Sanchez most similar player at age 24 was Rudy York. At age 29, it’s Todd Hundley. Quite a tumble. Hundley had one super-charged season, but ended his career a .234 hitter…

Sanchez:
“I would like to blame the New York Yankees and all the coaches that tried to help me for destroying my confidence and ruining my life. They acted like I should try all the time.” …

Sudden thought:
What if almost all UFOs are advanced holograms?
It would explain the maneuverability, acceleration, and sudden disappearances… And it is earthly technology…

"Every hitter likes fastballs just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's how you feel when (Nolan) Ryan's throwing balls by you." - Reggie Jackson…

[Baseball] breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall all alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.
- A. Bartlett Giamatti…

Happy birthday to Jose Butto. Who? Yes, Jose Butto. He pitched 4 innings in his only appearance (a start) last year for the Mets, to 15.75 ERA.
I didn’t look to see how old he is. I really don’t care. I only care that his name is Jose Butto. Maybe some day he’ll Americanize that to, I don’t know, Assenmacher?…

Nine Important Facts To Remember As We Grow Older
#9. Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
#8. Life is sexually transmitted.
#7. Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
#6. Men have 2 motivations: hunger and hanky panky, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.
#5. Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
#4. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
#3. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
#2. In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
#1. Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.
