Hey Derek, Meet Pumpsie!

I promised you a big hitter a couple days ago, and I have delivered. So here with a response to Derek's latest blog attempt is none other than legendary Sox fan, Pumpsie Piersall:

Mr. Dent, unlike your organization, we have depth on our "blog team" and when you write your blog there is a fight at the keyboard to see who will get the chance to answer you. Actually its very much like the Red Sox fighting at the bat rack when anyone of your pitchers, except Wang, takes the mound. Wait, if I remember correctly we spanked him the last time we played. So make that every one of your pitchers, especially Mussina.

Anyway Derek, do you serve cheese with your whine? It's early in the season and every team , no exception, suffers the injury bug. How you handle it is how you are judged. The Sox had the flu bug, no make that the plague! Our two top pitchers were on the DL along with the third baseman and right fielder. But the Sox didn't whine and are now on top of the American League East. By the way, I think Big Papi is starting to hit, don't you? You should worry about "Hankenstein" and your players before you wonder about Ortiz's batting average. That will take care of itself. As for your team Mr. Dent, I'm not so sure.
