And here I was ready to blame it on a hangover.

David Wells is known not to enjoy daytime starts. And his appetite for beverages both fermented and distilled is well-established. In fact, he's freely admitted to pitching "half-drunk."

So, distressing as it was, it stood to reason that the guy gave up a five-spot in the first inning yesterday on four consecutive singles, a double, and then two more singles. Perfect game, this was not. He settled down for a few frames, but then gave up a homer to lead off the fifth, ending his four-plus inning outing with six runs on 12 hits.

As turns out, however, he's got a bad sinus infection and was feeling pretty pukey. So I take back all the unspeakable profanities I muttered to myself yesterday as the hits kept coming. Get well soon Boomer!

He wasn't the only one feeling less than 100%. Manny was feeling beat up. Again. So he got the day off. Again.

Would he have prevented us from grounding into FIVE double plays, including the one David Ortiz, representing the go-ahead run, fell victim to in the ninth? Nick Cafardo thinks so.

So we grumble. Again. But what more can we do? Manny is Manny. Just hope he's recharged his battery, and is ready to mash the first-place and formidable Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. (Not to be confused with the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles). We'll need him.

In the mean time, just remain calm. Luckily, the Yanks lost too. 4 1/2 it remains.

Etc.
Welcome back, John Olerud.

Hurry up, Hansen. You can't be worse than Remlinger. (Sorry, but it's true.)

Glad you'll be sticking around, Arroyo. Just put the guitar away for a while.

And thank you, Mark Bellhorn. You'll always be one of the 25. And we'll never forget this or this or this.
