Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Thursday, October 01, 2009Comment of the DayVaritek’s pitch calling ability is the stuff of myth, legend, and outright fiction. And as of right now, he can’t do ANYTHING. Can’t hit, can’t throw, can’t block pitches, can’t run. If I forgot something, just assume that he can’t do it. There’s an argument to be made that he is the worst player in the majors who still gets regular playing time. And he’ll make the postseason roster because, hey, he’s the CAPTAIN. -- Jeff Berardi, in the Quote of the Day thread. Please, no one make a great comment in this thread. I think that if you have a comment of the day in a "Comment of the Day" thread you go back in time or the universe collapses in on itself or something. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 4:38pm Comments

Just reading that description of Varitek made me think of the 2009 Cleveland Indians. Posted 10/01 at 05:08 PM

So, instead of being “five-tool” would that be “no-tool?” “five stool?” Posted 10/01 at 05:49 PM

Willie Mays, Mets, 1973 NLCS and World Series: Three singles, no walks, 16 innings in center field, two putouts, one error. See, these things happen. Posted 10/01 at 08:13 PM

Here’s a list of players who qualify for the batting title and have contributed less to their teams than Varitek. The ones at the top are with out question worse than him, the ones at the bottom are arguable. Yuniesky Betancourt Posted 10/02 at 12:17 AM

Only if you post this over at NBC, the odds of which (making a comment more insightful) are about the same as Richard Simmons being mistaken for a Chippendale’s dancer.
