2007 Photo Outtakes: Albert Pujols Is More Limber Than I Am
2007-12-18 21:16
 This exercise doesn't look so hard in theory, but I've been fighting a hip strain for the last couple of weeks. This is to me like a picture of chocolate to a dieter. But at least my hip has only a strain, and not a torn labrum. The only good news about Chad Gaudin's need for hip labrum surgery is that it totally explains his struggles in the second half of the season. He's a better pitcher than his final numbers indicate.

MLB Heavyweight Champion
If MLB champs were decided like boxing: beat the champ, and you're the champ.
The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion. The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

About the Toaster
Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development. For more information, please visit the Fairpole blog, or read the FAQ. |
This presumably has something to do with being a groundball-oriented guy who lost the ability to get the ball down in the second half (but still had good enough stuff to manage a pretty decent strikeout rate).
Having a similar foot problem, all I can say is he must have been really in pain pushing on that foot -- he's fortunate the hip is all he tore.
