two things that must be said

1.) Jason Bay? Really? That's the best they could do?

2.) If you ever have occasion to take any kind of supplement or medication that warns on the label that it will change the color of your urine, try to keep that in the forefront of your mind so that you don't start hysterically cracking up in your employer's restroom. Um, just sayin'.

I take the arrival of Mr. Bay more of a statement of the positively Roger-esque excesses to which Manny seems to have fallen lately (and even Roger never pushed around the traveling secretaries) instead of a referendum on Theo's trading skills. Honestly, where ya gonna shop a $20M man child who will be under no contract obligations whatsoever in three months?

Me, I like Bay well enough to give him a fair look-see. The part I'm really nauseous about is that they did jack s*** to shore up the bullpen, and that's gonna kill us a whole hell of a lot quicker than a marginal drop in the production of our four hole. (Which, by the way, isn't nearly as precipitous as we're suffering at catcher these days with Tek's bat plunging perilously toward the Mendoza line).

I'm thinking they shoulda been able to get Jason Bay and a possibly semi-effective reliever, no matter how badly behaved Man-well is. But then I start thinking about what kind of bullpen "help" they acquired last year at this time and I start with the PTSD flashbacks, so nevermind. :-)

But on another note, I do think it's charming that you felt like you should asterix "shit" in my blog, Mr Barma. Did you forget where you were or something? hahahaha

I was just looking at Jason Bay's stats and (I'm not watching, so I may eat my words)as far as I can see, all we're missing is dreadlocks and an attitude.

I think the Sox front office is also traumatised by last year's bullpen deal for Er...Er...I can't make myself say that name. While the current bullpen gets edjumacated, a .519 slugging percentage is nice to have around.

We'll see if lightning can strike twice in the same place.

Never mind the meds. For a good morning shocker, eat a large meal with a lot of beets in it and, next morning, forget that you did.

Really?!?? I do not like beets, so I was unaware that they made your bodily fluids turn interesting colors. I might need to force myself to eat some so I can see for myself.

I'm such a medical dork.

I see I don't have to eat my words about Jason Bay just yet :> so I won't find out if *they* make urine turn colour.

Meanwhile, Manuel Aristides was hitting into a double play in the ninth inning.
