Serious Baseball News...

Editor's note: Dennis is apparently unaware of the ability to post things whenever he wants, and thus has let this post sit below that dumb ass Darth Vader photo for a few hours. I have fixed the glitch, as they say.


-- Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports hears that Stephen Strasburg will make his major league debut on June 8th against the Pirates.

Not mentioning the fact that Yahoo! (do they really need the "!" in their name? Dicks.) Sports is employing former NFL speedsters with questionable hands as beat writers/rumor mill operators, this bit of news raises eyebrows around these parts; but maybe not for the reasons the common reader might think. The projected debut of Mr. Strasburg (aka JC/DC) has been bantered about since the moment he was drafted, and this is about the 5th actual date I've heard in the past month. While 06/08 makes sense from both a contractual/financial and development/confidence perspective (most back slashes ever in a sentence not containing a hyperlink?), I think I speak for the entire G:TB staff when I say, "Stevie, let's push it back one more day."
