We need to determine what Frank's true situation is before we make any moves.

from ESPN.com Bartolo ranks as the third most overpaid player in the game, trailing only Mike Hampton and a quartet of Dodgers. Raise another Big Mac for Bart. 3. Bartolo Colon, Angels ($11,000,000) The highest-paid Angel (along with Vlad Guerrero) signed a fat four-year, $51 million contract in December. His 6-8 record and 6.38 ERA this year are entirely deserved; opponents have racked up an impressive .296 batting average against the Angels' "ace." It's possible Colon will set a new major-league record this season -- for most home runs surrendered by a pitcher. The current mark of 50 is held by Bert Blyleven, who accomplished the feat in 271+ innings in 1986. Colon has given up 27 taters in just 104.1 innings. Colon has been getting worse as the innings wear on his 5-11, 260-pound frame, something that Angels manager Mike Scioscia has failed to address. But ESPN's Dave Campbell, on a Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, has made his opinion clear: "It doesn't seem politically correct to tell somebody they're fat, but Bartolo Colon is fat, and so is Sidney Ponson. "They both have a lot of money, and they need to push themselves away from the dinner table. I mean, after all these excuses about mechanics and all this -- well, they have tried to fix their mechanics. Try pushing your butt away from the table."

Is Schneider available?

please ignore eddie munster

wasn't ruben sierra available?

Whitey Ford, Sparky Lyle, Ron Guidry, Mike Torrez and Stan Bahnsen. You can never have enough Yankees. It's the only way to keep MLB and Fox happy.

all I am saying is give Rauch a legit chance. Exactly what did he do wrong against Cleveland when the Sox really needed a win?

stop the madness. when will this end?

let's bash esty instead

we're cooked.

in case you missed it, Miggy don't live here no more. and Mike Scioscia didn't miss it.

And WHY ISN'T Garland pitching?

We need a W. It's that simple. Win today and then get healthy against the Mariners.

calling Borchard up is one thing. getting Borchard to produce is another thing. 9 runs in six games suggests we need a live bat -- and we need one soon.

What precisely is Frank's injury?

I've seen enough. be back tomorrow. Hopefully Schone won't be. And maybe he'll shut his big pie hole, too.

bring back Rauch

and then beam Scotty to the bullpen

and the Twins are up 4-0, if you're scoring at home

if schoenweis wants to keep starting, let him do it at Charlotte

I couldn't agree more. this group has been maddeningly inconsistent. but until they show me they know how to put the hammer down and play solid baseball for 6 weeks at a time, I ain't worrying about no stinking playoffs. case closed.

negotiating ploy?

how about we win a freakin game before we worry about the playoffs?

mike jackson needs to leave yesterday. maybe they can package Diaz or Rauch in a deal for somethin.

heard ozzie say last night after the game that he's going to give Harris a couple of games to get it going. the implication was that if he keeps struggling until the all-star break, he's pulling the plug. I like Hairston -- and he's got to be a Sox fan, considering his father and (I believe) his grandfather (Sam) were with the team.
