THE OLD GUYS!

I thought this year would be the year for the older pitchers.  It will probably be their last year, so why not make it a good one.  Wakefield and Timlin look great!

Curt on the other hand is hurting. I saw him on an interview and he sounded a little bitter that the Red Sox said no to surgery right now.  I know he has had two previous surgeries on that shoulder and now his doctor thinks he needs another. ( I think I would retire before I let them cut my shoulder again. ) I have to give him a lot of credit.  I know how tough it is to come back from shoulder surgery.  And the thought of throwing a ball makes me sick to my stomach.  But, he is tough, he is a professional and he wants to play ball.  Maybe they should let him have the surgery.  It would either get him back on the mound or force him to retire.
