Ohhhhhh Mike Timlin and Bryan Corey. I just can't put my feelings for you two into words.
It was great last night when Don Orsillo mentioned that the Devil Rays have one of the best bullpens in the major leagues. It once again highlighted Theo Epstein's inability to build a bullpen. It's the one thing Theo can't do, and year after year the bullpen just, I don't know, scares me when they come in. Sometimes they can be lights out, sometimes they just suck.
I think Timlin last night proved that he needs to remain as the admiral and only the admiral. If you don't know what I'm talking about, the Red Sox bullpen is a drum line of sorts. They like to think of themselves as pirates, and they even have a pirate flag hanging in the corner next to Papelbon. Delcarmen is the leader of the band, seats are assigned, Timlin is like the captain and David Aardsma is quickly catching on with keeping the beat.
Back to Bryan Corey for a second . . . WHY? Why did the Red Sox bring him back? Theo, W T F. Seriously. This guy didn't suck enough during the first week of the season? Why not just bring up Craig Hansen, trade Corey for anything (like really, a couple of hot dogs would do the trick) and cut all ties?
This situation best be taken care of by Tuesday. I'm going to the game that night (barring a rain out) for my 18th birthday (which is Monday, April 28th, Red Sox tickets and cash are highly appreciated). Then, Saturday, my dad got tickets for me, my mom, him, and four family friends to go to his office's luxury box at Fenway. His office has had a luxury box at Gillette Stadium for a while, and I've been there many times, but this is the first year they have seats at Fenway. I'm pretty psyched for something new. After that, it's AP exams on May 8, 9 and 14 in Literature, English Language, and European History. Funnnnn. Then it's graduation and I'm DONE!
I have to go prepare for Clay Bucholz's Adventure in the Majors: Part VII tonight. Adios.
