Greetings fellow baseball fans….I just wanted to pop on here to reveal my take on Jayson Werth. I have a few questions that I feel must be addressed immediately. I’m sure most of you know, but are we ALL privy to the fact that this guys uncle was none other than Dick Schofield? Um….huh? We all remember good ol’ Richard Craig Schofield…..career .230 hitter….in 14 seasons he hit a whopping 56 homeruns. In 1988, he played in 155 games, had 527 AB’s and managed to hit .239 with 6 homeruns and 34 RBI’s. I know I’m jamming stats down your throat, and I apologize…I just wanted to emphasize the fact that this guy was…well…..AWFUL. All while standing a listed 5’10″…..which c,mon, we all know was not true.
Meanwhile, his nephew, Jayson, is listed at 6’5″ and had 36 homeruns this year alone, not to mention the hitting display so far this post-season. Dick Schofield looked like he should be revealing a power point presentation filled with pie charts and mission statements in front of a long mahogany table…..while Jayson looks exactly like the guy that sold me my last air filter at Oil Can Henry’s.
Now, I would never be so presumptuous as to call anyone’s mom a whore, but I am definitely calling shananagans here. For Christ’s sake, Jayson once hit a “5th deck home run” at Rogers Centre in Toronto!Where are those genes coming from? The answer, my friends, is quite obvious….Jayson Werth and Dick Schofield are of no relation at all. I think we need to call Maury Povich and get this thing settled once and for all. That’s all.
P.S. Has anyone noticed the cute ballgirl down the right field line at these Phillies games? She’s not the greatest girl ever…..but I’m just thankful that Broadway Joe isn’t there to try and make out with her.

Let’s all make ourselves aware that the Yankees actually LOWERED their payroll this year from 2008….the amount of money the Yankees spend is always a tool used for jabbing them….and I suppose it’s an issue that cannot be completely ignored. However, in general, it’s a strategy that dosen’t really work. Yes, I am a Yankee fan….but they haven’t won the world series in almost a decade….although, it’s a pretty good recipe for making the playoffs. I mean, look at the Angels….their “winning ways” are directly attributed to their major payroll bump. Free agent signings of Torii Hunter, Vlad, Juan Rivera, Gary Matthews, Jr. and Bobby Abreu are a big reason for where they are now. By the way, as a side bar, what the Angels did to Bobby Abreu is unbelievable to me. He is worth so much more money…..the Yankees paid him what he deserved…the Angels, who could afford to pay him much, much more….took advantage of the “economy” and low-balled him when they knew he had nowhere else to go. Well, as it turns out, HE is your best player. Call the Yankees all the nasty things you want, but they take care of their employees…..in any other business they would be considered “admirable” for their generous actions….but not in baseball…in baseball, it’s used as a tool for fans of other teams to preface their playoff series so “just in case” they lose, they can take the “they spend so much money” thing as a consolation prize. I’ve watched the Angels kick the poop out of the Yankees in the post-season numerous times lately…and all I’ll tell everyone in orange county is “Congratulations!”. I expect the same from the Angel fans if the Yankees ever do beat the Angels….we’ll have to wait and see what kind of losers they are.

I can’t believe they started Pedro. And I can’t believe he’s pitching so well.
