In Response to Re: Sox vs Rays Thursday game thread : Absolutely I know........... But you mentioned the zydeco bands in DC. Do they still hold the Blues Festival in the park?

I'm not sure about that. You're talking about the Memorial day weekend shindig right? I haven't been to it in a few years. Anyway my mom's the Cajun in the family. She absolutely loves Fats, Mr. Kershaw, Queen Ida Guillory and Clifton Chenier.

Eat Nick Punto's contract. No room for guys hitting .133 on a bad team. Better off with young guys.

Our BP (shaky Padilla outing aside) has been phenomenal. Poor Mark Melancon, who has been lights out at Pawtucket, can't get a call back.

How many teams have a proven reliever just hanging out in AAA ? We're going to be right back in the race by the end of June, Joel. Then we start getting STARTERS back. Ells,Crawford,Bailey. Don't know any teams that can say that either.

When you bring Salt IN for the critical 9th, what's that say about your D behind the dish?

True dat, upper. If this team just hangs around, stays within five games of first, it's going to be very exciting when the injured return. Yeah, I know they're seven back but that's not going to last long.

Well, I see Pena is back at home near the Mendoza line--after such a "hot start".

What a JOKE! Remy & Don talking about Dice-K being ready to return>?> Guess he's "NOT EVEN CLOSE" to coming back, according to little bobby v. Does this shock anybody??????
Does anybody seriously believe that either Dice K or Crawford are EAGER to return??????
They know they suck, & don't want any part of this team!
PLEASE!!!!!!! Stay on the LT DL............. forever if possible???

BTW, the "Goofy Genius of Tampa Bay" falls short for the fourth time in six attempts.
