Sweet Lou Reads the Blog...

It looks as if Piniella has taken my advice. After reading a previous post, he has decided to move Soriano to the five spot against lefties. Sure that's only like twenty percent of the games, but it's a start. Now the rest of you need to follow Lou's lead and listen and adhere to all things said on Rant-astic!

When did Dick Stockton start doing baseball? More importantly, when will that end? Not only was he completely awkward and unsure about everything that he said, he made at least two glaring mistakes. First, he called Alfonso Soriano "Aldolfo." If anyone can present proof to me that there is one person in the world named "Aldolfo" I'd be shocked. Second, he said that Derrek Lee played last season with the Brewers and Rangers. I can see that he meant Astro Carlos Lee, but get it together, Dick. If FOX isn't going to send Joe Buck, then don't televise the game.

Gary Sheffield????????????? Listen, Sheff, I think that the wagging of your bat is not a nervous twitch. I think, instead, that it is telling you "no." As in, don't speak when there are cameras and microphones around. First you say stupid shit about Latin American players; then you bad-mouth Joe Torre and Derek Jeter. You're really stupid.

Apparently every meaningful sportwswriter was on vacation this weekend because "The Sports Reporters" had Rick Bozich and some other tool I'd never seen on today. The first question posed was where A-Rod was going to end up last year. Each person had their stupid quip, but Blow-zich topped them all by answering the question with a question of his own. "Where is Scott Brosius?" OH! Take that Lupica! The rest of the show was filled with Rick's uncomfortable comments and unfinished thoughts. He was pretty much just on the set as the others bickered nonsensically for thirty minutes. Way to go Rick; you did us well.

In other C-J news, Brian Bennett looked to be a step late in linking Brian Brohm's stupid website. Also, I must say that Eric Crawford is slowly beginning to grow on me.
