Blondes Do Have More Fun

How’s the ankle?
"It feels good. It’s still attached. It’s not really something I’m
limping around with, it only bothers me to do some real specific
movements, and most of those movements happen when I throw a baseball.
Otherwise it’s fine." - 6.24: Curt Schilling on 105.7-FM with Loren and
Wally.
Beltransition: Boston the Focus Again
"According
to several sources, the three-way Beltran/Dotel trade broke down for
financial reasons, despite the fact that owner Steve Schott had told
The Chronicle last week that he would increase the payroll to improve
the bullpen. At issue was the fact that Dotel will be arbitration
eligible after the season and, as a closer, he could command quite a
bit more in arbitration than his current $2.8 million salary.
According
to one source, Kansas City was to receive Triple-A third baseman Mark
Teahen and rising Class-A reliever Jairo Garcia (Astros minor- league
catcher John Buck also was to be part of the deal). The Royals were
said to be furious that the deal collapsed and now are believed to be
shopping Beltran to Boston instead." - San Francisco Chronicle
"The
Royals then began shopping Beltran all over again, and industry sources
said the Boston Red Sox might have positioned themselves to acquire
him." - Houston Chronicle

Thumbs the Word
Pokey x-rays negative, should be able to avoid surgery.
Docs will watch overnight swelling.

Captain Morgan on NESN: "Pokey will need a few weeks to recover"
Here we go again.
Theo on with Dale & Neumy on WEEI:
“The thumb is doing much better than he thought it would. The swelling
and the soreness has not risen to a level that he expected after
yesterday. So that’s good news especially because we’re going to be
treating this thing by the symptoms. It’s a sprain. It’s not a complete
rupture of the ligament. Surgery is not indicated. So we’re really
going to treat it with taping, maybe a partial splint and hopefully
that’s tolerant. I’d imagine that late this weekend, maybe Sunday,
he’ll try to take BP, and if that goes well he shouldn’t be too far
away from playing but we have not placed him on the disabled list,
that’s a pretty good indication that our medical staff thinks that we
need to treat the symptoms.”
