Miscellaneous Thoughts

I woke up early this morning and put on a pot of coffee. While flipping through the channels (between ESPN, NESN's morning Sportsdesk and Imus in the Morning on MSNBC) I happened upon Ricky Williams on the Golf Channel of all places. He was part of the Natural Golf infomercial. It just struck me as strange... With all the attention being paid to Anna Benson and her supposedly posing for a "gentlemen's magazine" let's not forget the uber hottie among baseball player's wives - Laura Cover (wife of Aaron Boone and November 1998 Playmate of the Month)... If you looked at Pedro Martinez's line from last night's win you may get the impression that he wasn't dominant but he was. The Red Sox should not have had him in there for that last inning with the rain coming down and the pitcher's mound a mess... I think you will hear an announcement today that Carlos Delgado has been traded from the Blue Jays. The rumor is that he has agreed to waive his no trade clause... Count me among those who would be in favor of trading for Larry Walker. The Red Sox need an outfielder with Trot Nixon a major question mark and next year Walker can play the outfield or first base. If Ellis Burks doesn't come back (likely) and the Red Sox can move Byung-Hyun Kim and his $6 million 2005 salary to Colorado - then there isn't anything not to like about this move... Scott Erickson has a 7.88 ERA and opponents are hitting .395 off him. Is anyone surprised by that?
