Brad:
 
  You mean Johnny Damon's horse's head.  And why won't you call me back so that I can make you an offer you can't refuse, before the Riptorns end up sleeping with the fishes.

P.S. to Kerber:  Brad meant "women's rhythmic gymnastics," not just gymnastics.  Just in case that matters come trade time...

	Upon further reflection.....Was MLB dumb to enact its current drug policy?  Will it end up killing its own business by suspending high-profile guys like Ramirez (and praying that Pujols never gets caught)?  Would it have been better off with a touch of sanctimony and nothing more, and letting players take whatever they want as they did before?  And why is it that baseball as a sport gets singled out for steroid "abuse" and not football (or women's gymnastics for that matter)?  I don't get it.   But if Manny really took a sexual performance enhancer, wow, that was one expensive ride.   
	 
	And an aside to Mark Blocker: now you must resort to leaving mocking phone messages?  How much more must I concede to you?  What's next--a beheaded Johnny Damon action figure on my pillow?
