I saw that. I don't think it's going to be a big deal, but I bet the Angels sit him down and talk to him about it.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.
The Angels didn't know that Francisco Rodriguez was pitching in winter ball until Monday, and they weren't happy to learn about it from Kelvim Escobar. They would have known four weeks ago if they had been reading RotoWorld. The Angels had suggested Rodriguez skip winter ball, since he pitched 86 innings during his first full major league season and had experienced occasional arm trouble during his minor league career. GM Bill Stoneman said he would investigate but acknowledged the Angels cannot prevent Rodriguez from playing. Source: Los Angeles Times
Kelvim just got there and already he's ratting on his new teammates? I bet he's the one who told on Pascual Coco for stealing form the Jays' locker room least season. But still, you would think the Angels would have known about this earlier...

Good job K-Rod! It's nice to see a player who loves to play. Unlike, say, David Wells spending the off-season expanding his waistline or Manny--I bet Manny's not playing any winter ball. At least K-Rod is spending his off-season washing his car...
Bluto: Over? Did you say over? NOTHING is over until WE decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL, NO!
Otter: Germans?
