trifecta

the NYTimes sports section was a wealth of interesting tidbits today:

on potential Mets 5th starter Grant Roberts:

With his surfer-dude drawl, it sometimes seems that the laid-back pitcher Grant Roberts doesn't take anything too seriously......but no one has been more spirited than Roberts, a 26-year-old from San Diego. After striking out the Cardinals' Greg Vaughn in the first week of exhibition games, he pumped his fist, impressing coaches and teammates.

"He's got a little fire in him," Mets Manager Art Howe said. "I just want to see him turn it into a blaze."

oh, he's blazing all right. and if fist pumps are so impressive, maybe Tiger Woods should be the 5th starter.

Comments

There will be some kind of scandal at Houston within five years. Bank on it.

I always thought he was best known for his perm.

Every day, in every way, he's such a fake tan.
