A quick convo from the ballpark after the jump.
: Take this you smarmy internet reading buffoons. You thought that Thompson was starting tonight. Haha, I'll show you. Joel, get over here.
: Are you kicking me off the team? I haven't thrown since July but I understand that you wanted to keep the bullpen pitchers warmed up. It's ok I understand. [/pulls pay check out of back pocket, holds close to heart]
: Did I give you permission to speak? You're starting tonight. Go get warmed up.
: Wait a second. Wasn't I supposed to start. It's on the official site. You told me the other day that I was going to get a chance to start. [/kicks nearby puppy]
: Look. Too many people were talking about it. They thought they knew what was going on. I'm just doing what any infallible, world class, best there ever was manager would do.
: I read that you were going to start me in a comment on some message board today.
: Shit. . . .
