Flavor of the Month: Hot Coco

Found May 08, 2007 on Red Sox Times:
PLAYERS: Jacoby Ellsbury,  Wily Mo Pena,  Johnny Damon,  Coco Crisp
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox,  New York Yankees

It's been no surprise to those of us watching the games that Coco has been recovering of late from a slower than slow start to the season. And I'll admit, my confidence in him waned and hit an all time low in mid-April where he stood with a .111 batting average, .179 OBP, and .167 slugging percentage. I just didn't see how he could pull it together. He seemed defeated and joyless. I'll also admit, I wanted to like him. I wanted a reason to root for Coco. There was such promise coming into last season and I didn't want to see that go to waste.

This guy is a joke. Obviously he'll opt for the surgery, and why not? he wants out of new york as much as the fans want him out. Naturally he won't gut it out as Pettitte has done his entire career.

Igawa optioned to Class-A??? This guy stinks, but who goes from the majors straight down to Class-A unless they're injured? As far as I know, there's no injury at play here. Yanks can crow all they want about Clemens - this is embarrassing.

New York's Cutest Couple

The Old Fart Is Back For the Price of a Small Country

Via The Sports Pulse  |  May 07, 2007
I thought Roger Clemens wanted to go to a contender. When you have more money than you know what to do with, what's the difference between a million or two per month? He could have gone to Boston to end his career where it started. He'd make that starting five the best in baseball. They have a legitimate shot to win the World Series.

ROGER CLEMENS' CORPSE TO JOIN YANKEES
