Ortiz just dedicated the Derby trophy to "my friend Jose Lima". A nice gesture (and appropriate on multiple levels, perhaps).

David Ortiz dedicated his win to Jose Lima.  Nice job

Often wrong, but never in doubt.

Well, I am Mr. Happy and that's exactly what I would have said. Coach, I had no pickoff move, so it wasn't just shitty, it was nonexistent.

This is where you're supposed to blame that on the fact that there were never any men on base so that you could practice.

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

Unfortunately, while I can't remember my WHIP, or even whether they even computed it back then, but I'd have been probably been in the 1.4-1.5 range, so there were plenty of baserunners, usually courtesy of walks. I was lucky in that I did have a good split finger fastball that clocked a lot of strikeouts, which often saved my ass.

I was the starting pitcher for my last game ever in Little League.

I don't remember if we won or lost or how bad we lost, but I do remember there was pizza, whiskey, and tits as far as you could see.   Yes sir, the after party lasted nearly a week and El Paso County changed 6 different laws when we were done.   9 months later, the hospital neonat ward was mighty busy and three street names were altered in my honor.

Smell my finger(s).
