Nice work, Vince.

The game was interrupted for about 10 minutes. When play resumed, there were only three umpires on the field. During the fight, third base ump and crew chief Derryl Cousins was hit in the knee by a bottle full of soda that he said was thrown from the stands.

Maybe we can all add this to the list of things we can honor everything Yankee.

Funny fight, otherwise.

He belittles himself, states that he sucks repeatedly, thinks he's failing as a starter (because he is, of course). Makes absolutely no excuses or anything.

On the one hand, he's doing a horrible job as a starter. On the other hand, it's refreshing to see a major leaguer man up when making a mistake and stop blaming it on stupid shit like "just a mistake pitch."

He's still young, has a powerful arm... hope his confidence isn't shot enough where he can't remember how to pitch like the ~3.50ERA reliever he had been most of this year.

Well, this should be interesting. I don't think Trax is going to be around much longer.

I'm still a Trachsel fan though.

Congratulations, Sean Deveney of the Sporting News. You are the Perez Hilton of major league baseball.

And who would have guessed it: Twins, Athletics, and Marlins so far?

Great story, sounds like a funny guy. Any other interesting/funny guys around the league? Other than Manny.
