Hey did you know Bobby Jenks is a big dude? That's awesome. You can read all about it in the newspaper. [More]

True Faith

Maybe Ozzie Guillen’s forgotten the name and the address of everyone he’s ever known, but that’s nothing compared to thinking Jose Contreras and Bartolo Colon were ready for battle. [Mouthpiece Sports]

And hey, you know how I know Jake Peavy is awesome? Because he beat the Royals, that’s how. I even read that in the paper. And a real paper at that, not just some interblog drawing stupid conclusions from the sidelines. Because, you know, if you can beat the Royals, you can beat anyone. Anyone. [Mouthpiece Sports]

More Advancement

Ssssssshhh! You, complaining about the low batting average – quiet down over there! Carlos Quentin is thinking! Again! [Mouthpiece Sports]

Sorry for the lapse in posting, folks. A rather large non-sports-related project came up so pieces here on 35th Street might become slightly intermittent over the next few weeks. As penance, a Friday twofer of world-hating cynicism by yours truly:

First of all you guys, Gordon Beckham is, like, so awesome, and his hair is totally rad, and he’s good at baseball, and I wonder if he likes Twilight, too, OMG, that would be so cool, and he likes girls!!!! Srsly, I read it in the ppr, I heard he’ll totes txt u if u txt him! [Mouthpiece Sports]

Fawning aside, we turn our attention to a man transforming crests and troughs into gross oversimplification, not interesting like Javier Vazquez and not useless like Nick Swisher: ladies and gentlement, Jose Contreras is the Rex Grossman of Major League Baseball. [Mouthpiece Sports]
