The Magic of the Pointer
Before we get into tonight's post, a quick response to a recent comment. As always, thanks for the comments and keep them coming.
Cheri, At April 23
Cheri, the name that Matt and Mud call Jose is Cheo (pronounced Chay-o). Mud asked Jose about it and he said that it is a nickname for anyone named Jose. Just like the nickname for Eduardo is "Lalo," for Jose its "Cheo."
The theme of the post tonight is the pointer. If you've been watching the telecast, you saw Matt use one of these beauties to point at Mud's sketch for entry in the t-shirt contest. This all started when I bought one of these when I was a spotter for Matt during an NFL game. I never made it to the game thanks to some winter storms and it stayed in my bag for the entire winter. During spring training I pulled it out a few times and its the kind of stupid funny thing that we love. I know some of you are reading this thinking "you guys? Stupid funny? No way...you're yankin' my chain"
Mark Grant has fully embraced the pointer and bought one of his own. It really has taken on a life of its own here in the booth. I asked Mud about the pointer and he said "I love the pointer! It's awesome!"
When I asked Matt about it, he shook his head and muttered something about hating us all.
Hopefully all of you at home have seen one of the pointers up in the booth as it is one of the silly things that keeps us sane up here over the course of the long season.
