Breathing it in

Steve:
I love how the off days give one time to reflect and enjoy the moment …

Steve:
You know stop and smell the roses.

Mike:
I prefer to think of it as stop and smell the sausage cahts.

 

---

Steve:
Seriously. Here we are mid-June, the Sox in first place.

 

---

Mike:
Sausage in the bun, guy, sausage in the bun.

 

---

Steve:
First place while having serious defensive flaws, flaws that you know and I know Theo is going to address and make the club even stronger.

 

---

Mike:
Sausage. Bun. Peppahs.

 

---

Steve:
And that's first place while playing against the toughest schedule in MLB.

 

---

Mike:
Sausage. Bun. Peppahs. Onions.

 

---

Steve:
And, oh, right, there's this little pitching "abundance" we've got.

 

---

Mike:
Sausage. Bun. Peppahs. Onions. Sriracha.

I think there is a bit of over-reaction here. I read the comment of 'Please Update' as a form of tribute. He acknowledges that he is an addict, obviously has withdrawal symptoms (24 hours since his last fix), and is waiting for the methadone clinic to open. He will be ill/nervous/jittery until the clinic opens. I would file the comment under 'flattery' rather than 'harassment'. Just my thoughts.

yb- Maybe so, but in that case, you would think that PU (ha!) would have said, "Please update, I am jonesing hard," NOT why does it take you so long to update? which seems a tad intrusive, like hb is sitting back in his smoking jacket with a cigar and some port, loitering over his posting schedule (which is invariably and impressively the same day after day).

hb- hoping all is okay, and that the follow-up shows that she is back (or soon to be) in fine form. Thinking of you. And thanks for always taking the time for this site, even when the non-trivial takes over (as it should).

[Please Update]

I to wish the best to you and your wife. I hope everything turns out better than ok.

I certainly meant no disrespect to you and yours. I meant that I love to read your blog and it makes me laugh first thing in the morning at work. It's a good way to start the day. I especially like it after a big win and a Papi home run so I was just getting anxious is all.

Once again I wish you all the best and God Bless you and your wife and family.

Yours,

Please Update

The first to is supposed to read too. Sorry.

To follow up it was certainly meant as a tribute. I am excited to read the new post.

If a douchenozzle gets cut down on Soxaholix, does it make a noise?

Yes:

Eeep.

Hope your wife's fine. H.B.

ok ok ok. don't go all Letterman on this. Please Update, nevermind my tirade of a few minutes ago - i couldn't find my last rock. found it - better now. i'll be nice now.

[h.b.]

New post is up.

Sorry for the delay and smacking down on the "tribute."

It's all good.

Wife is doing great and has been. These are just all the echos and ultrasounds and other internal seeing bits to make sure the new valve and other cyborg parts are humming along nicely.

H.B. - Hope you and the lovely Mrs. H.B. are able to light up a big fat Verdadero Organic ala Red Auerbach when you get the news from the docs.

Our prayers have been and remain with you both.
