YHC was sitting here working on some sunflower seeds (stay away from the chaw, kids – #DAREmoment) around noon when the call in from the dugout.  When KD is on the other end of the line looking for a reliever, there is only one answer.  Went straight to the bullpen bump to start warming up.  All I could picture was our good brother Mr. the King staring at me like Cleveland Indians’ manager Lou Brown in “Major League” and uttering the classic line above. Hope I did you proud, skip.

The Thang:

Quote of the Day:  “True humility is not thinking less of yourself. It is thinking of yourself less.” – C.S. Lewis

Skin:

  • Strong work by the pax on a balmy morning. Great to see Munson brave the mist-dampened streets to join us. Must be a new set of Michelins on the Britt family truckster.
  • Au Pair was there. Chong was not.  #WinSomeLoseSome
  • Minnie is, in fact, alive.
  • Prayers continue for Cotton’s cousin, Low Pair, Hush Puppy’s family, Orwell’s return

As always, an honor and a pleasure.

Aye.
