Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday!! W00000000ttttttt!!

Or, in the case of the Phillies, Aces and catchers! Gonna be a fun year!

Hey! I like baseball too.

 

[Dr Dave]

When I was in little league I wanted to be the catcher.

Never did, got stuck out in the field.

I'm still waiting to hear if my team needs to be auctioned off to pay off its owners' legal troubles. Whee.

I need David Wright to hold me.

You can't address somebody as 'Mister' and 'Esquire'. One must replace the other. 'Mister' was used, typically to address a gentleman (a Higher Class individual), 'Esquire' is used to sign off the name of a (typically young) somebody in good social standing, but not considered to be a gentleman.

Now. Back to stickball (I played Baseball in school - a European version, and was better at it than cricket).

I was hoping the Rangers could make another go at it, but losing Cliff Lee and Vlad didn't help.

In the United States of America (or, "The Colonies" to you), "Esq." is used to denote that someone is an attorney-at-law, a lawyer.

Well, Clifton just liked playing for the Phillies better. I mean, who doesn't??

Anything less than a World Series victory this year will be a disappointment. GO PHILLIES!!!
