Mike Declassified (No More. I promise.)

Since absolutely no one asked, I thought it best to declassify the “Mike” email.  Here it is, albeit slightly annotated. 

1st base is on the fair side of first (see why I was immediately impressed with these stunning insights?). Texiria needs to shut his (Expletive deleted. Mike, please, we are a family blog and have strong readership in the 5 to 6 year old demographic – of course that’s measured in mental not chronological years) mouth on a play like that. If you got a problem with the runner hit him in the back and let the ump make the call (Mike, did you miss …the overly protected, inbred, bozos...” reference?) But if you make a throw that puts the first baseman prone to a runner touching first base (Mike, we all like runners touching first base. We only are concerned when a runner repeatedly does not stay in the runners lane going to 1st) that’s(sp) not the runners problem (Well, clearly, it can be, and last night it was). Theres(sp) a reason the umpires didn't throw Gomez out of the game (again, Mike, did you miss “ …the overly protected, inbred, bozos...” reference?) despite him sticking around to converse with Texiria (I know, Mike. It’s impossible to spell) for what would otherwise be way to long (It was a bit long only because representatives from both benches seemed to be unsatisfied with just how the overprotected, inbred bozos were handling the situation – the second time around. But that, I am sure, was Teixeirs’s fault as well). 

But hey encourage a pitch into his ribs if that’s(sp) what gets you all excited (It’s all this talk about getting to first base that’s getting me excited). Maybe Texiria (see previous comment) will get one in the head, that would be to bad. (I am happy that Mike is less excitable than Vod and clearly concerned about Teixeira’s well being).
