He just might be an old Brooklyn Dodgers fan who has updated his allegiance to the Mets.

Read on, Joe, enjoy Matheson.

There were so many angles I could have taken, but I needed to cram in as much without boring anyone with an modern English literature lesson! But I appreciate the kind words :D

Just as Joyce reinvented himself (from “Stephen Hero” to “Portrait”), so too did RA on the baseball field. Yes, RA is humble, shy and down-to-earth, but he has the heart of a lion.

Great stuff. Thanks Coop

I can’t count the number of times over in the dugout at R.D.M. that people would praise Dickey’s post-game comments.

Dickey mentioned in a video over at MLB.com that other famous knuckleballers didn’t have their best years till their mid 30′s and up.

I can only hope that’s the case for Dickey as well.

I love Dickey, and I’m clad he’s signed for two years. But WAR and WHIP had nothing to do with this post? Must you interject it even where it’s not alluded to or mentioned. I know FAFIF mentioned it, but that was not the point of this post.
