And we're, er, back....
Al:
So the fact that Dice-K actually communicated with the Red Sox ovah his "very mild" back strain should be seen as good news, right?
Mike:
I'll go with that spin.
Doug:
Seriously. And as much as I miss baseball, it's just too damn early for the Matsuzaka blues. I mean pitchas and catchas haven't even officially reported yet.
Mike:
Absolutely. I've gotten used to Dice-K's injuries occurring deep into the season, and, dammit , that's how I want things to stay.
Al:
Do I smell a haiku or two?
Doug:
Just a mild strain,
Then suddenly another —
Summertime mourning.
Mike:
Yet still we hope...
Mike:
For high-priced pitcher,
There's nothing left unbroken,
But our deep longing.
Daisuke's slight ouchies
Come early this year; is he
renting a sunrise?

Dice-K's story spun
Like a gyroball in flight
It reaches new lows.

I so enjoy the haiku days around here. (Yeah, I know, I should have put that sentiment that in haiku form!)

Nut up or shut up

I dreamed of spring grass
Still covered with bright blue lines
When the snow melted

I guess I don't get
the obsession with curling.
Did I miss something?

Tearing up competition,
