everything's better when we're together...
CLOBY ♥
Buchholz and Ellsbury have been in this together for a while. About three years ago, they showed up in Lowell, Mass., Ellsbury polished at Oregon State, Buchholz raw from Angelina College, a Texas juco. Both were first-round picks, and the Red Sox decided to room them together.
When they walked in, the beds were sheetless, the room without air conditioning. Ellsbury sat on the plastic mattress.
“You’d roll over,” he said, “and it’d go, ‘Kchhhhh.’ “
The beds softened as the men hardened. Buchholz grew into his 6-foot-3 frame and last season struck out more than 12 batters per nine innings over his 23 minor-league starts. Ellsbury crushed the ball at Double-A, continued banging at Triple-A and forced the Red Sox to call him up for good in September.
:O!!!!!!!!!!!
Bow chicka bow bow!
Okay, so. Clobyfic is no longer on Life Support. Nay, one step up! Now if only I could tear myself away from 80s!S/G long enough...
ALSO. In things that involve my team. Ryan got his 10 Mil! Le gasp! And Jimmy, I love you but EVERY ONE ON ALL THE TEAMS INVOLVED NEED TO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. Or, conversely, the Fish, Braves and Nats need to get in the mix. Which, I don't think it would take much to prompt Scotty O or Lo Duca to start jawwing.
