    Injuries are part of the game. You have to play the ones you've got. Seems like we've had this conversation before. 8)

    What a great group of kids, though. It won't always go this well, but you gotta enjoy it when it happens.

    Pity the Angels. 14-25 (.359) at the Fens under Scoscia.
    Stiff neck.

    Beckett was recovering from the flu..and ready to go. Pauley is not ready for the bigs. Pedroia., if he stays healthy during his career will be the next 400 ba hitter. Write it down.

    I'm sorry JIF, I just can't let that final statement go about Pedroia being the next .400 hitter. I like the kid a lot but whoa there, Big Fella. I think you overdid it on the wheatina this morning :wink: I am writing it down though.

    By the way, how did the "next Joe Dimaggio" , Rocco Baldelli, turn out?

    :D

    George my man.. Rocco is a very sick man. The potential was there. Peedy, on the other hand makes contact better then any ball player I ever saw. Write it down in duplicate!!
