*OK, I will admit that I thought the Kyle Kendrick fake trade to Japan thing was kind of funny … but didn’t you think it went WAY too far? They’re getting the manager involved*, the assistant general manager, players, his agent, and they’re gathering the media around for a fake press conference? Seemed like a whole lot of effort to blow up a kid. Maybe I don’t appreciate practical jokes as much as I should. Anyway, I thought that when it ended, Kyle Kendrick was the clear winner of the ”dignity under duress” award. I thought he could not have handled it much better. Maybe all those people praising Andy Pettitte should switch allegiances to Kendrick.
