First
So what about the streak Teahen is on right now? There is an article in the star correlating it with his move back to 3rd. He says he feels a little more comfortable when he’s in the IF. Kind of a good problem to have when considering that we were close to wanting him released a month ago.

I mentioned that a few weeks ago and was
called incompetent.

Correlation does not equal causation
Teahen’s average has been running a bit low this year. I was hoping/expecting a nice September out of him.

I think they love him
they’re just not “in love with him.” They still have feelings for someone else, but they still really care about him, you know? They’re just not ready to start dating again…

that the Royals are that hot, alluring girl who just can’t seem to let you in, while the Red Sox are just the sort of okay chick who at least wants you?

DeJesus is a lazy punk
Went to the game and saw him dog it out in the field several times today. In particular on the looping fly ball to center that Gathright came running in on & just missed. DeJesus largely stood there watching, instead of running like hell to get behind in case JG couldn’t get to it. As a result the guy (Dye) got a double and nearly wound up scoring (but for a very nice catch by Gordon in Sox dugout practically).
