Wow. As part of Rays Day I totally forgot about Scott Kazmir.
If you have read anything on this blog you don’t have to guess what I think about the Kazmir trade, it’s the same as everyone else.
More on the Rays here…

More Apple distraction. They are getting us mentally ready for a new Apple. We want this Apple. Note the wag-the-dog in this article from mlb.com. Like the Apple is going to dissolve if someone sticks it on a flat-bed truck. Can someone come up with a picture of the Apple being used at Ebbett’s field? Maybe that will work. Also interesting is that’s it’s OK if someone buries a Yankees jersey.
NEW YORK — Citi Field may have a something-less-than-new component.
The Mets’ new home next season may have a piece of their current home — the Apple. No matter what, a home run apple will be installed just beyond the outfield wall — as it is at Shea Stadium — but this one will be left of center. And according to Mets COO Jeff Wilpon, it hasn’t yet been determined whether the old one can handle the move or whether a replacement will be necessary.
Ah, apple turnover.
Wilpon said the Mets haven’t guarded against some unscrupulous soul placing a piece of opponents’ paraphernalia at Citi Field as someone supposedly did with the new Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees, knowing precisely where to dig, removed a David Ortiz T-shirt from under a block of cement at their construction site in April.
“And as soon as they did, what happened?” Wilpon said. “Ortiz started hitting, right? He’d been in a slump, and then boom, as soon as they dug it up.
“We’ll just let it stay there.”

Things like this make me mad:
Chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said the outfield of the US$800-million ballpark, scheduled to open next year, was “somewhat evocative of the Polo Grounds.”
No Jeff, it’s not. If it is then Camden Yards is. Your dad thinks you’re the Dodgers.
