Can you imagine being a major-league vet who still hasn't gotten an offer to play with anybody this season? The Sox and the Rox are racing each other into the worst part of MLB's record books, and they're still telling your agent, "Yeah, we don't think your guy can help us."

We listened in the car on our way to a cookout and heard the first two HRs and a 4-0 lead. I was confident it was going to continue to be like that, which it was of course.

This may be something or nothing, but I saw this little tidbit from this weekend.


"For the first time in his seven-year career," Sammon wrote, "Alonso is using external help to assist him with research, digest data and create personal plans against pitchers. The information comes from people affiliated with his agent, Scott Boras, and from people at his Tampa, Fla.-based workout group, Diesel Optimization, among others. ...Every day before he leaves for the ballpark, Alonso goes over how pitchers might plan to attack him and what to look for in certain counts and situations. This work supplements the preparation Alonso does with the Mets."

... until the first time the data tells him to expect a breaking ball on the outside half of the plate and he gets a fastball in the cup instead.

But as long as it works, I hope he keeps it up.
