I have to agree. He looks good with a beard.

Thanks, ESPEN. I wondered what Oliver looked like. Now I know.

I know he's a lefty, and when I see the muscles in his right arm I wonder what his left arm looks like.

Thanks Roger for the pics of me w/ Jacob Turner. After 3 years it is time to bid farewell to my avatar of Vance Wilson's (my son's namesake) champaign shower from the '06 ALCS, and replace it with a picture of me and my 2010 AAT.

Galarraga looked so different.

I second ESPEN's thanks....I appreciate the pic of me with Turner as well.

roarintiger1 · #**129** (**permalink**) 02-08-2010, 09:11 PM

Isn't 50 Galarraga.....without his beard?

I too want to thank you for the pictures.

gzbach · #**130** (**permalink**) 02-08-2010, 09:16 PM

Yep, #50 is Rags

I don't want to miss tomorrow. If I get my tire issues out of the way and the rain holds off, I may make it out late.

Thanks for sharing Huey!! Makes Ohio a little less cold today!

hueytaxi · #**137** (**permalink**) 02-09-2010, 06:46 PM

Hopefully I have my car issues taken care of and plan to be at our Tigertown in the morning. Many of you are going to chuckle with our forecast, but to me it will be miserable. Windy out of the NNW at 13 mph, sunny and 45 degrees at 10 AM. Another cold week for Florida on tap.

hueytaxi · #**138** (**permalink**) 02-10-2010, 02:06 AM

May miss the next couple days with the cold weather. Hope ESPEN carries his camera.

FloridaTigers · #**139** (**permalink**) 02-10-2010, 02:51 AM

Thank you but Huey is feeling his age along with aches and pains. I have no business being up at this hour but will not use normal medications.

Huey, you know us old chopper pilots got to stick together, so take your medicine and go back to bed!

I'll be out again on Saturday. Work still tends to get in the way of this hobby. I will make sure to have my camera in hand.

Sheffield completes the picture. I can just imagine what he's thinking: "What the **** is her problem? She's never been to a ballgame before?"

Visine, nose drops, lip balm and Busch beer seem to eventually fix most things.

But seriously, expand on willow bark?

I heard tonight US Olympic hopeful Lindsey Vonn is treating a similar injury by wrapping her lower leg in cheese. That's alot of Kraft singles for me.

Chewing it is fine, and after that you can use it as a suppository. But if you're going to take it as a suppository remember what order to do things in eh?

Yoop that reminds me of the time that your doctor prescribed some suppositories for you. At your next appointment the doctor asked how the suppositories had worked, and you said "Oh those things, yeah for all the good that they did I might as well have shoved them up my ___."

Hope you feel better. I'm guessing this means your taking the day off tomorrow? If I can get warm enough, I may stop by the facility for a few.

I feel fine, just a dull ache in a leg I don't wish to aggravate standing in a 32 degree wind chill for three hours. Last year it was flu which kept me away a lot. I'll likely skip Thursday and hope for no rain on Friday and Saturday.

hueytaxi · #**155** (**permalink**) 02-11-2010, 05:24 PM

Official Forecast for Friday here: "Cold rain and miserable". 100% chance of rain at 10AM, 49 degrees. That should be the high for the day. Clear on Saturday and 47 at 10 AM.

I will personally massage her leg from now until the time she needs to ski. I'll eat the cheese for energy(I was going to say "I'll cut the cheese and eat it", but that sounded nauseating).

That does not sound good. You didn't miss much today.....it was horribly cold and I'm now feeling the affects. I was about the only person out there for the majority of the time, a few folks from the north stopped in just to check out the stadium, but that was it. A couple guys I had not seen out there previously....Bobby Seay, Eddie Bonine, Don Kelly and another pitcher that I beleive was one of the new guys.....maybe Phil Coke. Taking the day off tomorrow, then back out Saturday (hitting the pancake breakfast first). Hopefuly there is a little more action than last saturday.
