SORRY - FORGOT MY KNEEPADS

***TYLER KEPNER?***
Tyler Kepner, having no real knowledge of baseball, always has the time to come up with some statistic that proves whatever point he decides to make that day. Picasner had already read the article which Vod was kind enough to include here. As you might have guessed, Picasner disagreed with Tyler or he would have mentioned him in the previous post. I would have ignored this completely, but I saw that it was from the NEW YORK TIMES, which Vod holds in high esteem. So, out of respect and admiration for Mr. Kanockers, I respectfully dispute Tyler Kepner's diagnosis.

Posada is not back of the plate for his defense, just as Molina is not there for his offense. While his skills have eroded ("you can say that again - Annie-O"), he is still serviceable, and disagreeing with the way he calls a game, does NOT keep pitchers from throwing the ball over the plate. Besides, other teams call all the pitches from the dugout. The Yanks could do that if Posada is really that bad.

***OKAY, THEY CAUGHT ANOTHER ONE**
Sammy Sosa is the 2nd player disclosed as having failed the "secret" drug test of 2001. Two points here: #1 - If you can discover two names, why not all of them? #2 - All this is doing is making everyone suspect. At least we can keep Selena Roberts busy. Maybe this book will sell more than 10 copies.
