Wow. The Sox just signed John Olerud to a minor league contract. Olerud played first base for the Yankees last year; he hurt his foot during the ALCS and ended up having surgery. So he's gonna need time to get back in shape, and then who knows? Something happens to Millar, Olerud and his batting helmet may well end up on first base at Fenway. Weeeeeeird.

Whee, Tom Caron just called Bondo a "tough way to start." THAT'S RIGHT, FEAR MY BONDO.

Speaking of who's pitching tomorrow - we don't know who's pitching for the Sox tomorrow. Gee, I sure hope they get around to that before game time. And I hope we don't have to lose Youk again to make room on the roster. Can't we ditch Vasquez? He's hurt and Youk is way better anyway.

Oh, Christ. Well, that's another Sox player for me to make fun of, I suppose. Like I didn't have my hands full with Boomer and Damon.

You can never have too many Sox players to make fun of. They all ask for it at some point. Of course, most of them don't make targets of themselves by, say, wearing their batting helmets for the entire game, but they all have their moments.

Well, to be fair, Olerud has to wear it. I can't make fun of him for things he has to do for health reasons.

I can, however, make fun of him on general principles.

[remindmeofthe.livejournal.com]

Wait, he does? I was not aware of that. Why?

[maggiesox.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He had a pretty severe aneurysm when he was younger, and he has to wear it because he runs the risk of like, death if he gets hit in the head with a ball when playing.

Oops. Okay, if you'll excuse me, I have to go follow up this moment of genius by making fun of Jason Johnson's insulin drip. *headdesk* (Sure, I didn't know, but I still feel kinda stupid.)

Hey, I didn't know either until I cracked on him in a bar and was met with horrified stares, so don't feel bad.

[remindmeofthe.livejournal.com]

Eek. *sympathy cringe* That does help, thanks. *g*

[littlestclouds.livejournal.com]

Haha I was wondering what that thing was too, when he first came around. I thought it was a pager or something >.>

[remindmeofthe.livejournal.com]

And I totally assumed that Olerud was just paranoid or superstitious or something, so I guess that makes us even in the Makes An Ass Out Of U And Me category. *g*

[littlestclouds.livejournal.com]

Ha, me too. I had no idea why he wore his helmet like that. I thought it was dorky >.> Now I know . . .
