If the Phillies hadn’t already passed the Astros earlier today, I’d be thinking about a certain 43 year old’s 2005 ill-gotten victories getting his club into the post-season.
A speedy, long-haired outfielder from a Northeastern team who vaguely resembles the gentlemen above has also been the subject of a number of rumors today. Terrible stuff. The Inter-web is a very irresponsible place.
(LATE EVENING ADDENDUM : I’ve been told that Michael Kay’s ESPN 1050 radio show was the catalyst for much of this speculation, naming-shaming, etc., Kay citing an unnamed NL pitcher and AL position player whose teams were playoff bound. Well, that narrows it down. In any event, considering the source….never mind.)
It would explain the size/width of his unsubstantiated head (even without the hair).
Red Sox Weasel.
I’ve also been troubled by how small a certain dirty capped Georgian right fielder for the same NE team got so small over the summer. But there’s nothing there, right?
I believe I predicted the Rocket’s “fuel” was suspect in the off-season. If it’s true, is he the first pitcher to be outted? Randy Johnson is next.
Btw, this also might explain his tempter tantrums last year at his kids little league games.

i thought that dirty capped right fielder was from north carolina. i’d suspected him of being juiced for a number of years. until 3 years ago he was a good fielding doubles hitter. now he’s an injury prone power hitter. curious, at least.
Got me, NC (I was getting my red states mixed up- they all look the same from up here in Maine).
