Hampton:
Jayson Stark writes about Mike Hampton's attempted comeback with the Braves. Mazzone has the best line in the article:
It was so obvious that when Hampton first threw for his new pitching coach a few weeks ago in Atlanta, it took Mazzone barely a minute to see that Hampton's delivery of the sinking fastball was drastically different from his four-seam sailing fastball.
"I don't want to make it into any big deal," Mazzone says. "The only thing I saw was that, when he threw his (four-seam) fastball, he was fine. But when he went to the sinker, he was trying to really make it sink. He got out of sync trying to make it sink. That's the best way to put it."
The Braves have to hope he doesn't sink like 'NSync. That would stink. (Must resist temptation to channel Dr. Suess!)
Too late.
This one,
I think,
is called
a Yink.
He likes to wink,
he likes to drink.
He likes to drink, and drink, and drink.
The thing he likes to drink
is ink.
The ink he likes to drink is pink.
He likes to wink and drink pink ink.
SO...
if you have a lot of ink,
then you should get
a Yink, I think.
