There has been a lot of talk about all of the money being paid to Peavy this year. Now he is going on the DL, seems his shoulder hurts. Some talk shows claim it may not be that bad. Some of you out there may not be old enough to recall a tall pitcher for Houston, that had a great career ahead of him. Then he came up lame. A lot of the Houstan fans got on him pretty heavy about having no heart. It was later it was found that J.R. Richards was indeed hurt. He tried to pitch through the injury but couldn't. If Peavy can get his arm repaired he will be as good as ever.
About retirement. Looks like Pedro may give it up after 2008. Might as well, he has has some great years and is a shoo in for the hall of fame. Mike Piazza also has announced his retirement. His stats read .308 lifetime average, .377 on base percentage. Slugging percentage .545. Possabily the best hitting catcher to play the game. Some will say Bench, Tom maybe Yogi. Speaking of retirement, I really think that John Elway did it right, back to back Super Bowl rings. Why stay around and get beatup. Get out so you can enjoy life.
Here is some "did you know", now this information and a $1.50 will get you a cup of coffee at IHOP.
