Braves Quote For The Day: Salt and Pepper

PrintFrom a Mark Bowman piece on Atlanta Braves phenom Jason Heyward:
According to Freeman, the only time he has seen his close friend antsy or frustrated during the past couple of weeks has come during those instances when he hasn't been able to watch what he wants at their Spring Training residence.
"He doesn't like my 'American Idol,'" Freeman said. "He wants his sports. We play sports, so sometimes I like to watch something else. I'm always the one with the clicker. So that's not my fault. He should choose what I choose. If he wanted it so bad, he would take the remote."
It's like Frenchy and McCann all over again with the uber-familiarity and awkward living arrangements. Let's just hope they don't buy a house together and then get matching dogs... wasn't it matching dogs? Someone help me here.
By the way, if you read that whole article there are very few actual quotes from Heyward. He's not a guy who gives a great interview. He's a man of very few words and those words are usually exactly what you would expect with no exaggeration or extra words. Also, you'll see a lot of Matt Diaz quotes in pieces about other people. That's because he's readily available quite often in the clubhouse and is always willing to jabber with the beat writers. I've got a bunch of good quotes from Matty that I need to transcribe. I'll get to that this weekend.

Dude, that one chick can absolutely rock – the one that sings like Meredeth Brooks.

Yeah, she’s pretty good. She’s my wife’s favorite. I’m partial to Didi, even though she usually gets hammered by the judges.
"Matt Diaz is a baseball player."-Joe Simpson
Didi is the only cute one left, so I root for her.
Crystal Bowersox and the big dude are far and away better than the others.
At first, I didn’t like that Andrew Kelly kid, but he has started to impress me. He definitely can sing.
And I just want to say that if Miley Cyrus were competing on the show, she would be gone after her song on Wednesday. That was horrible. She is the most undeserving, talentless singer out there, IMO – even more so than the Jonas douches.

The little bit that i caught was pretty bad, but i was surprised at how mature she sounded during the individual sessions. Definitely not your typical teenager.

She’s an actress. I sincerely believe that she was just acting. Think about the advice she gave Andrew Garcia – lose the guitar. What??? Without the guitar that dude is lost. His unique take on the acoustic guitar is what got him this far, and he definitely does not have a stage presence without it.

Are we going to go off on another music tangent. haha?
The last one was epic and I got a ton of new music from the TC crowd. A huge shout out to SB for his help for sure!

This is true. Totally watched an episode in the hotel while I was in Florida.
I wrote a novel, it's about baseball, you should buy it: https://www.createspace.com/3407939

Oh, that I was in Florida for nearly two weeks doing nothing but watching baseball and that I got to get a lot of autographs and talk to a ton of players and catch up with old friends and make new friends and also happened to be able to spend an hour of my short time at a hotel watching a rerun of a great TV show? Yeah, that was sad…

Rub it in why don't ya...
and maybe you could have gone to a beach for a little night drinking, or to a bar. You know, those little things where you might possibly meet a girl, instead of holing up in your hotel room watching a TV show intended for females age 16 and under, or 40 and older.
Hell, you were in Florida, you couldn’t find any $75 sex offers on craigslist? A crappy cinder block strip club, or even the esteemed Club Lido in Cocoa?
Haha, oh… Yeah, we did find time to go see ’She’s Out of My League’ and my buddy said it was the first time he’d ever done anything other than go to the park or eat during ST. There was this one jackass kid from Florida State who was like, ‘We gotta go drinking tonight man!’ and I was like, ‘I don’t even like being around your right now, so even if I did drink I wouldn’t want to be around you doing it.’
But seriously, why go out to a place I don’t like (bars and clubs) to waste time doing something I don’t like (trying to get a girl to like me)?

Well, they were roommates in a house McCann bought… didn’t buy a house together. But worse, they bought brother dogs. Their names are Brody and Tyson.
I shouldn’t know that, heh heh.
As Mac tells it, he bought Tyson for Ashley, she was away at college and wasn’t able to take care of him, so Mac ended up doing it for her, and Jeff just happened to buy the same kind of dog for himself (see the video linked for full story). I think you’ve seen this video (and posted on your blog), but for people who haven’t it’s there because it’s quite funny. Who knows if this story of Mac’s is actually true or not?
Not to mention, they both have/had matching china sets and bed sheets, too.

Raging jealousy over not getting to be the guy to bump and grind with Erin Andrews?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I’d pay good money for that.

American Idol=Lame
If you aren’t going to watch sports, make it something good…
My favorite “go to” networks outside of sports:
Comedy Centraly (Futurama and South Park)
History Channel (Pawn Stars, other interesting stuff)
HD Theater (Car auctions)

Lizziebeth to thread.... Lizziebeth to thread.....
She can probably give better info on the matching dogs… but I think they were brother dogs. She also says that their wives are “matching” as well since they look so similar.
braveslove.blogspot.com is her website. That along with Rowland’s office and TC are DAILY reads for me.
oops
meant Lauren T. got my female TC’ers confused
Thanks for the compliment, tho...
Don’t mind being mistaken for the multi-talented LT!!!
However, I think the matching wives part may be as in their personalities, not looks…Catie’s a blonde and Ashley’s a brunette. But both are quite…ebullient. (yeah, I’m trying to improve my writing. oh whoops, was that rather insider-ish? sorry). :)
Ugh. He says “Clicker”.
Ok, poll time:
1. Clicker?
2. Remote?
3. Channel Changer?
I say remote.

What’s your take on:
A. Refrigerator
B. Frige
C. Refrige

I say fridge and refrigerator. I have never heard anyone call it a refridge before.

Clicker. And Channel Changer? Really? Are we 90 years old?

Icebox
Moving pictuuuurs
laptap-whadoyoucallit?
Disc box (DVD player)
That’s it off the top of my head of the ones my 91 year old grandparents use. But they do say “Remote”.
My grandmother says “Cellular telephone”.

Alittle disappointed our BIG, TOUGH, MASHING, MAN EATING 1B prospect follows American Idol but it’s cool. As long as he maintains this play of the field, he could do whatever he wants off it.

Nothing wrong with AI. At least he isn’t watching Real Housewives or The Bachelor.

Um, if a grown man watches it on their own...
without female encouragement, I disagree.

There is nothing wrong with someone enjoying music. Do you walk out in bars when people start singing pop songs on keraoke night?

I wouldn't be likely to walk in there in the first place...
I’d be more likely to walk into the bar with a real, live band playing. I love music. Real music, not prepackaged, glittered up karaoke in 2-3 minute spurts followed by 4 minutes of criticism and 13 minutes of commercial. But I will agree that Bowersox is a damn good singer. I liked the mullett kid too (thanks wifey).
The one that missed the cut…yeah, he had a really unique voice.
See? AI is not a total waste of time. There are some really talented people (and not fake) on there. Crystal is a perfect example of why I like that show.
Also, I think Randy is hilarious and Simon is right like 99% of the time.

Heyward made the team
DOB is twittering that Heyward was told he’s made the squad for opening day

It's official
Heyward has made the team per DOB!!! I figured as much when they took Redmond off the 40 man roster.
They took Redmond off? What? Abreu and Marek at least should have been ahead of him.

I didn’t think Abreu had an option left, but Merek certainly does. I don’t know either…
