Well, well, well... God is is in his heaven and all is Wright with the Knuckleball.

Operation Wake and Awe proceeds apace!

Bill:
I like Pinto's idea of having Wake travel the world to teach the Knuckleball.

Doug:
Yeah, I love the idea if by world you mean Boston, Pawtucket, Portland, Salem, Greenville, and Lowell.

Bill:
Ah, yes, the Fathahland.

Red Sox über alles!

Every time I see or hear his name, I cannot help but think of the standup comic Steven Wright. I would love to see this pitcher talk like that in a post-game interview, while slipping in a few of his namesakes jokes.

could be the same guy... check out the hat in his photo at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Wright

HB, you must be fishing for a comment about this Knuckle-head out there preaching to the Teutons. Wake WOULD make a more dignified rep of USA, no?

Have you seen the "reality show" with Wake teaching a bunch of ex-quarterbacks how to throw the knuckler? Kevin Millar co-stars.

And no, I'm not kidding.

...as K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70's weekend just keeps on... truckin'.

[Harwich Rich]

I prefer Wake and Bake ;O

The joker in the deck is that Josh Booty the "Next Knuckler" is still Marlins "property", so all the D-Backs get is their name in lights.

I am still not feeling the love for the team. A bad case of chicken-based food poisoning.

You're supposed to wash it down with beer!

nice Josh Booty reference, I guess.

Steven Wright: "I have a hobby. I have the world’s largest collection of sea shells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you’ve seen some of it.”
