He's clearly got incredible talent; he hits around .350 for three-month stretches almost every year (and did it for a whole season a few years ago). He's just fucked in the head and will probably never put it all together.

It's time for my annual "how the fuck can I possibly be blacked out for Nationals games?" bitching session. Contract that fucking team please.
Mets go for the sweep of the Natinals tomorrow but they'll face the Nats young stud pitcher Jordan Zimmerman.
Josh Beckett was awful the first couple of innings for the Sawx but AJ Burnett decided to be worse and completely implode for 8 runs. yeesh...
edit: Why is Beckett still in the game?
This Yankees/Red Sox game is ridiculous!
Edit: I'm hooked. I can't turn away.
The Yankees bullpen blows. Maybe next year they'll spend $500 million on that.
Hmm. Think the Jays are going to lose today.
Jays got raped. That's what happens when you call up a shitty Josh Towers-esque veteran instead of a decent young pitcher to sub for an injured player.
He was fine for 4 innings. Can't expect pitching to be good all the time, not with this staff.
And really it's kinda expected that after that barrage last night they'd go to sleep today. The real challenge is waking up tomorrow.
Even though it's early, there's a general excitement in the air surrounding the Jays. Last Thursday I was in a pub with a friend. The TVs were set to the Jays, and for the first time in recent memory, people other than my friends were glued to the set, cheering on the Jays and talking about their chances. This won't last forever, but it feels good.
Let's see if the Jays can make it six straight series.
Btw., I'm pumped about the Yanks/Red Sox game tonight. Despite the fact that I despise their evil empire, I'm rooting for the Yanks to clip the Red Sox's wing, get them off our heels.
