QuoteThere's also that ridiculous picture I consented to take for a magazine, where I'm holding a polo mallet.  Ewwww. I was poorer then, and I thought I'd get to keep the jeans.  I was duped!

That's a croquet mallet, you FAG!

(But seriously, "and I thought I'd get to keep the jeans" made me laugh a lot.)

Seriously, shitdicks. Read this shit. So much gold from Ferning. (http://cubbiescrib.com/2011/01/12/interview-with-fernando-perez/)

QuoteI have nothing bad to say about tampa, it isn't anyone's fault that people don't fill that stadium.  The recession doesn't help, ball games aren't exactly for everyone anymore ($$), but I think it's as simple as the traffic patterns that connect tampa to st. pete where tropicana field is situated.  With that situation ameliorated, the rays will get to start building the tradition that everyone associated with them (the fans, the players, the administration and staff) would like.

He just dropped "ameliorated" into a discussion about Tampa-St. Pete's traffic patterns!

QuoteI was very lucky to draw one extraordinary tool–I'm really fast.  While I am very humble and self-deprecating, probably to a fault, I'm not that way about my speed because I don't really have much to do with it.  My parents did it.  Pun intended.  Being faster than most everyone else is pretty neat.  It helps me cover more ground on defense, it helps me annoy defenses on offense; it would help in a bear attack–the bear probably isn't getting me if there's a few of us having a picnic.

Otherwise, I try to be a good teammate although i think it's overrated in a sense.   If i was a GM i think i'd rather have a 25 amazing players that were total pricks, over a bunch of sweethearts and model citizens having a 'good time' at the park. Its all about performance, and ultimately, wins, so if a volatile work environment fosters a 110 game winning team, fine.  But since Im not a GM and Im a player, I am a good teammate because I think there's so much distraction and negative stimulus that constantly threatens a team, a team can find solace in good citizenship and support from teammates.  The 25 brilliant performers that wore headphones all day, i wouldn't want to be a part of that team.  For me, the work environment is the most important thing, so i try to contribute to that.

He gets it.

QuoteThose guys are two of my favorite big-leaguers.  If they weren't I would skip this question.  I first met Carlos during my first Major League Spring training.  I was trying to lay-low and not get in the way of the veterans, and he sought me out since he hadn't yet met me, and shook my hand like I was important, like I was Don Zimmer or something.

Fuck ye...wait, what?

Darwin Barney received little, if any, recognition for his contributions as Samuel F.B. Morse's assistant when the telegraph was invented.  It is reported that Barney came up with the word "dash" to describe the longer tone that contrasted with what Morse had already characterized as a "dot".

Well, Mr. Perez tweeted back at me. Why am I excited that an extremely unknown minor league baseball player responded to my stupid question? Seriously, I'd like to know.
