Let's Get Physical!
Damn, you people don't even let a guy finish his morning Cheerios and sports page before you start posting the news. But anyway, word is that J.D. Drew's physical may not have come out clean, and whatever issues popped up are delaying the formal consummation of his 5 year/$70 million deal with the Red Sox. As the article points out, it's no easy task given all the potential choices to try and figure out what part of Drew is on the fritz and who knows, it might not be that at all... but if you're a BoSox fan, is this how you wanted to start your weekend?
Hits, walks, breaks. That's our man.

“word is that J.D. Drew's physical may not have come out clean”
Word is the tests showed that Princess didn’t have any “Y” chromosomes in her body. The doctor was appalled when he discovered that she was sporting “one of each” down there, thus making her a hermaphrodite.

I wonder if this is a ploy by Boston to get out of the contract. Reality might have set in and they were saying to themselves “maybe it’s not such a good idea to give JD all this money for five years”. Boston might be trying to make a big deal out something minor.
Then again, JD is made out of toothpicks and paper-mache, so who knows what they found.
As The Skipper mentioned, I too will laugh my a*s off if they end up offering a 2 year 10 million deal with incentives. And if he doesn’t end up signing with Boston this is certainly going to kill any chance of getting a more lucrative contract. I guess those are the chances you take when you leave $33 million in guaranteed money on the table. SUCKA!!

I am sure it's nothing a squirt or two of massengale couldn't fix...

Maybe The Doctors Found Out That Her Highness Is Pregnant! There Is Speculation That Either Grady Little Or Julio Luggie Is The Baby Daddy! Someone Call Maury Povich!

Could Be BorAss Or Depo As Well. What A BadAss Show That Would Be! HaHaHa

I saw in this mornings paper, Daryl Ward signed with someone for 1.1 million. The guy couldn't even make it as a reserve in L.A.
MLB must be printing it's own money!

I understand famed lawyer, Gloria Allred, is going to file a lawsuit on behalf of the Princess.
Gloria claims that it was unfair to require a physical for J.D. during that time of the month.

Dodgerdog,
Good Lord!! That was CLASSIC!!!
Posted by: LoLo | December 16, 2006 at 04:14 PM
Andy B.,
Strangely enough, the team that signed Ward is the team that probably is printing its own money this offseason, the Chicago Cubs.

Wouldn't that be something!!! The three clients Borat had his mate Theo sign all turn into flops. Lugo, Drew and D. Maz},,,lol

it's getting BRUTAL in here...classic...just classic!!
Noting like a heavy flow moment to void a contract...
Posted by: grumpy3b | December 16, 2006 at 06:50 PM
Daryl Ward is still alive? Or was he just not cutting it in the Mexican Leagues?
Posted by: grumpy3b | December 16, 2006 at 06:52 PM
All this JD Drew bashing is unfair. He was perfectly healthy when he entered the examination room. It was the harsh physical contact from there which caused problems. The stethoscope was abnormally icy and caused frostbite on contact. The reflex hammer bruised muscle tissue and crushed tiny bones. We can only shudder to think of what resulted from the personal probing... although there are reports he was seen smoking a cigarette afterwards and has sent flowers to the team physician....

Lord only knows the trauma induced by Drs. Jelly Finger and Turnyer Headankoff.
Posted by: grumpy3b | December 17, 2006 at 12:49 AM
Maybe Drew sneezed and tore some internal organs...yup, that must of been what happened
Posted by: Hugo | December 17, 2006 at 01:31 AM
Michael,
That was damn funny. I can see the doctor hitting Princess' leg with the reflex hammer and shattering her knee-cap. Then Drew crawling on the floor and yelling like Rick James, "What am I going to do about my legs, Charlie Murphy??"

In other news this morning, the ChiSox just shelled out $3.65 mil over 2 years to sign Toby "I'm a Starter" Hall to be A.J. Buttinski's backup. Wonder if they have good room service at the Chicago Ritz Carlton?

Alex Rios' name is coming up as a trade possibility for Penney. What do you think?
Posted by: Fish Guy | December 17, 2006 at 12:52 PM
Report on ESPN.com says that the Red Sox want a 2nd opinion about the Princess' shoulder. It is scheduled for Monday. Rumor has it that she injured the shoulder while slinking in to a new, tight dress.
He'll sign anyway, but there will be some contract changes in all likelihood. Don't you love that she hasn't even played there yet and already there are problems?

FISH- WHERE DID YOU SEE THAT??? I'D TAKE THAT DEAL
IN A HEARTBEAT. NICE LOOKING YOUNG PLAYER.

StarG,
Here's the article:

I don't know if I'm in favor of that deal. I'd rather have an over stocked pitching corp, than an overcrowded outfield
Posted by: DodgerBlueBalls | December 17, 2006 at 04:25 PM
alex rios is fantastic. kinda cold second half last season. but awesome first half. where was this?
Posted by: joeshmofromcocomo | December 17, 2006 at 05:28 PM
Read it on Buster Olney on ESPN site. Jays feel that they are deep in the OF, and after commiting to Wells, Rios might be available. I don't know enough about him.
