I graduated from high school in rural south Mississippi in the early 1970s and every basketball and football coach I had routinely used the phrase "put the quietus on." None of those guys knew a word of Latin and they slept through "Romeo and Juliet" in ninth grade English.<br /><br />I think Davey's use of "put the quietus on" establishes his seriously redneck credentials a lot more than it does his credentials as a Shakesperean or Latin scholar (I say this somewhat sadly as someone who was a victim of three years of Latin in high school and college). <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-75409474023314934552013-02-17T21:26:49.173-05:002013-02-17T21:26:49.173-05:00This is just such an exciting time.

I guess the big thing is to get through the next month with a minimum of injuries. Big news for us will be who goes to Syracuse or who is waived. We really do have a complete group of players and Rizzo will probably still look at the waiver wire but not like when we needed to fill our roster for the trip north.sjm308https://www.blogger.com/profile/01236550495879254916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-25985110305385703012013-02-17T19:49:40.035-05:002013-02-17T19:49:40.035-05:00NatsLady- I saw that!

Davey said before he's a math guy so probably Math & Chemistry professor.<br /><br />I like the off-season preparation so far and the 3 pick-ups are very strategic moves Span, Haren and Soriano and add the return of Ramos.<br /><br />Moving Bryce to a corner OF and allowing him to bulk up should help him through the grind while adding some power.<br /><br />JZim working on that 4th pitch (changeup) is exactly what I felt both he and Gio needed. I'm hoping we hear something similar from Gio on a new pitch he is working on. I think Detwiler is a year behind in his full progression and Davey already talked about Det using all of his pitches.<br /><br />Espi unfortunately had the injury he was dealing with and is still a work-in-progress.<br /><br />Ramos needed to rehab that knee and lose some weight and he appears to have done both.<br /><br />RZim had his shoulder to rehab and Werth had his wrist to work on and Desi needed to work on his body core balance.<br /><br />Tracy looks like he had a great off-season and has his power stroke back.<br /><br />All in all this team looks ready to go. I think Rendon and the 6th starter to add additional depth is also a key.Ghost Of Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05745394350047225996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-64885071291653189562013-02-17T17:51:30.583-05:002013-02-17T17:51:30.583-05:00NatsLady, nice read!
