“Righty” because he is actually right handed – he only pitches left handed (how cool is that?). Think of it as short for “I am actually a righty”.

“Kazmir” because that is who was drafted right after Adams. That said, not drafting him is not even in the same universe as the trade the Mets engineered. Yowsa! To be honest, I just could not think of anything else. I am also struggling with Romero….not sure what would be a good nickname for him.

MW: Get back to the drawing board.

The Silly – I always seem to have a cheesy nickname or two in my comments here, and the topic has been coming up a bit lately, so…

I totally see the Caveman thing, just hope it isn’t taken the wrong way. It seems to be doing alright so far, judging by comments in here. Someone not long ago asked about another name for Scoot. Because of his aggressiveness on the basepaths, I thought maybe Marco Mookiero or EightBall. Seriously, who steals a base on their own walk? You can’t do that! I love that! Allass, I’m going to go with Smooth ‘Zualan. Someone also asked about young pitchers Brett and Ricky. All I’ve got is Keycil and Romerowitzki. I never claimed to be good at this, but I might come up with a gem one day.

The Really – I mentioned before that it’s stupid for Mommy Ramirez to be allowed to play AAA. I’ll expand a little. What is to stop a guy from juicing if he’s close to making the majors, but isn’t quite there? If he gets caught, he can just play AAA anyway. Or, if he has to drop down a level while suspended, like WoManny did, it would still be worth taking the chance. The only way around this, that I see, is for MLB to admit that there is a double standard, that only a star would be allowed to play while he’s suspended from playing. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Just Bud being Manny?

The Dilly

MW: You want MLB to admit a double standard? That’s a good one. You know, I actually don’t mind Romerowitzki.

MW: What you said was (and I just went back and listened) “If the Jays are serious about adding a left-handed bat they don’t have to just look for Nick Johnson, umm, but a name that pops out is especially Derrek Lee in Chicago…….”. I’ll appreciate your apology whenever it comes. Also, Angel Martinez?

Try some raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Use about two teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar and mix it in a bottle of water, though sip it slowly. It will strengthen your immune system and help you fight off your flu very quickly.

Anyways, what do you think of the Mark DeRosa deal? I think its a great deal for the Cardinals to help them make a push for the playoffs this season.

Also, what do you think of OF/3B Jake Fox from the Cubs? When Ramirez returns from the DL, the Cubs might find it difficult to get Fox regular at-bats. Do you think Fox would be a good fit for the Jays? If so, what do you think the Cubs would look for in return? He would be a better option at DH rather than Millar, Bautista, or Adams in my opinion.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

MW: Actually, I take apple cider vinegar every day, it helps deal with my GERD – it’s really miraculous. Hasn’t helped with this, though, or maybe it has and that’s why my flu has been so mild. I like Fox, but I don’t love him. We’d discussed him earlier – if he hit left I’d be all over the idea.

And I can name two right-handed starters who’d help the Jays even more – C.C Sabathia and Johan Santana.

MW: They sure would!

“Get Well, Get Well Soon, We Want you to Get Well.

Does the Fan require you to do a rehab show in Las Vegas? A little 51′s talk maybe?

MW: I could handle that.

MW: On the blerg? Just a couple.

MW: I’ll bet it’s about .500.

Miss hearing your voice on the radio. They keep talking about 14 balls hit into the 500 level at the Rogers Centre. Is there a list posted somewhere? I’d like to read it through.

Get well soon!!!
Thanks

MW: They used to put the list in the media guide, but I’m not sure they do anymore. Here it is, the 14 500-level homers have been hit by (in chronological order): Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Joe Carter, Carlos Delgado, Canseco, Canseco, Shawn Green, Manny Ramirez, Raul Mondesi, Josh Phelps, Phelps, Gary Sheffield, Vernon Wells and Jayson Werth.

MW: I deleted the rest of your comment because, well, let’s just say it takes a special kind of scumbag to revel in another person’s illness, and you just joined that club.
