Millsy

"I'm not into comparing and contrasting," Wade said. "Coop's a great baseball man, but things got rough from a win-loss standpoint last year. We're facing forward at this point and building off the strengths that Millsy brings to the table." (Emphasis Added)

Taken from a recent article on the Astros new manager, Brad Mills, this quote exemplifies a distressing trend in major league baseball: the need to add "y" onto everything.

Millsy? Are you kidding me? I can't even say that word out loud without feeling ridiculous. The guys name is Brad. Or Mills. Or Mr. Mills. It isn't "Millsy".

In the immortal words of Gob Bluth: "Come on!"


In other news... The Saints won the Super Bowl. Good for Drew Brees. Though this does mean I am going to have to endure ten more years of explaining to people why Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback to ever play, as opposed to them simply admitting this. Alas. Of course, argumentatively convincing someone of a sports-related factoid is one of my strong-suits, so... I guess this could be a hidden boon. (Are "boon" and "bane" related in any way? They should be, even if they aren't. They mean almost the opposite thing and they sound eerily similar.)

Only a week until pitchers and catchers report. I'm salivating.
