Not to worry, you know Drayton will never allow that.  That's just ESPN being stupid and lazy again.

You're right. mlb.com roster hasn't given him a number yet.

I'm sure they just filled in spots from last years form, and No. 7 was an open slot.

ETA:  For example, they also have both Bourn and Pence as No. 9.  Just filling in empty spots.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Opening Day?

Maybe not, as Drayton will want to use this to generate a full house on a day when he wouldn't otherwise get one.  Like Chris Burke hollow bat day.

It'll be another way to fill the stadium in August. Like Baggy's this past season.

True, but I think wadesmith expect to still be in the central race/WC mix in August 2008.

Even if it's true, that doesn't mean that they won't be looking for more ways to put asses in seats.

Which is why they'll schedule it for early August instead of September. McPlanepura had the same expectations in August 2007.

All you need is as much Yvette in the booth with the radio guys for that.  Or another ausmus promotion would do the trick.

Isn't Yvette gone this year?  Those are some numbers that should be retired.

I think she was gone just from August '07 to August '08. She'll be back.

Today's show is brought to you by the letter "D", and the number "38".

Maybe she's getting her doctorate in Bobblehead Theory.
