Hard to say

Both were very good ball players, and one was an excellent manager.  Question?  Were they better than Jim Rice or Goose Gosage?  i don’t think so.

Damon

I don’t know.  Usually, absences like the one Damon had are for either: 1) death in the family; 2) court appearance of some sort.  I didn’t hear of anything maybe a divorce? Damon is divorced once already not sure if he remarried; or 3) birth of a child.

Unlucky 13

Pavano was hit on the instep of his foot by an Alberton Gonzalez line drive on Saturday and is being taken for an MRI.  Pavano elected not to pitch behind the L-screen during BP because it effects his mechanics.  Apparently, so do line drives off the foot.  Pavano missed PFP (Pitcher’s Fielding Practice) on Sunday, will likely miss today’s bullpen session, and [...]
