I am sure this video will be taken down soon, but enjoy it while you can.
We always thought he only threw one pitch, now we know he throws 2 pitches. The splitter and the spitter.

A Bard's Tale

"I'm not feeling very good right now. This ending is not how we would have planned it, obviously. This team was too good to get swept in the first round. But that's baseball sometimes. They pitched really well and got some timely hits. Two outs, bottom of the ninth, we were all on the top step of the dugout. I'm standing next to Manny Delcarmen. We're waiting to get out there and give each other high-fives out on the mound. I think 99 times out of 100 the game is over right there with Pap on the mound, maybe more than that. For it to end like that is tough."-- Daniel Bard

Paul Byrd on the Playoff Roster?

"I may be the 'Comeback Postseason Roster Player of the Year," quipped Byrd. "Or, 'The Least Likely Player To Make the Postseason Roster.' I would wear that with pride."

Listen to me Beckett

I need you to stop giving up the long balls.

My Five Biggest Questions of the Series
October 5, 2009 |  9:47 pm

-- HOW MUCH WILL GUERRERO CONTRIBUTE? It is silly to argue Vlad Guerrero shouldn't be batting cleanup in the series. That debate is over. For whatever reason, Mike Scioscia isn't changing his mind. So now you have to wonder how much the former franchise player can contribute considering a) He's clearly no longer the All-Star he used to be, b) His free-swinging approach is always exaggerated when compared to the patience of Sox hitters and c) He's been struggling with inside fastballs all season and he's about to see a steady stream of excellent fastball pitchers. Oh, yeah, he's also had only two extra-base hits in 75 postseason at-bats for the Angels. Maybe that all changes this week, and he busts of out it big time. Maybe you and I hit the lottery tomorrow, too.
