I read today that the new infielder, Brendan Harris, likes his politics and even has a degree in political science. Nice to know, although I’m much more concerned about his range in the field than his stance on the issues. Still, JoeC let us know that toward the end of his story that Harris leans “heavily to the right” in his political views. Therefore, be it resolved, that he shall heretofore be known in Section 220 as Mitt Harris. As in: “Just field the friggin’ ball, Mitt.”

Further, the blogger Karlee at omg mn twins is so enthused by Boof Bonser’s weight loss that she has offered up the name “Oof Onser” in tribute to how much of Boof is no longer there. After referring to him as the Boofeteria last season, Section 220 will refer to his slimmed-down self as Oof.

Listening to Gordo ‘n’ Gladden today, they described Carlos Gomez‘ first-inning steal off Jon Lester as a thing of magic. He singled and took off against the lefty Lester and stole second without much of a challenge. The broadcasters, perhaps trying to make us feel a bit better about the Johan trade, pointed out that Gomez is supposedly faster than Jose Reyes, who stole 78 bases for the Mets last year. If he’s that fast, he needs to be called Carlos Gogomez, right?

other people are here too.
