Rich Hill, Poor Hill

You're probably too young to remember this book "Rich Man, Poor Man", but it was a big deal in the mid-70's.
They made a tv movie out of it with Nick Nolte as the bad brother, and it was Richard somebody as the good brother.
Probably one of the first books I ever read that had more than oh, 26 pages...
Anyway, Rich Hill.
11 batters.
6 walks.
Think I read he walked the bases loaded twice.
I don't know.
Maybe he's serious buddies with Mark DeRosa and wants to gum up any trades that might be happening.
Everybody seems down on him because of his outburst, but I think if and when Marquis goes we'll all share a giant, "Uh, why did that just happen?" moment.
I can handle a Kerry Wood back spasm (I'm going to expect this stuff all year), but the #4 starter not being able to find the plate is...it gives me The Fear.
On the other hand, taking out the trash this morning, couldn't help but notice my old friend the snow!
Hitting me in the face, so...
Probably plenty of time for Rich to get it together.
Probably I get The Fear too easily.
Probably.

I'm worried that I might be suffering from The Fear. What kind of medication do you suggest?

Well, it is Friday Brad.
I went to the Clark Street Ale House awhile back, and there are a couple excellent locally made gins of all things. One in particular called I think "Death's Door" (from Door County in Wisco)...
