Big Boy Fix


Earlier this season, when Lyle Overbay was struggling, people were calling for his head and wailing (wailing) for Brett Wallace to be called up. "When is Wallace coming up? Why isn't he here? Lyle sucks, why are we stuck with Lyle? Oh my God, Breeeeeeeetttttttttttttt. He's our future."

Well, Alex Anthopoulos showed you, didn't he, suckers? (By the way, when the AA Era is over, can we get a GM named Brown or Smith or something. I just learned how to spell Ricciardi, now I have to learn Anthopoulos. It's all about the placement of the 'u'.

I can't say I understand this trade. It's seemingly out of nowhere and maybe a little scary. But for some reason, I think we'll be ok.


For those still looking for a big boy fix in the absence of Wallace, Travis Snider has been called up to probably, perhaps sit on the bench. "I'm happy to be on the bench or in the starting lineup. I'm just happy to be here." Stay golden, Trav. And maybe reclaim your favourite spot in the dugout.

I can't tell you how much the whole ARod stuck at 599 story pleases me. He is probably tightening up and pressing and doing all the things he loves to do.
