Not much news following the off day. There are some whose panties are in a twist because Pedro went to the Pan Am games, yet very little mention of the fact that Burkett goes home after just about every start.

There is a nice article in the Courant about Theo. It is somewhat interesting because Cashman puts forth his opinion:

“I’m not dealing with him as a GM because we’re rivals,” Cashman said. “I don’t pick the phone up and say, `What are you looking to do?’ It doesn’t matter what either one of us is looking to do. We’re not looking to help each other at all. If we could, we’d screw each other probably.

“But at the end of the day, I sit back in my city and reflect on the moves that he makes. You don’t always have that feeling or opinion of other clubs when they make their moves. So far, with every move he’s made, I’m like, `That’s a good move. It makes a lot of sense. I understand exactly where it’s going. It’s very logical and, unfortunately, they’re better because of it.’ I’ve had that opinion of every move they’ve made.” HEUSCHKEL

Suppan’s 2nd tour starts tonight. Can’t be worse than Mendoza starting…
