My imaginary, idealistic conversation:

Ron: “Don’t screw up, play your heart out, do your best, and they’ll love ya.”

Milton: “Yes, sir, I’ll do my best. I’ve always wanted to be apart of a winner, I think we can do that here.”

I would have enjoyed being a fly on the wall

well, batting screen, for that one. Milton is very excited to be a Cub, so I’m sure it was a good convo.

I'd prefer Joey Gathright resume that tradition, thank you very much.

He’s a proven jumper, and I don’t want The Game taking any unnecessary risks with his legs.

My sig line is out for jury duty.

by daver on Feb 26, 2009 12:25 PM CST up reply actions  

But for Gathright to do that...

… you’d have to put a car in the outfield (Paging SWL!)
