XX Sports Radio: Jake Peavy Interview (MP3) with Darren Smith

Jake Peavy is feeling better and he was able to get out of bed today.
Peavy jokes that he might have to get on Twitter. Somebody was tweeting about him picking up his medication at Albertson's. "You can't do anything these days." Jake thinks this stuff comes with the territory of a big time pitcher "There's been so many false things written about me on the internet, I don't care."
Jake doesn't have a facebook or myspace account.
"There are plenty of blogs out there that are inaccurate as inaccurate gets from fans. Obviously those are brought to your attention by the people that look out for you."
Darren Smith tells Peavy about how Steve Quis told Gaslamp Ball that Jake Peavy didn't show up to the gym the morning he was supposed to be traded to the White Sox. Peavy says he hasn't gone to any gym except the Padres gym since the season started!
Peavy is told that there is a fake Twitter account using his name. He says he's going to follow Tony LaRussa's lead and see how his lawsuit turns out.
"I play a professional sport for a living, I got three kids and a family to take care of, I'm not on the internet, I can promise you that." "I don't have the time or the will to want to do anything like that. I don't want to sit down on a daily basis and write a blog! I'm sorry"

Sup Jake, or Jake's publicist. Please consider the following:

The Internet Is Serious Business is a phrase used to remind those who voluntarily leave the house that being mocked on the Internet is, in fact, the end of the world. Common variations include:

Internet… Serious Fucking Business
The Internet: Serious Business
Internet = Srs Business
SRS BIZNS
and even just INTERNET!!
Plural: The Internets Are Serious Businesses

He must really hate Corey Brock, he twitters about his blog and everything.

Any “facts” found here are usually references to other web sites. It’s the Scott Miller’s, Peter Gammons’, Ken Rosenthals’, and guys like that lead the bloggers and twitterererers astray. I don’t think anybody is out there citing blogger Pajamas McBasement when they are claiming that someone is going to be traded. It’s usual one of the big sites’ reporters claiming something and bloggers speculating about what it means for their team. Look at the fanposts right now (Do It!), is somebody telling Jake he’s getting traded to LA because the Peavy for Kershaw thing posted up there. If so, Jake should have security escort that person out of the building because they are batpoo insane.

Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.

Jake Peavy's a stand-up guy and I care what he thinks.

That, my friends, is inaccuracy in blogging.

Did you guys miss

when Darren was talking about Larussa suing Twitter he said that he’s a big fan of Gaslampball and this is how a blog should be?

I retained my fondness for him longer than most people here. But yeah, good luck in Chicago. I heard their media never makes mistakes or creates rumors.

I'll always have great memories of Jake...

Even though we found him in a later round of the draft, he came up through our system, and he has been w/ the organization for a long time, I’m tiring of his attitude. I am sure that he’s in a tough position (employer is trying to find a way to let you go), but don’t critiscize the fans and don’t be so blatantly ignorant regarding the internet. We know your a hillbilly Jake, but tht doesn’t mean you have to be critical of people who aren’t like you

"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.
