The Sox yesterday lost a real dirt dog when left handed pitcher Lenny Dinardo was claimed off waivers by the Oakland A's. Lenny has by no means been the most spectacular pitcher for the Sox since they acquired him from the Mets in the 2003 rule-5 draft. Yet for some reason I've always liked the guy. He did anything the Sox asked of him, constantly shuttling between Pawtucket and Boston and between the rotation and the bullpen. I have it on good authority that Dinardo is pissed about the move, and he may even retire rather than pitch for Oakland. It's a shame that the front office should take such a cold approach with such a nice guy and a good pitcher. We'll miss you buddy!
