Trouble with the Curve Page #5

It's raining, for chrissake.

Yeah, outside it's raining.

In here it's like a four-alarm blaze.

Look, twice in one week.

What, did somebody die or something?

Pete came to see me.

Did you hear that Jurrjens

pitched a no-no?

He wanted to know

if I thought you were okay.

Yeah.

I know you're a vegan and everything,

but some of this meat would re...

Yeah, I told him that I thought so,

but I called Lloyd just to make sure.

That's a good burger.

What are you doing?

No, no. Don't do that. Don't do that, no.

This is really nice.

Nice stuff.

Do you want to talk about it?

You know how these doctors are, they

don't know their right from their left.

You're always reading in the paper...

about how they're taking off

the wrong part of some poor guy.

You need to meet with a specialist.

I've got a job to do,

and if I don't do that job...

the Braves will get somebody else

to do it.

You know, they already think

I should be playing Bingo...

- and drinking little umbrella drinks.

- They can't fire you over an illness.

Yeah, well, they can

certainly phase me out.

I've only got three months left

on my contract.

Well, how are you gonna scout this guy

if your eyes aren't right?

I'll figure something.

How?

You hungry?

You know, every good chef says that

you got to eat a meal when it's warm.

You know, I had this...

This crazy idea you and I could actually

have a conversation about this, rationally.

Well, we are. If you eat some meat,

it's great protein for you.

How about that?

Well, don't worry about it.

I wish it were that easy, I really do.

That would be awesome.

Trust me, it's there.

Article 15, section 2A

clearly states the precedent.

Yeah, find it. Check the public record.

Get back to me. Thank you.

Do you work while you sleep too?

When I have to.

That's one good thing about not having

any family. You can focus on work.

I have a family, and they're none

of your goddamn business.

Excuse me.

After you.

Cheers, Todd.

Cheers.

Well, I hope you're enjoying the trip,

sweetheart.

We're just entering the beautiful state

of North Carolina.

Do you need an extra key?

No, just one, thanks.

Don't even think about it.

- Room 4 is vacant. Do your homework.

- Yes, ma'am.

Sorry. Last room on the end.

Okay. Thank you.

- I wish Daddy was here.

- I do too.

Thanks.

Come on, baby.

I understand, Mickey.

And I fully support what you're doing.

I'm just questioning the timing. There's

so much to do before the presentation.

And I will get it done, okay?

You can count on me. It's just a few days.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen...

and welcome

to Swannanoa Grizzlies Baseball.

This afternoon,

the Grizzlies host the Fairview Raptors.
