A New Pitch?
—
A new week of the Hot Stove Season dawns with this rumor: That Tim Wakefield will retire rather than pitch in 2009. If true, that leaves the Red Sox with a big hole -- you cannot replace a starter who consistently posts a 100-115 ERA+ over 200 innings with a salary of just $4 million. On the ...

Old Man And Young Girl Exchange Torch Using Only Their Knuckles
Walkoff Walk — ... and... retire at 42? That's the word on the street. Apparently Wake is having some shoulder troubles and is seriously pondering hanging it up. There isn't much to say about him that hasn't been said. I've never been his biggest fan but he always pitches when you ask him to. Something to be said for that I suppose. So if it's true, I wish Tim a room temperature congratulations and Eri Yashida says, "Sayanora, brobro. Thanks for the roster spot." (I owe an RC Cola to YFSF for the Wakefield tip.)
