Balfour speaks...

[OFFNY]

Let it f-ing GO! Balfour is GONE. History! He's in Tampa now. NOT ours. FORGET about him! Let this damn thread die!

JESUS H!

Seriously.

Worst case scenario? Every time there's an Orioles blown save, this thread gets bumped for a three-page whinefest.

Well, yes.

Now that it has been established that Grant Balfour can indeed speak, and that rumors of him being a mute are unfounded, perhaps it's time for the moderators to close this thread.

Grant Balfour - R - Rays

Grant Balfour said that he's going through a "dead-arm period."

Balfour got batted around by the Pirates on Saturday afternoon and allowed a three-run homer to Russell Martin. He believes he's going through a normal "flat arm" period of spring training.

Little early for that, Grant!

It's from all the times he had to pick up the nozzle at the pump to fuel that stupid truck of his.

If he is awful this year, I'll step up and eat some crow. I don't wish ill will on anyone but it would be nice if we were right.

I wonder if it has anything to do with what the Orioles Drs. found?

"I feel like I'm out there going through the motions sometimes," he said. "I find it hard to get pumped up for it when I probably should be. … I feel like I'm going through that period right now, too, with my arm. The first couple games it felt like it was coming out all right. Now it just felt a little flat, a little dead (Saturday), there's really not much in there."

I think you are being a bit conservative. It would likely be 10 pages for EACH blown save at the minimum!

Unless Balfour is crappy.
