With no Johnny Cueto pitching today, this is the type of post I'm reduced to ...

Chris Young, on facing Johnny Cueto

Statline: 
Golden Sombrero, 0-4, 4 Ks
Quote: 
How come none of these dumbass prospect watchers noticed this guy with a 21 to 2 K/BB ratio last year in Triple A?

How many strikeouts will Johnny Cueto ring up in his MLB debut today?

If you can find an owner who values him, don't be afraid to take the money and run.

Apparently throws in the 93-95 range, tops out at 97, with impeccable command.  Had a 22:2 K/BB ratio in Triple A last year.

Go get this guy.

Bret Boone: Tearing It Up at the Hotel Bar

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/larrystone/2004202235_stone26.html

"I think we get caught up in the party after the party," he said. "Not necessarily out carousing, but the drinking."

I'll tell you why he's coming back at 38:  he realizes that by passing on the "carousing," he missed the best part of being a degenerate professional athlete.   Drinking 12 beers at the hotel bar?  He's got his whole life to do that.

So What Do We Think of Pettitte?

It seems like he's one of two things.

1) Exactly what he claims:  a guy who made a mistake (or two), just wanted to get back sooner, contrite, flawed but--belatedly, and for the most part--honest.

2) A liar like so many others on this subject, and just smarter and more media savvy than Rogers Clemens, who stubbornly insists on denying everything instead of triangulating to a lesser-but-believable sin to cop to.

some kind of knee cartilage thing ... this one's for you, JG.
