It's Rickey Henderson's Birthday!

I wish everyone a Happy December 25…

I tend to say “Merry Christmas” but some people find that offensive.

I could say “Happy Holidays” but then a whole other group will find THAT offensive.

I have little patience for anyone who would take offense to EITHER greeting, but at Sully Baseball we look to find peace and harmony.

So let’s all agree that on December 25 it is OK to say “Happy Rickey Henderson’s Birthday!”

Rickey was pretty awesome, will probably be elected to the Hall of Fame in a few weeks and with how he was kicked around at the end of his career, chances are he played a game or two for YOUR team.

So to all of my readers and friends out there in the strange internet world, let me say “Happy Rickey Henderson’s Birthday.”

And may you, like Rickey, become the Greatest… of all time!

Paul Byrd has injected God!

Byrd, who wrote a book about how his faith in Christ has helped him from cheating, failed to make it clear that by "Christ" he meant $25,000 worth of HGH and needles.

The apologists have come out saying "He needed it for a condition!" (Soon to be the go to for HGH users to replace "I thought it was flax seed oil.")

And what HMO does he have that doesn't pick up some of the $25,000 he owes on the prescription?

And the conspiracy theorists saying it was released on the eve of Game 7 of the ALCS and George Mitchell has ties to the Red Sox.

Now if the Red Sox win and it is announced that Matt Holliday, Todd Helton and Kaz Matsui are on the juice, I'll listen.

But none of that changes the fact that he bought $25,000 of HGH and has been kinda sorta quiet about it.

Isn't it always the loudest Bible thumpers who are hiding something?
If I were the FBI I would put a tail on anyone who proudly professes their love for Jesus.

That's not a call for our conversion... that's a public "Are we cool Jesus? Sorry for F---ing up so badly!" plea for mercy.

Oh well.
I hope it isn't a distraction.
