Last two games for Doug Mirabelli:
* 4-8
* 2 runs
* 4 RBI
* 2 home runs
Dougie is on pace to demolish his career high in home runs, which should be 10, but those fucks in Toronto cheated him out of #10 at the end of 2004. Clearly, Dougie remembered that last night at SkyDome, Rogers Centre, or whatever they’re calling it this week. Then he went to high-five Manny Ramirez and Manny thought Doug was cocking his arm to punch him, so he hid under the bench for the rest of the inning.
Anyway, as Dougie goes, so go the Red Sox. Doug had a sub-par year in 2006 and the Sox wilted. Doug is on fire this year (as is his boss Tim Wakefield) and the Sox are looking good. Just one question, with Nomar gone, does that leave Coco as Dougie’s de facto urine recepticle?
The question is, though.. should I add Dougie to my Fantasy Team? Is this his ‘breakout’ year?
How many more times this season are we going to have to watch Coco Crisp do his superman catch from last June (currently being replayed an average of 10 times per game). He says, “I would rather have the game winning catch than the game winning home run.” Well…based on his batting average since last June, it looks like he got his wish! Also interesting that he seems to have some very Nomar-esque traits at the plate…so I am very curious to see what he shows us this season.
