My pre-release review of That First Season How Vince Lombardi Took the Worst Team in the NFL and Set It on the Path to Glory by John Eisenberg is available at Amazon.com here.
I seemed to like the book a lot less that the other reviews but I’m not much of a football fan, considering my take on the book in the review that is exactly the opposite of what I expected.
…it is Curt Schilling.
This Yankee fan would support him. This would be a political earthquake and I think he could actually win in Massachusetts, especially considering the motley crew sure to run for Ted’s seat.
I would not want to be the democrat running against him.
Update: Hotair’s Green Room picks up the story.
…was to leave the Red Sox and to face last place teams as often as possible:
Smoltz doesn’t care about the skeptics who point out his first starts have come against last-place teams. He struck out nine, including seven in a row, last Sunday at San Diego. The Nationals are 14-12 in August, with a shot at their first winning month since September 2007.
“People can say what they want about the Nationals maybe not having the best of years, but lately they’ve been swinging the bat extremely well, scoring in double digits every time you look up,” Smoltz said. “I was fortunate to keep them to one run.”
Smoltz has a 0.82 ERA after going 2-5 with an 8.33 ERA in Boston, leading to his release earlier this month.
All four of his wins this season are against teams in last place. He has also lost 3 games against basement dwellers. The combined record of the teams he has defeated this year is 206-318.
Will he manage to win against the big boys? Will the Cards choose to spot start him? Only the next month will tell.
Of course the the way the Mets are playing it doesn’t matter but that makes my trade look even better.
