I dunno, he's got a decent curve and some junk in da trunk, but he's no Anthony Recker, I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah, "the bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'", to quote Spinal Tap…but still.

I saw Mike Piazza, the king of butt-torque. When he hit a bomb, I would literally say "he got all his ass into that one!" I just don't see that with Cal, Winker's propensity for juvenile nicks aside.

Cal is in fact a fine player. Perhaps one day he'll get a nickname worthy of his talents.

I think I speak for all of us when I say "No comment".
