He tried to explain his rationale for strying to steal a base and then missing 1/5 of the season, but doesn't have a leg to stand on.<br /><br />A Rod called Wright last night to tell him how to stay healthy as you get old.<br /><br />That injury update was painful to read. Maybe Parnell cannot be as good as Jack Leathersich in 2015.<br /><br />As much as I want to see Thor pitch tonight, i want to see him blast a homer onto the streets of Chicago.
