I never really understood what Doc meant by the whole “Morrow has the rhythm of a starter” thing until last night. Dude staked out his territory (the mound) and owned it all night.
Ya. "Rhythm" might sound like an empty cliche, but it is not. It's often a key difference between the franchise athletes and their supporting casts.

A day we've waited for, for quite a while.
Let's see if one month's worth of Brandon Morrow can change Chucky's (and some other guys') minds about 2009. Let's see if the sudden realization that they have three aces causes a tectonic shift in the conversation.

Dr. D's glass is half full, and he's not pouring it over Matty's head. :- ) He's pouring it onto the burning cinders of a fanbase that has melted down and given up. On next year.
Chill, amigos.
The math isn't any different on a Hold 'Em raise or call, if you're playing for matchsticks, or playing with black casino chips. The math is the math.
Captain Tom Franklin is a friend of the family. Have had the chance to sit and talk World Series poker with the dude. Like any other pro, he will tell you that if you would play differently with $400,000 on the table than you would play for matchsticks — you have a problem.
And it's a guts problem, not a math problem. :- )

Many have seen the excellent Brad Lefton article on Ichiro and Johjima. Lefton has a solid understanding of the sempai concept and definitely gets the flavor across.
The sempai/kohai concept has been a favorite area of study for 20 years. D-O-V thoughts? Have been, since the 2006 season collapsed, that the sempai concept should be the third-most important item on the 06-07 offseason list.

Seibu Lions righthander Daisuke Matsuzaka still hopes to pitch in the major
leagues this season even after his Japanese League team rejected his request to
leave earlier this week.A major-league source said Yankees officials were severely disappointed

leagues, though not as disappointed as Matsuzaka, 25, who recently hired agent
Scott Boras to help him realize his dream to play baseball in the United
States.The interest in Matsuzaka is widespread from numerous major-league teams,"
Boras said yesterday. "If he were posted, he'd be one of the premier pitchers in
the big leagues because of his age and velocity."
