That’s some gift. (What did you get her?)

Are you going to get “Slyde” put on the back of your jersey?

And remember, you have to bring your own glove, cleats, and jock.

Seriously though, that’s freaking awesome man.

are supposed to play a “reunion game” in August, and be introduced to the fans at GABP.

Might be a good day to plan a RR outing…

i’m sick with jealousy

it makes me want to go break the flashlight i got for christmas

but that’s a very cool gift. Enjoy.

i feel like your christmas was better, but mine is more utilitarian.

I got MLB The Show 08 for PS3. Anybody played it? Is it any good?

Remember to heed Dave Lapham’s rule, “A loose groin is a happy groin.”

I got my wife Arrested Development, and she had already told my sister to get me the same thing. Also I got some inside scoop on the Joey Votto trade rumor thing that appeared in Gammons’ blog. It’s too much to type out on iPhone right now.

And I want to marry your wife, she’s just about the coolest person I’ve ever heard of. Oh, and I’d be happy to go embarrass myself at the cages with you if you’d like. :)

*you need to find a way to throw everyday. use your garage, a brick wall, whatever. Those muscles, sorry, havent been used in years.

*you need to begin aerobic activity, stat, every day. walk. run. swim. bike. do something for at least a half hour every day. trust me, you’ll thank me.

*get limber, bro. stretch. stretch some more. feel the burn before any physical activity.

*hit the batting cages in town a couple times a week. it will help by Feb.

Remember, the key is to NOT get injured. If there is the opp find a way to coerce me and jch to toss with you. He has some wicked spin on that lefty bullshit and I can air it out a bit. 3B is fucked up, there isnt a way to perfect your D in such a short time….especially at the hot corner. Try to get to 2B, easiest position in the infield and much further away from the batter. I’d worry about fielding MUCH more than hitting.

I’m sure it is something you will remember for pretty much the rest of your life. Good luck!

I just happen to be available camp week…………

Your gift trumps mine

she said no.

Slyde your wife is so much cooler than my girlfriend.

It’s likely that I’m going next year, out to Az. I was supposed to go this year, but the baby thing sort of postponed things. On the practice front, I just stopped playing hardball about a year and a half ago, and would be happy to help out. I’m 33 now and was still playing against college kids (not Roy Hobbs league) and still have a bit of gas in the tank. I can hit fungoes well enough to run you around a bit. Let me know.

or I’ll deem you inadequate to play 3B.

i just told my wife about this, and she said she wants to get together a RR Wives Association to gather ideas for Christmas presents. she is just as impressed as i am jealous.

just remember: dont be afraid of the ball. dont eat candy in the dugout. dont use your bat to hit rocks. dont use your glove to masturbate. dont wear your hat backwards. dont leave your cleats out in the rain. dont go swimming the day of a game. and have fun.

I have this morning before practice…..looking for a woman to enjoy the morning with. Can be married or single, disease free is important. I am 5′9″ 180 short hair and blue eyes, in shape, of course. Just in town fulfilling some fantasies. Yeah, my wife knows. She’s the one who sent me outta town.

BEST. CHRISTMAS. EVER!!!!

That’s terrific! We’ll expect a full report … as soon as you’re out of the hospital, of course.

I’ve had a…few…years to consider how cool it would be if someone got me this gift or if I got it for myself, but it never really entered into my realm of posibility. Sounds like it’ll be a real gas.

That is so awesome. I would love to go some year. I think we are all expecting daily updates and box scores here. Make sure you grab lots of photos as well.
