Miller hopes to be ready for spring

And I hope we'll contend next year. I'm curious what one does to rehab from finger surgery. Shuffle cards? Wash fruit? Ah, right...paper football.

I don’t care what you say, he’s pitching for Cleveland next year. I’m going to believe in him from this point forward.

I don’t think he’s ever lied. Just had problems.

Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?

He’s a bad egg. Nothing but trouble. You can never rely on him.

“Dude, are you ever going to play?”

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

A nice avatar would be the A-Rod meets A-Rod in the mirror shot.

Usually, an incredible waste of pixels.

Everyone would know it was a joke.

True, but it would still be embarrassing.

Who said anything about lying. Believe IN him. Not believe him

You know what the O and N in Clemson stand for right?

What are you talking about? Do you mean the word “on”? because yes I know what that means despite my previous problems with noticing prepositions.

The O and N in Clemson stand for Honor and Knowledge.

Is this a derogatory statement used by other schools that I am not aware of?

There’s 31 pages of Clemson jokes on a USC site, most of which I have heard directed at other Big 12 teams by KU fans or at Michigan by OSU fans.

Did you hear about the fire at the Clemson library? A real shame, both books were destroyed. And one of them wasn’t even colored yet.

So I assume the O-N thing comes from people like that. I did learn that Gamecocks call Clemson fans Taterheads, for some reason.

We just call them cocks. But they do that themselves so they do the work for us.

Everyone that goes to Clemson should know these jokes. My Dad, Clemson alum of 1970, told me these jokes growing up. The joke works much better phonetically.

Some guys will never accept that their body isn’t durable enough to make a living with it. Let them have their dreams. Just don’t expect me to put my heart into it.

I hope he’s back, as everything he was before, if only for the sake of those of you never got to see him pitch in person. Against right-handed hitters, coming out of the windup … I’m not much good at waxing nostalgic, but you saw him throw, and you knew you’d seen something, and that’s the best I can do.

by fleerdon on Aug 5, 2009 11:52 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Definitely. He also looked like a fully grown 28-year-old at age 21. Big arms and shoulders.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

by Jay on Aug 5, 2009 11:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

So if he’s ready to pitch at age 28, he’ll look like a “fully grown” 35-year-old?

by odradek on Aug 6, 2009 12:07 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Don’t really know what this means.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Paul Reuschel? Was that like from a fantasy camp or something? He looks like a 65 year old bus driver or something

Nope…but that is a hard-living 32

No doubt this guy is teaching shop class in some high school in Ohio. They didn’t even look at his credentials, saw him at the interview and said, “You’re hired!”.

Obtained by the Tribe from the Cubs for the infamous Dennis DeBarr on June 26, 1978.

Obviously not as successful as his brother Rick.

God, the 80’s were bereft with pure classic baseball players.

Who knows…maybe we can get him to start drinking a 12pack of beer everyday until spring, and we get the next Bob W out of the whole finger issue.

Wait…are you thinking Miller should consider amputation?

by MTF on Aug 6, 2009 9:41 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

sure, why not? I’m bailing hay later this weekend, I’ll call him up and see if he wants to get his finger stuck in the bailer. I’ve done it once before, didn’t help me pitch, but seemed to help Wick.

by MooneysRebellion on Aug 6, 2009 11:01 AM EDT up reply actions 1 recs

My relative lack of stature always kept me on the ground, away from the baler. I had no idea that was going to ruin my baseball career.

Got jammed one time and we were trying to get it unstuck. Not one of my more brilliant moments in life.

I’ve been saying this literally for months. We don’t need every finger, we just need the whole arm and, you know, most of the fingers.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Then he could get one of Antonio Alfonseca’s spares and have it grafted on.

I believe there was an error in the first line, I’ve fixed it below:

CLEVELAND — Indians right-hander Adam Miller is hoping to be ready for his next surgery by spring training after undergoing the second of two planned surgeries on his right middle finger.
