The Red Sox beat writers must be out of their mind with boredom. They're so bored that they decided to vote on awarding the obvious: Jonathan Papelbon is the 2009 Red Sox Fireman of the Year, as voted by the Boston Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America. (I guess, like the national awards, the postseason doesn't count.)
Daniel Bard was selected top Red Sox rookie, beating out stiff competition such as Junichi Tazawa, Josh Reddick and Michael Bowden.
I heard about some winners that haven't officially been announced yet: Santa Claus will be named the jolliest big man at the North Pole, Fenway will be named best 90-year-old major league ballpark in Boston and the Phillie Phanatic, in a close contest against Smiley, the Hatfield pig, was named best mascot at Citizens Bank Park.
Man is this offseason slow.
So slow, in fact, the Phillies beat writers are playing a game of chicken to see who can go the longest without an editor demanding they update their blogs. Through Monday evening, Andy Martino leads, having last posted on Tuesday (but he did do a chat on Wednesday); Todd Zolecki's last post was Wednesday, while David Murphy and Scott Lauber each posted Thursday.
