Link Roundup: 3/8/07

-P- Remember, in addition to the game earlier today, the Bucs also play the Indians tonight at 7:05. You can watch that one at mlb.tv. B.P. Chacon will start.

UPDATE: Here's the box. The Bucs lead, 5-1. Jason Bay and Adam LaRoche are both 2-for-3.

-P- Jim Sullivan, who has been posting Spring Training diaries at OnlyBucs the past couple years, thinks something is wrong with Tom Gorzelanny. Obviously, Sullivan's not a journalist, and he's the only one reporting this so far, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt until you hear more.

-P- If you ever meet me at a game and ask me about Curt Schilling, I'll probably won't have many nice things to say or any nice way of saying them, but if this post is any indication, his new blog is going to be worth reading.

-P- Via Hardball Times, David Wells went on an African safari this offseason. This is one of the funnier stories I've read in a while. Wells ate some dik-dik. Well, I'll let him explain it:

Even a dik-dik, a furry little antelope, ended up on Wells' dinner plate after he "double-lunged it" from 30 yards with his bow.

"That was probably one of the best eating things I had," he said. "It doesn't sound good. Cute little suckers, too."

Gorzelanny

I'm afraid Mr. Sullivan might be on to something with Gorzo. Yesterday (Thursday) I saw him with his shoulder and elbow wrapped up -- actually have some photos of it -- and looked part-mummy. He pitched on Tuesday, relieving Ian Snell. I also saw Snell and he didn't have anything wrapped up. Are we reading into this too much? Maybe, maybe not. I didn't think anything of it until I read this post. My dad even mentioned Gorzo to me and I told him that was just standard procedure -- but two days after he last pitched? I'm not so sure.

Thanks for the heads up.

Today vs. Yankees

Brad Eldred is playing in right field for the Bucs today against the Yanks. He's 2 for 2 with a run scored. Paulino has gone yard also, a 2-run shot in the third.

Eldred

Big Country is now 3 for 4 with 2 doubles. He also made a nice play in right field.

Gorzelanny

Apparently he pitched during practice Thursday morning and that was the reason he had his arm iced down. I asked him how he felt before the game today and he said "fine", though I wouldn't expect him to say anything else. He looks like he's fine and will start on Sunday.
