      I dunno, he looks more like Curious George to me. Just look at their faces



      Just having some fun. I by no means condone what Bosio is said to have done. That's just pretty crappy and really, he should know better.

            As are the Yankees and Red Sox. The pennant race in the AL is going to be brutal!

If he actually is telling the truth that's a pretty dumb way to get fired, but it sure seems like he is making up a fake backstory for saying something insensitive
              It's a weird situation.

              Reading Bosios statement there's a feeling of, okay sure I can see how maybe this was misunderstood.

              But four people are telling Avila and the Athletic that it's not how it went down.

              Incredible then why Bosio would make up such an elaborate story. But I guess some people would do anything to save their career?

                Ron Gardenhire backed the Tigers' decision to fire Chris Bosio for insensitive comments. Said the manager: "We're not going to stand for this anymore."

                    Looking at his stats, I'm not really sure why beyond ticket sales. A .720 OPS at AA level doesn't say all-star to me.

                    It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                            I'm at the Double-A Trenton Thunder game tonight. Started at 7 and only lasted one hour 57 minutes. That's some quick baseball.

                              Been reading a lot the last few weeks about the Cubs and it seems their pitching is outperforming their peripherals across the board, and some possibly major regression looks to be on the way eventually.

                              That doesn't bode well.

                                Lester is definitely "due" for regression. His ERA is close to 2 runs lower than his FIP....hopefully he keeps pitching at Wrigley with the wind blowing in
