You should put them in a blender and drink them through a straw, dawg.

You've been on a roll lately.

Thought about a hotdawg joke, but that would've necessarily involved a bun.

Interesting predicament for a ballplayer if true.

Via Skype? How do you eat digital files? Or are your computer repair and replacement costs through the roof?

I am a Cold War Era man myself. No Skype for me.

Duquette and Buck certainly didn't seem to be counting BRob out for the season, though they're not counting him in, either. All we can do is be patient and hope.

Per Kevin Cowhed:

One source says Roberts is making steady progress and could be ready to play soon. Another says, no, he's had setbacks and it's still wait-and-see. Another says Roberts is so down about his recovery he's even thinking of retiring.

Doesn't sound encouraging for Roberts. I would not at all be surprised to see him retire.

Not to be a jerk, but is this even reporting? He has a "source" for every possible outcome and therefore can't be wrong? Yeah...ok.

Typiclal reporters. They say the Republican race for president has been so confusing. They say they are not sure what will happen and then predict what will happen.

Yeah, that's what we call ESPN reporting. Have someone vouch for each outcome and then highlight the guy who ends up being right.

I agree completely. But 2 of the 3 "sources" are bad news.

Yep, when anyone who even half pays attention has known that Romney will be the nominee since Christie decided not to run. But, they gotta reel in ads and indecision sells
