Hello again, gangsters! It’s been a while since the Comment of the Week. But I’m not going to apologize, because it’ll almost definitely happen again.
This Comment of the Week comes from this week’s Muskbox. I believe we have a first-time winner. Mike Fontenot in A Few Good Fontenots writes:
Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about at your Lost viewing parties, you want me on that field. You need me on that field. We use words like, “Whoops, my bad” and “You sure that was strike 3? Looked outside to me,” and “Pull my finger.” We use these words as a backbone of a life spent going through complete shit-your-pants late season collapses. You use ‘em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the very blanket…..oooh Theriot is making the firetruck noises again! I love when he does that!
Congratulations, MFIAFGF!
Well, the little guy did have ADHD as a kid, and is still hyper and has to force himself to concentrate, but his team mates are crazy about him, and pitchers were happier with him at second than Theriot.. Baseball is a kids game, and Mike gives his team mates a chance to be kids again,
If the the first half were coming to a close Carlos Silva would be the Cubs sole All-Star http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=8485625
@Frasier Crane – That sentence makes me want to hurt myself. And Hendry.
I met a man years ago whose name was Jim Essian and his son played baseball, we became great friends, are you his son? I would like to know what became of him
@colleen Smith – I met him in Port Huron Michigan in 1983-84
@colleen Smith – That’s the same Jim Essian. I’m not his son, but I’ve corresponded with Jim and his son.
@Bad Kermit – Do you know where they live at and if his dad is still alive? my email is crs8305@yahoo.com, thank you for replying
