Sean, Mr Crunchy doesn't post as much these days, neither does YAZMAN.
Paradisecity has been here on a regular basis. TMW never came back after the initial ban. mjriv, baseballdoctor is now jacksonianmarch.
You should PM Sean to let him know you are back!
OMG!! That is awesome that you listen to Elliot in the Morning. Love him. I heard it too. A reporter blogging during last night's game for the Boston Globe mentioned it as well:
UPDATE, 8:28 p.m.: Crowd was hanging on every pitch in the first inning and Pettitte looked sharp. Meanwhile, two interesting baseball tidbits from today: Mark McGwire will be the hitting coach of the Cardinals and ESPN has canned Steve Phillips. One disgraced figure is out, another comes back.
No big shock his wife filed for divorce. Won't miss him on ESPN.
WELLSY!!!! Welcome back bro! You have been missed. It's so weird, I thought about you last week and wondered how the hell you are doing! All is fine with me.
This season was frustrating as hell. The way we played the last month or so, I knew we wouldn't get out of the first round of the play offs. Just hope the Angels can take care of the MFY, not an easy job, but the Nick Adenhart (sp?) mojo might just make it happen.
So hope that all is well with you etc etc!! Really good to see you back!!!!
Dodgers.

Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff October 8, 2009 12:50 PM
NEW YORK - Rocco Baldelli will not be on the roster tonight when the Red Sox face the Los Angeles Angels tonight. The determination was made today in Anaheim according to a team source. Baldelli, suffering from a left hip flexor strain, simply couldn't recover in time to hep the Red Sox in this round. The feeling is Baldelli should recover to help the Red Sox should they advance to the next round.
Here is the full ALDS Red Sox roster:

1. Jon Lester
2. Josh Beckett
3. Clay Buchholz
4. Daisuke Matsuzaka

Catchers
24. Victor Martinez

Congrats Twins.
I felt like either team who won tonight's game, has a chance of taking Game 1 from the Yanks...momentum and all. Unless they party too hard and are hungover. We'll see what CC does this time around.
It's the Play Offs, ANYTHING can happen.
GO TWINS!!
