He looks good. I miss the Felix that the Stros blasted out of the park in the first inning a couple of years ago.

Just never had to blow my nose so bad that it couldn't wait.

I guess 'cause catchers don't run?

I've puked on the field more than once, if that makes you feel any better.

I did that once. I should have gone first to third but had to stop and puke at second. It was a week after I took a bad hop off my nose and bled all over third. After the second incident the guys on the team started calling me "blood and guts," which I rather liked.

Way better than Pukey Joe.

Really? I thought this was a common thing in outdoor sports. I know I used to do it.
