Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Wednesday, October 21, 2009Don Fehr gets a severance packageDon Fehr's severance package comes in at about $11 million. He made $1 million a year for the past decade or so, which is way below his worth based on what he does and who he tangles with on a day to day basis. His work has put hundreds of times that amount of money into the pockets of the players he has represented. According to the article, the players had no problem agreeing to pay him his dough. My Morning in ExileI don't have anything snarky to say about Steve Phillips' situation. Some bad judgment on his part has led to an ugly and possibly scary situation, and that's no good for anyone involved, whatever their foibles. But man, if the dude was going to get kicked off ESPN for a week, you'd at least hope that it would be during a week in which he was scheduled to broadcast a game . . . Thanks for all of the kind words and constructive criticism in last night's thread, everyone. I try to do whatever I can to get better at this stuff, and you're all a big help in me doing so. And That Happened: ALCSYankees 10, Angels 1: I-95 Series here we come. As the geniuses out there predicted, CC was studly on short rest. As has been the case all postseason, A-Rod was huge (3-for-4, two-run homer, three runs scored). Man, that umpiring. Calling Swisher out on the tagup play was an obvious makeup call. Of course, like the unwritten rules, umpires say there are no such things as makeup calls, so we should probably ignore it, right? I guess we can just be thankful that it didn't have an impact on the ultimate outcome of the game. Pointless day off today. Burtnett vs. Lackey tomorrow. Philly vs. New York, hell, sometime around Thanksgiving, I think. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
