More Bobblehead Nights!


No. I am not a big fan of bobbleheads, I don’t believe I own a single one. However, if Dice-K will pitch like a genius every time a minor league affiliate hands out large-headed Dice-K dolls, then I say we get the factory popping those suckers out every fifth day. 7IP, 1 run, 9 strike-outs for 1,000 dolls. You already paid over $100 million for the guy, how much can those dolls really cost?

Now that the clear over-reaction is done with, it was a great game from Dice-K. His ERA dropped from 9.90 to 6.35. That is now lower than Josh Beckett’s. Perhaps we can get Josh a bobblehead night as well. I mean after his fake batting practice injury is all healed up that is. Now that I just wrote a conspiracy entry about the C’s, how about the Sox too? Yes, I believe that the Red Sox wanted to have Beckett skip a start or two, but they cannot just pull the guy they gave a massive extension to because they’d look stupid. So they blame it on inter-league play that they already hate, and say Josh tweaked his back during batting practice. Just a small conspiracy, but haven’t the fans earned a little honesty?

Vindication: A little off topic, every time Varitek gets a hit this season, I get a little more vindicated. No, not because I thought Tek should be the full time catcher, but because I have had a problem with all of the movement in his legs and arms in the swing. Now that he is listening to my advice screaming through the tv screen, he is experiencing some more success.
