Getting my first chance to watch a game this spring on tv. Hughes looked good his first inning. The Twins announcers keep talking about how slim Boof Bonser is this spring, too bad he still can’t pitch.

Those of you who don’t live in NY don’t really appreciate the depths of Loopy Lupica’s depravity. Today Loopy attacks Anthony Weiner, mentioned in this blog only a few days ago, because, the Little Guy maintains, Weiner’s views on Steroids and Clemens aren’t in the best interests of kids.

What’s the real connection between this story and Clemens? Richard Emery, who is Brian McNamee’s lawyer, is a player in Democratic politics in NYC and Albany, sitting on a special advisory commission to Spitzer. Also of note is that one of Emery’s law partners used to work for Spitzer and still maintains a government position Spitzer gave him. Mikey really attacked Weiner because Weiner failed to support NY Governor Eliot Spitzer on his ill-fated illegal immigrant driver license initiative, which died with a resounding thud. Weiner, a fellow Democrat, gave aid and comfort to Eliot’s political enemies by not strongly supporting Eliot’s agenda.

So that makes Mikey the very worst kind of hypocrite there is, someone who would use his column to swing at the enemies of his political cronies, like Emery and all the folks on Spitzer’s team, and have us believe that it’s about baseball and steroids. Mikey, you’ve sunk to a new low. Even for you.

I don’t know, maybe JG was a little more mad because our guy got hurt on the play, where otherwise he might have just said something about being a little more careful in spring training then let it go.

Normally it would have been a clean hit but still it was pretty a hard one to expect for a spring training game.

Yes, right or wrong there will probably be a Tampa player sporting a good sized bruise on Thursday morning. Hopefully nobody does something stupid.

In the past several years it did seem a few teams (one un-named rival team in particular) took for granted there would be no retaliation for certain dangerous actions when playing the Yanks. With New Joe’s tone on this one I wonder if that might change.

Again, hopefully nobody does something stupid.

If the Twins crew wasn’t talking about Bonser I wouldn’t have known who that was on the mound. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he lost at least 50 lbs. His face really changed.

Shelley rips one into left field. No dead arm for D. Young as he holds Shelley to a single.
