Early in the season there were a lot of stories about jobless Redman practicing in his basement during the offseason, just on the off chance that some desperate team would pick him up. Apparently he’d constructed a pitching mound and painted a backstop down there. <\/p>\n

You know what? I think that was a lie. Did his wife actually go down there and check, or did Redman keep the basement door locked? Cause he looks a lot like someone who spent his offseason in a basement, but not necessarily practicing pitching. More like playing World of Warcraft, eating cheetos and watching Cartoon Network. <\/p>\n

Just to make me hate this guy a little more, he was partly to blame for Heap hurting his finger again<\/a>:<\/p>\n

McCann escape[d] serious injury on April 22, when he was hit on the same finger with a pitch. He has since worn a protective guard around the finger.<\/p>\n

But one inning before being struck by Barajas’ bat, he had removed the guard because it was hindering him while attempting to catch Redman’s cutters<\/strong>. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Replace “cutters” with “crap” and you’ll have a more accurate description of what happened. Poor Heap; I’m really hoping he’ll be okay to catch today, because I think Chuckie needs him, but based on the articles about what happened last night, I’m not getting my hopes up. Pena claims he’ll be alright, despite getting knocked out, which was scary. What an awful game. <\/p>\n

For now, I think the Vulch should be promoted to the starting rotation. At least he can eat some innings. Redman just needs to go back to eating cheetos in his basement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
