After the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Marlins packaged together Mike Piazza and Charles Johnson like a discount meal deal, neither player has been the same since. Johnson promptly went hitless over two weeks. Piazza continued to handle the stick well, but was understandably shell-shocked. Even athletes who have not entered the professional ranks are affected by this mentality. If Oakland doesn't pick up Drew with its second pick, it would reflect bad management for both sides.
Most people find baseball slow and boring.
How much less enjoyable would it be without the Rob Dibbles of the world. The program was both entertaining and disturbing. It was great to see old hands Chris Berman and Bob Ley trading pop culture references and amusing asides with Dan Patrick. The moments they elected to relive, from Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey to the Denver Broncos' Super Bowl victory in January, were very choice. Wells' own perfecto - appropriate accompaniment.
