Well, its not deja vu for Small, since he was our 10-0 lock last year, but its still early, and its only a hamstring. Pavano and Wright are perennial bench warmers...they have collectively spent more time on the DL than some major league players have spent on the field, in game.

But don't feel bad - the supposedly world-beating Mets just found out Pedro's toe is going to make him miss opening day and might put him on the DL. Oh. So sorry. :p

BTW - Nice win last night against the Red Sox, is it just me, or does Bernie look like he's in the best shape of his life? I haven't seen him this good since we were winning the Series' in the late 90's...

SB - thanks, although I realized afterwards I forgot Don Mattingly, Reggie Jackson...I purposely left out most of the new guys...but it is hard to find decent Spring Training pictures of either of those two coaches...dunno why.
