I cannot stand that commercial.

I wouldn't doubt it if he's having an arm issue, seems like his fastball doesn't ever reach 90mph anymore. With the way things are going for him I wouldn't be too upset if he got surgery early this season so he'd be prepared for next year. Bailey can fill his spot, because at this point he can't possibly do any worse.

We need to take up a collection to buy out Kip Winger's contract.

That's quite a bit for someone who throws batting practice.

I'm hoping it's his arm. It just seems bizarre that he has fallen off so much. Who knows, maybe he doesn't want to say anything because of his admission that he has a "rubber arm" and doesn't want to eliminate that reputation. But if he's hurt, he better fess up quick. Then he'll have plenty of time to record more JTM commercials! Haha, I know you all would love that!
