I made it to home and back in one piece, despite a very solid effort from ATL to leave me stranded in Joy'ja. See, after my flight from Charlotte arrived at 6:15pm, I checked the flight schedules, and turns out the 4403 to Wilmington is delayed from 6:50 to 7:51. I go to the proper gate just to make sure. Yep, it says the new departure time is 7:51. I take a semi-long walk to Popeye's and notice the long line. Then I just get this feeling. Honest to God. It was a feeling that, considering the long line, maybe I should go back to my gate in case I really don't have all the time that I've been told I do. So I go all the way back and, sure enough, the new new departure time is 7:05. WTF? You can't just move up the departure time by 46 minutes!
Naturally, there was several late arrivals, including the girl next to me who got on board right before the flight attendant locked up the plane. There was also three empty seats behind me, probably meaning three people will have to wait until tomorrow to get back to the Land of Tax-Free Shopping.

YEAH DEACS!!!
I still don't get why Boston would suddenly want to deal Manny. If recent contracts show he's getting more affordable, I'd think Boston would want to keep him b/c it would be getting harder to find a replacement on the market. And trust me, JD Drew is not the guy you want hitting behind Ortiz. Or in front of. Or really even in the same lineup.
...and is it just me, or is it downright wrong that a pitcher with a CAREER ERA of 4.40 is going to be making $8 million a year? (Adam Eaton)
did Theo start this with the Dice-K bid? Or maybe he just anticipated the market. It's probably a combination of both, but I'd say mostly the latter.
Why is it bad to have JD Drew in the same line-up? I would endorse him as the new Boston RF and 5 hitter.
I am not for trading Manny, but am willingly to change my mind based on what Boston would get in return. I really hope he doesn't go the Giants, because they have nothing aside from Cain, who is untouchable. If he were to go to the Dodgers for Billingsley and the younger LaRoche, I wouldn't be against it.
