Look Who I Just Incapacitated!
I had had it with the so-called "interview". The talk, talk, talk. Diamondbacks' President Derrick Hall going on and on ( and on ) about his fan friendly "this" and family friendly "that", with that chiseled smile of his.
I guess I just snapped. I dont know what to say to the D*Back faithful , other than Derrick wont be as "accessible" this season. I didnt mean for it to end like this - in fact, my son initially tagged along to help diffuse the unbearable mix of Hall's oil and Diamondhacks' vinegar, but wound up photographing (and abetting) my regrettable William Ligue Jr moment.
Hall was right about one thing - he bleeds Sedona Red alright. My regret? Only that I couldnt knock that smile off his face.
Needless to say, we saw ourselves out.
(to be continued)
Though I love this entry and the fun picture that accompanies it, what is most puzzling to me is: Why is Derrick wearing a fleece in Arizona? Isn't it warm out there? It's 40 degrees here in Chicago and people are running around in shorts already.
So much for Arizona being a winter haven.
Can't wait for the follow up, Matt.

In answer to the previous comment, it's because every building in Arizona has the a/c blasting out at it's maximum capacity-this is part of the state's attempt to make everywhere in the world as hot as Phoenix.

What, no mention of Steinbrenner, Paul? Remember the 80s, early 90s?

I'm a Mets fan. And I never had a real problem with George--at least he's interesting. In fact, I think he's a Hall of Famer, but I have trouble ever seeing that happening.
