David Riske

With his steady ERA and a need for him in the bullpen now that Mota has motored, or about to, it is imperative that the forthcoming deal with Cleveland include Mr. Riske, who will be a better pitcher with less risk health-wise than Mota. Let us not forget this. Davis Riske as a member of the Red Sox for '06 is important, and when or if the deal is finalized and he is a part of it, allow yourself a knowing smile, a smile that says, "Good move and way to go club." You know, that special smile, hardly noticed by bystanders near and far, that shows pure contentment, if just for that special moment. I'm waiting for that smile. I hope you are too.
