THAT'S WHY THEY GET THE BIG BUCKS

No sense in rehashing last night's game, so let's look at some comments by the people who know the game the best: the sportswriters. (Yeah, right!)

#1 "CHIEN-MING WANG MAY OR MAY NOT BE READY THIS WEEK" (Tom Puma, NY Post)
What? You know he's right.

#2 "JOBA CHAMBERLAIN HAS 0% CHANCE OF MAKING THE HALL OF FAME"
(Bob Matthews, Rochester D & C)
Guess there's no point in finishing your career, Joba, even though you're only 24. So if he ends up with 320 wins or 500 saves, he's never going to get Bob Matthews vote.

#3 "JOHN SMOLTZ GOT MARRIED & TOM GLAVINE HAD A BABY" (Buster Olney, ESPN)
My question: why are these two items in the same headline? One can only hope they're not related.

#4 "KEITH FOULKE IS PITCHING IN THE ATLANTIC LEAGUE AND SOMETHING DOESN'T SIT WELL WITH HIM" (Stan Grossfeld, Boston Globe)
Yeah, he's pitching in the Atlantic league. Didn't that jump right out at you, Stan? (He's also wearing a Yankee unform. Maybe that's it)

#5 "RON GARDENHIRE MET WITH HIS PLAYERS"
Ron, this Joe Mauer, this is Justin Morneau, etc. Question is, do the players know Ron?
