Time to End Retirement

Hey, it's summer. I've gotten lazy. Lazier than usual. I'm not here to make excuses though. It's time to get back to blogging on a regular schedule, and back in that rhythm that was making this thing work.

Sure, it's that time of year post-NBA Finals/Stanley Cup where it's nothing but baseball, baseball, and more baseball. But did you know that since my last post on June 20, JD Drew is batting exactly .200 (8 for 40), with one (1) extra-base hit?

So while I should end this blogging retirement, JD should accelerate his and just retire right now rather than at the end of the season. What exactly do the Red Sox owe him (other than another $7 million or so on his 5 year, $70 million contract)? There's no loyalty issues here. He was a hired gun, and while you can make the case that lots of these Red Sox are hired guns, JD Drew is a super-soaker to Adrian Gonzalez's AK-47. Bring on the Josh Reddick/Ryan Kalsih in right field era, and bring it on now.

In other news, I'm back on the airwaves tonight after a one-week hiatus for the 4th of July. Probably touching on the MLB All-Star Game tonight, and how it needs just a bit more tweaking to make it a big event once again. Tune in to 95.9-WATD (FM) at about 9:00 tonight. We'll see ya there.
