Date: Monday April 8, 2002 It's getting to the point where we're starting to take it for granted, but even a Big Dog likes to be scratched behind his ears every once in a while. With that in mind, how 'bout a tip of the cap for the Silva Surfer. Not only has he had countless scoops on various Red Sox news (usually season-ending injuries, sadly), but now he's also becoming freakishly prescient when it comes to good news. Yes, he said D-Lowe would no longer D-Blow once he got his Mojo back by moving into the rotation. And he has defended the Hardest Working Man in the Cage, Shea Hillenbrand, who enjoyed his launch so much yesterday he ordered another. If he ever learns the strike zone, this guy will be incredible. The guy takes so many swings in the cage, maybe he should take some pitches in there too. Just to get in the habit. And most notably, Big Dog told a Nervous Nation to relax, assuring us that Ol' Pete would be his ol' self again yesterday. Now I know we can't get too excited since the guy who pitched against my North Valley Bears today in our over-30 hardball league in the San Fernando Valley could probably five-hit the Woes, but seeing Pedro getting it up to 94 and spotting the ball well was just what the Dog ordered. Is it my imagination, or has this season already been more fun than last year? And as an added bonus, Surly John Valentin cost the Mets a game yesterday with an error at first base. Yea! |
