A FEW RANTS, A FEW LAUGHS

***LOFTON STILL A FOOL***
When he was with the Yanks, he was upset because he didn't get to play centerfield and leadoff. Consequently, he complained bitterly about it, yet did nothing when he was given a chance. Instead of releasing him, they should have shoved him into the East River. Now he's still trying to hurt the Yanks by trying to talk CC out of signing with the Yanks. It appears that CC recognized him for the blowhard he is.

***PEAVY IS SMART***
He has refused to approve a trade to any American League team (where he'd be ordinary) and appears to want to go to a "pitchers park" where he'd be most effective. While you may frown at his courage, you have to give him credit for knowing his limitations.

***MOYER SIGNS FOR 2 MORE YEARS***
The man is 46 years old. He may be the most amazing athlete in sports today. Curt Schilling was always considered a better pitcher, but Picasner would take Moyer over "The Drama Queen" any day. And Jamie doesn't need a fake bloody sock to prove himself.

***THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC?***
Picaner doesn't understand this one. Multi-millionaire major leaguers risking their careers for what? Whats the point of this tournament? Can anyone tell us who won the last one? ...That's what I thought. The players make strange decision about who they play for. If, for example, you LIVE in Japan, and you play for Japan, okay. A-Rod says he's playing for the Dominican Republic. Why? He's lives in the USA. I don't think he can spell it, let alone find it on a map.
Well, go ahead, guys, risk your careers for nothing.

***A FEW AMUSING THOUGHTS***
Bill Simmons says Browns 'receiver' Braylon Edwards should be playing a position with a new name: Outside Dropper. It seems he's dropped 27 passes this year. Picasner has a question: Why do they keep throwing to him?

Bob Molinaro figured out that the Yanks will be paying CC approximately $6250 per pitch this year. I can see it now: "CC, how do you feel?" "I don't know coach, how many pitches have I thrown?" "Well, you're only up to half a million dollars so far." "OK, I can probably go another $90,000."

From Fark.com: "Off-duty firefighter saves man from choking. The Cubs and the Mets are in a bidding war for him."

Terry Bradshaw says his Mom is glad he works on FOX because it's easier to spell than ESPN.
