I wonder if it's possible to freeze Buchholz a la Teddy's Head to prevent him from injuring himself between starts.

WTF with modern athletes?

Yes, they're bigger, faster, stronger, etc...but sneeze on them wrong and they hit the DL. And, they're coddled WAY more than they were in Mordecai Brown's day.

How many complete games did Cy Young pitch? Spahn and Sain, then pray for rain? Guys went out there every third day...played both ends of a double header...rode TRAINS to away games...and what passed for sports medicine back then amounted to "take a salt tablet...can you still walk on it?"

I'm not saying these guys aren't tough or don't play with nagging injuries...but...I don't know how to finish that sentence.

I have no idea how much conditioning some of these guys do, but in Buchholz' case it's because he supposedly slept on his neck wrong. Da fuck?! Get a memory foam mattress or do yoga an hour a day.

Probably won't matter. Jays are unbeatable and the Sox bailey.

Colby Rasmus is uglier than a bag of assholes. Uglier, in fact, than Dustin Pedroia.

My official rankings back in late March were

Jays
Yankees
Rays
Orioles
Sox


For a while there it looked like I had them in reverse order, but who know with this Jays resurgence.
