34?? That makes me feel a little bit like a dirty old lady. Not too much, just a little. Happy Birthday, Derek, on behalf of all the women who wouldn't mind giving you a little birthday love.

I have to admit that I was against making Joba a starter. I thought he should be kept as the set-up man and take over for Mo when he retires, which I'm pretty sure will be after next season. However, Joba has improved with each start, and he just may prove invaluable this season.
