Given the subject line, I thought you were referring to this gem: Carlos Lee's friends lift him in difficult time

I was quite shocked, however, that Drayton McLane had not called him as of 8 p.m. Saturday night.

"What did Drayton tell you," I asked.

"He hasn't called," Lee said.

Maybe McLane has been very busy lately, but I'm shocked that he hasn't called Lee. Lee has been carrying McLane's ballclub for almost two months, and you would think he would have deserved a call from McLane by now.

McLane forgets that players talk, and his silence with Lee so far will be heard quite loudly, if you get my drift.
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Do you ever get the idea that JdJO may have been the kind of idiot child who ran around poking hornets' nests?
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

It gets worse, Ortiz is now blogging from the pre-surgery room at the hospital.

6 fractures and one extends into the joint.  Not good news.  Not good news at all.

Back of the envelope cypher'n, game started at 6:10 CT, it was a little after 7 by the 3rd inning.  The complaint is that Mclane hadn't called him by 8?   I've read elsewhere specifically that Mclane has talked to Cooper and to Wade about Lee.

Don't count Ortiz out! He still needs to mention the impending staph infection and how Lee's career may be over!

I broke my leg in four places.  My doctor told me to stop going to those places.

You've been Cabrera'd twice in the same thread.  Is that a record or do you need to go for three?

I agree. After the first 2 BBGs beat me down I thought it was over and lo and behold here come the third mumbling unga bunga.
Unga bungaed by the BBGs.

This has probably already been posted somewhere, but in the interest of historical accuracy, it was Lee May's brother who was thumb-less.

Jersey number was 17. Last name was May. Birthday was May 17. Jersey read May on the top and 17 in the middle.
