Nothing’s Going On, But Tom Izzo Speaks in Third Person

The Man

With 6 days until opening day, there’s not much going on. Some of the teams that are training in Arizona (Angels, Diamondbacks, Cubs, White Sox, Rockies, Royals, Brewers, A’s, Padres, Giants, Mariners, and Rangers.) may be interested in Manny Delcarmen, who has become somewhat expendable in the Sox bullpen due to it’s depth, according to The Man. It is interesting to note that two of those teams listed (we don’t know which ones Gammons speaks of) happen to be the current teams of Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Miguel Montero, and at this point in the spring, a bullpen presence like Delcarmen fetches a higher price than it did over the winter.

The Sox play the Braves at Disney World today with about half of the starting nine making the trip. The Wiggler is pitching in his first start for the Sox after being named MVP of the WBC (again). NESN should be airing every spring game now, just because the wait is making me act like Cartman waiting for the Wii to come out. Is it too much to ask to have my daily does of DO and Remy?

In other news, as names surface in the quest to take over the Kentucky Basketball coaching job, Tom Izzo (who still has games to play) was on SportsCenter this morning speaking about his own situation in the third person. I can’t quote him because nobody has put the transcript of his comments up online yet, but he went into detail about how Magic johnson makes all of the decisions about whether he stays at MSU. Maybe he’s afraid that Magic’s AID will come after him. Done will update as soon as Done can find an official transcript as Done would hate to misquote Mr. Izzo. John Calipari is the leading candidate to abandon his players to run to Kentucky.

Your current update on the Ballpark Bracket:

Yeah, I’m still boned.

Go Sox.
