The Point After - Didn't Know They Were Up This Late Edition

See if you can guess which of these was written before the game, and which after.

David Price's apprenticeship has ended, and he joins the Rays rotation as the most talked-about pitcher in franchise history.

David Price is a nice replacement, but it's risky business to count on a rookie as a savior. How much trouble are they in?

And to get us to 75 words we have a HILARIOUS ROCKY JOKE from my man G-Shelt

How much trouble is there? If this was a one of those 83 Rocky sequels, you would say this sets up the comeback quite nicely. In real life, however, it looks ugly.

OT: Here is a conversation that shows you how funny Shelt-Dawg is. Complete with 'rolling with the punches'

Why did you all only report half the story? The Bucs also sent a “Hi there!” note to Vicks at the same time.

Jay:

They sent a note to Vicks? Do they need Vapo-Rub?

In all seriousness, I have no knowledge they have reached out to Michael Vick. The last I heard, the team said it wasn’t interested in him.

Frankly, it would be silly for any team to do too much work on Vick before he’s reinstated by the NFL, and before they know how many games he’ll be available this year.

Jay, if you want to argue the team should be interested in Vick (or not), have at it. All opinions are welcome here.

Mr. Shelton, sorry for getting you so exited. I was just trying to be sarcastic.

No, I’m not going to argue but I do want to thank your big heart for your openness to all discussion, serious or not.

Jay: I love discussions. It’s the whole point of the blog. And I love sarcasm.

My ideal blog is one where a lot of funny, opinionated people get together and try to outdo each other with one-liners.

Also, supermodels are welcome.

Note: Gary Shelton is not funny, nor is he capable of a good one-liner

I think that's sarcasm, and a shot at us. Too bad I don't really care what he thinks.

Sadly, that time of Deadspin’s history has long-since passed.

I really want to read the Gary Shelton article about vacant lots

Gary Shelton joined the Times in 1990 as the National Football League writer and became a sports columnist two years later. He writes a column several times a week, his subjects ranging from the familiar to the forgotten, from the Super Bowl to a vacant lot. He can be reached shelton@sptimes.com.
