Random thoughts from around the league

Just some things on my mind.

I wonder if the Tampa Bay Rays realized that it wasn’t their team name that was the problem, it was the team itself. I actually thought the Devil Ray was tight. The stupid sunbeam is absolutely horrendous.

Curt Schilling’s shoulder could possibly keep him out for the entire season. First, how does one injure their shoulder that badly before spring training even starts? And second, if this was a nagging injury, why was it not addressed until now?

It’s about time the Mets started spending like a team from NYC should. They are going to be scary good now. But still, let’s not forget how hilarious their collapse was last year. Everyone laugh all together now. Laugh now while we can before they win 120 games.

I’m really excited to see Dan Haren leave Oakland. Last year was his breakout year, and he’s going to be great for a long time. Enjoy Arizona, where we will never see you again.

This whole Clemens/McNamee thing is absolutely out of control. I want to believe that Clemens is all roided up, but McNamee sounds like a complete nutjob. How does he expect anyone to believe that he has syringes that he’s kept refrigerated for 8 YEARS, not to mention bloody syringes that somehow avoided Senator Mitchell’s investigation.

I absolutely cannot wait for fantasy baseball.

Annnd that’s basically all I have on my mind right now. That and a quick update on the Bedard deal. He’s in Seattle right now for his physical, so this painstakingly long process may finally be at an end. Can we PLEASE just be finished with this. I’m so excited to have Felix and EriK pitching back to back.
