next year? No kidding. We'll be happy with 82-85 wins. 2004-2005 was when JP said we'd be in contention, and in JP I trust.
If Hendrickson pitches like he did at the end of last year though, that would kick ass.
On that note, Sirotka can suck a lemon. He said he felt he owed the club something, and would sign a minor league deal with the Jays... and then the Cubs sign him. **** him. Anyway, I'll always remember Hendrickson for this conversation...
Me (At the skydome hotel): "Mr. Hendrickson, could I get your autograph?"
Hendrickson: "Sure"
Other kid: "I hear you played basketball"
Hendrickson: "Yup."
Me: "He played in the NBA for four different teams."
Kid: "Wow, you played in a LEAGUE?"
Hendrickson couldn't help but laugh at that...
and I say "kid" but he's 22.
He just doesn't have a job and hangs around the players hotels all the time trying to get autographs.
