Dice-K is getting an MRI on his shoulder. Right now the problem is being called 'fatigue.' Ya think? That's what happens when you throw 200 pitches per start. I like a new moniker for him that I saw on the Pete Abraham blog the other day, Dice-BB.
The Rays somewhat unexpected success has been well documented this year, but no one in Tampa seems to care. The Rays are drawing about 17,000 per home game. That is worst in the AL. It's worse than the Royals for blog's sake.
Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens continue to play leap frog on the career strike out list. The Big Unit is tied with The Rocket after last night's start. Johnson has a 10.8 K's per nine innings ratio over the course of his 21 year career. That is just grotesque.
I think we'll have instant replay in baseball, at least to judge fair/foul calls, in about two years. It will be used on safe/out calls about a year after that. They won't be able to resist entreaties to use technology that just about all home viewers have available by that point.
