Nope, just a guy with five dogs who reads a lot of Cormac McCarthy. I think horses are primarily useful for dog food and all-purpose contact cement, and spurs for keeping my Vivid Girls in line.

Are You kidding me!????? This guy should at least wear a mask when he robs someone like the Rangers of $3.5 million for doing nothing. He’s a massive fraud. Permission?? Huh? The only outs he records is when his team is out of the game. He never, ever gets anyone out with the outcome of the game on the line. He was terrible when he was 31 and He’s still terrible now. Numbers do lie. What’s his ERA with runners on in the 8th or 9th inning and his team is either tied or ahead? Really, go away Oliver. You must have pictures of Washington and a goat, because nothing can explain why he put you in game 6 of this year’s World Series, where you again FAILED to get a batter out. You walked the bases loaded, and we had a 2 run lead!!! Please take your wife’s blessing and go to Puerto Rico. Good Riddance

It was between this or cleaning out the gutters and the garage. Come to Wrigley, Darren!

I hope she had him microchipped in case he wanders off.

Oh, I think this is a fact. I still think Contreras is about 48-50. No joke.

And he might even be younger than Contreras for all we know.

If the Phillies don’t resign Madson, this could be a cheap, viable option for the Phillies to reinforce their bullpen, especially with doubts about Contreras’ health in 2012.
