Where there are mothers, there must be some kids.

In praise of the kids!

I've heard of Haren

Are these other four guys the ones that Torii Hunter says are inexpereinced and causing all the woe this season?

So did anyone else catch the Torri interview

At the start of the cleveland series? He was on AM 830, and he was praising the youngsters. It’s like he made it a point to give them a shout out. Were his comments on the youngster hating earlier taken out of context, Or was he on damage control?

Bartolo Colon is so dreamy!

I think it was out of context.

The original quote was out of context... YES

I love this team.

Scary, huh?

With the young ones it’s hard to tell if they are just on a statistical run, or are sustainably this good.

Either way, they’ve been damn fun to watch.

Those darn rookies with their inexperience and all.

This team is all suckiness without those hallowed veterans Wells and Mathis.

I'd add to the list

I don't know about that yet.

He’s definitely shown his mettle by pitching out of trouble. The problem is that he has more walks than k’s. And through 6 games he has a WHIP of 1.5. Small sample size? Maybe. But his walk numbers in the minors were a bit of a concern as well.

NOT MY QUINNY!!!!
