Brendan Donnelly and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Brendan Donnelly didn't have the best day. First, he was nontendered by the Red Sox. Since they didn't want to give him a contract, he effectively became a free agent. Nobody wants to be a free agent who's coming off Tommy John surgery, especially Donnelly, since he figures he'll only be able to pitch for the last couple months of the 2008 season. Who's gonna sign him? To make matters so much worse, the Mitchell report was published this afternoon, implicating players in the use of steroids. Guess whose name was on it? Yup, Brendan Donnelly.

But all of a sudden, his feud with Jose Guillen makes more sense. They were probably competing for limited resources...




Good thing Brendan had his loyal teammates to calm him down...




Oh Brendan. Where's the rally monkey when you need him?
