I think all the guys just want to get this season over with. We are now 32 minutes into the game and already in the bottom of the 3rd inning. This might be a 1:45 game.
Were the Cubs planning a lockout, or were the other executives? I'm guessing its the Cubs and their "clean books" references. I don't know what the Ricketts/Steinbrenners/Fenway Sports Group have planned, but it is likely to be messy.
Yes, grim times as the season winds down. I want to think Jed is learning his lessons, but I think he and the Ricketts kids are the poster children for mediocre White people.
It depends on how much he can control his strikeouts. I'm lower than most people on him. I'd rather they traded him at the deadline. It's going to take him a while to settle in, and it's likely going to be pretty ugly for a good portion of that time.
This is the most frustrating part of all of it. They refuse to flex.
They have no margin for error in an area of baseball that is the hardest to predict.
