Brian in Billy Ball

I got a mention in today’s edition of Billy-Ball…
…But as Lowell would soon learn, this was not Japan, Toto, in the big leagues there are two pitchers in each game and the best may not be from Japan. As I was heading to the game last night I was talking with FOB-B, Brien Reich (the humping for his new book has officially started). Brian had the misfortune of attending Opening Day and watched his Mariners get creamed. Our conversation alternated between what a stiff Jeff Weaver is and what a treat it will be for me to see Felix Hernandez pitch. Oh yeah, everybody seems to have forgotten that the Mariners decided to contest the game last night and actually throw a pitcher against Dice-K, the Red Sox, and their doting fans. FOB-B, Bob of the women’s boutique “Float” who loves his Sox and knows his baseball seemed wary of Hernandez as well as we talked amidst the swarms in front of Fenway.
Billy-Ball is one of the most in-depth and entertaining newsletters/blogs devoted to baseball. Its written by my friend, Bill Chuck, who is, among other things, a certified baseball genius. You should subscribe today (and I am not just saying that because I was mentioned).
