March 16, 201016 yr I was really hoping that was going to be a link to an Onion Mag story or something else... not this.
March 16, 201016 yr After reading the updates on Cowley and Merkin's twitters, it doesn't seem like it was nearly as bad as I expected. Saw Peavy this morning. No visible cuts or bruises. Going to work out. Said his rental car got rear ended and barely realized he got hit
March 16, 201016 yr After reading the updates on Cowley and Merkin's twitters, it doesn't seem like it was nearly as bad as I expected. He is one tough cat.
March 18, 201016 yr He didn't pitch with any lingering effects from this accident. Really good to see. He is a game player.

March 18, 201016 yr Why is it that Peavy is getting into all these situations where he can get hurt? First a liner hit at him and now a car crash. What's next?

March 18, 201016 yr QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 18, 2010 -> 12:54 AM) This makes me think of thise "Final Destination" movies. :-/ That was actually my first thought as well... He's had a lot of bad luck in the last year.
March 18, 201016 yr QUOTE (gatnom @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 11:24 PM) Definitely. He's barely even been here, but his attitude already has him as one of my favorite current Sox players. Cy Young Award aside, his attitude (especially carrying over from the end of last year) makes me really exited about him. Obviously we know he's a winner from his various accolades, but more importantly we know he's a true competitor. He could have 'mailed it in' on his few starts for us last year but he busted it to compete like it was the WS. Now he's showing that it wasn't just a show and he's out there showing the attitude and drive of a winner, and he's working harder than ever because he knows he's on a team that will compete. I love what he brings to this staff, and I feel his drive will be reflected throughout the team. Burls is an ace in his own right, but Peavy will be an out-spoken leader for the pitching staff and an emotional catalyst for the entire team, and I feel that will echo through the entire organization.
