I heard that Damon is back in camp after an excused absence for a few days.  Anyone know why he needed some time off?  We don’t need him to be distracted this year.

The old saying goes that Manny is the type of hitter who could wake up in the middle of the night and hit a line drive.
Those pictures of Schilling are great.  I guess he’s not taking Clemens’ advice on the workout program.  Doesn’t look like much of a threat in those photos.
As a child, Pavano [...]

It seems it took a few extra days to get the multi-colored tint in his new hairdo just right. It is Manny Ramirez, for goodness sake. He could show up cold 30 minutes before the opening day and hit screaming liners and slowly shuffle after fly balls. There are no surprises with Manny, on the field, [...]

Mo has nixed the idea that he would ever pitch for the Red Sox.  So, Mo has essentially shown his hand.  The bluff has been called by Cashman.  Mo will be paid at the end of the season.  And paid well. But the threat of seeing Mo pitching at Fenway in anything other than road [...]

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 [...]

Damon’s pants may be tight, but Schilling’s are tighter. 
 
“Hey Hop-Sing, I mean Dice-K, Get me another Hot Dog and a Slushie!”

“Where did Justin Pedroia go?” 
According to Toni Massarotti of the Boston Herald, Schilling ate him. That’s why the Red Sox are unwilling to commit to Senor Plump until the end of the year.

Your numerical pithy summaries and updates are great, Mike T.  I sense a new Roundtable recurring feature in our future.

Mitchell is approximately a year into his investigation.  He recently confirmed that his investigators are at spring training camps in FLA and ARI.  He also recently reported to the owners that he received “less than stellar cooperation” from various clubs and “no cooperation” from the players. 
As I said last year, teams and players that do [...]

#10. Johnny Damon is Fat! Damon arrived at camp and “found out the pants are a little tight.”  Damon reported to camp at 217 pounds approximately 5 pounds heavier than his “reporting weight”. Damon explained that he might want to go as low as 210 to take some stress off his legs.  The media guide lists Damon at [...]

If Pavano doesn’t make the starting rotation, I am personally going to fly down to Tampa, jump into one of Steinbrenner’s golf carts and run him over.
I never weighed in on A-Rod’s comments on his friendship with Jeter.  Perfectly appropriate.  He was asked a question and he responded in an honest manner.  If the Captain doesn’t [...]
