Let The Excuses Begin

Ah, you know baseball season must be getting close, as a Comical columnist has penned a major suck-up column.

All last season, we got to hear about the personal travails of the struggling Little Second Basemen With The Dirty Helmet (specifically, the death of his priest, not to mention former teammate Darryl Kile). One might have hoped it was done. But here's Dale Robertson today:

For some reason, he lost confidence in his judgment. The deaths of Darryl Kile and the priest who was a close friend might have caused Biggio sufficient emotional duress to disrupt his physical performance. That combined with the normal ravages of aging -- worsened by his having a recently rebuilt knee -- knocked him badly off his game.
Maybe. We'll soon see if that excuse holds, or if it's simply that The Little Backup Second Basemen With The Dirty Helmet simply isn't very good any more. Whatever the excuse, he was way overpaid last season for his production.

Speaking of which, a puff piece reminding us of Bagwell's shoulder injury can't be too far away.

*sigh*

And the last important football event (Letter Of Intent Day) took place today. No football for months and months. Waaaahhh.
