Scott Boras has sufficiently scared the other 29 clubs away from Rick. I don't think he has.
And if you haven't run across it yet, here's the interview with Buzz Bissinger and La Russa on NPR this morning. The chapter on Kile is also excerpted.
For the next week it's Al Reyes v. Jarvis from the right and Pulsipher v. Flores from the left (ew, Crossfire reference, sorry). My vote is for Reyes and either of the southpaws. But I don't think Flores is nearly as amusing. Also, I kinda wish Luna was going to Memphis. Maybe there's another trade?
