Sox play two; Wells offers culinary tips
This post is just a taste of what you will find at Sox and Pinstripes (http://www.soxandpinstripes.com), a web site and blog where readers discuss, debate and learn about all things Red Sox, Yankees and baseball. Visit Sox and Pinstripes to read more about the Red Sox from Jeff Louderback's perspective.
The Sox play two today. Curt Schilling takes the mound at Hammond Stadium against the Twins while Kyle Snyder starts at City of Palms Park against the Blue Jays. Snyder is fighting for a roster spot, and to remain with the Red Sox. As I mentioned yesterday, Snyder is out of options. The Sox must place him on the opening day roster or waive him. If they do the latter, another team will likely claim him. I prefer Snyder over Julian Tavarez. Here's an article about Snyder in today's Boston Herald: http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=187133
David Wells, wild game hunter
San Diego Padres pitcher David Wells has this culinary advice to offer after a three-week safari in Africa during the off-season:
"Ostrich was phenomenal. Warthog was outstanding. A little different taste, but it's really good," Wells explained. "Hardebeest, wildebeest, gazelle, all that stuff. Very, very tasty. It's just the zebra you don't want to eat. We shot them for bait. For lions."
In the Associated Press story, Wells talked about how the hiking helped him get in shape for spring training. He said he was cautious and alarmed about the prospect of being confronted by lions and poisonous snakes.
"I'd rather get eaten by a lion than get bitten by a snake," Wells said. "That's just an eerie thing because you're crawling in tall grass, so you're on all fours crawling, you don't know if one's right there."
I hope Snyder can do well and make the Sox. I like him. The question is will Tavarez EVER pull his weight? Hey, I have an idea; have you ever seen those "dunk the clown(or whatever)" games at carnivals? Maybe Theo could set up one of those. Dunk Tavarez. 3 tries for a buck. Would make his salary back.
Spent three weeks in Kenya many years ago. Spectacular place. Just happened that my roomate's father was a big game guide there. Glen Cottar, you can look him up. Quite a guy. Hunting was banned when I was there, but you could get some great pic's. Lions are sooo huge when you see them up close.
