Pronk Speaks
Q: Is this the most you’ve looked forward to a year, to prove something?
TH: You look forward to every year and you prepare for every year, but it just feels like I haven’t played for so long that I’m excited to get back out there and start playing again.
Q: Do you have to fight doubt?
TH: Not really. I feel my shoulder is healthy now and it’s not going to be an issue.

sure seems that way, huh?
i pine for the days of grand slams … the days of pronk being the best hitter in AL … and think that, second only to the uncertainty in the starting rotation, hafner’s recovery is an important variable in the tribe’s ability to compete this year. not the be-all-end-all, mind you, but …
also, i feel i should call attention to this comment on the PD website…
“Hope you are back you big muscular man you. I felt like an idiot for wearing your jersey to the game. I want to feel proud again like years past. Good luck to you fine sir.”
Yes, I too hope the big muscular man is back.
“It’s a night and day difference from this summer,” Hafner said. “This summer, I’d do a set of 10 [repetitions in lifting workouts], and it would take three to five minutes to recover. Now I can just hop in between with no rest at all. Just in general, it feels like it’s getting back to normal.”
I guess I didn’t realize he hasn’t actually swung a bat in several months. Well, at least he’s been drinking, so I don’t feel so uneasy now.
Who drinks with their left hand? I’m even mostly left handed and I don’t do that.

Let’s Go Tribe: Even Our Posters are Mostly Left-Handed.
Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.
I’m lefthanded too. If the bartender puts the glass down on my left side, I use that hand. If the bartender puts the glass down on the right side, I go with the right hand.
What if you get a beer out of the fridge? What hand do you use then?
