Dusty Brown Called Up

UPDATE: Varitek is a feeling better, so the Red Sox called up Craig Hansen instead.

***

Catcher Dusty Brown will be with the Red Sox tonight.

Brown is hitting .240/.328/.400 in 14 games with Pawtucket. He played in 13 spring training games in March, going 5-for-16 (.313/.353/.500).(SoSH TaLK)

The poor quality of the writing? Yes. I mean, the guys names the two teams, but says absolutely nothing about what league it is. Minor league? Independent League? Beer-league softball? ... Christ, Matt James, do the effing basics.

Actually, while reading the story, I was thinking, he turned 34? That's it?

All careers end -- and he had a better one than most. And from a Red Sox perspective, one of the best.

Yikes. No doubt about THAT. Yuck. My dad is always lamenting the poor quality of the clippings he gets with job applications, and if that's any indication, I totally understand his position!

Though The Fresno Bee is still one of my favorite newspaper names. That and the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
