Eventually I just gave up and said "I don't speak Spanish, but I still think you're great!"<BR/><BR/>I do agree I think he might have ADD but not a learning disability (I work around a lot of kids with them and he doesn't so much show the signs of being "slow" as he does easily distracted and in constant movement which is a tell tell sign of ADD...for example watch how he fidgets and blinks A LOT.) <BR/><BR/>I really like Ollie, he's one of my favorite pitchers. I want him to stick around because he is just so...unique and when he's on, he is ON.Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558502055473509156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-28666744576318273542008-06-30T11:53:00.000-04:002008-06-30T11:53:00.000-04:00Charity - I agree there is something sad there. D...Charity - I agree there is something sad there. Did you see the post game interview he gave? It's on SNY. He has such a hard time speaking english, but there is something more than that. Endy's and El Duque's english is terrible, too, but they don't struggle so painfully to express themselves. I found that interview to be very poignant and made me feel so sorry for him. I wonder if he doesn't have a learning disability or ADD or something. And he seems very defensive about the whole Good Ollie/Bad Ollie thing. He kept saying, "This is the real me". I regret having made fun of him. <BR/><BR/>Schneck - your "sorry about my mom" comment in the previous post absolutely made my day. You were kidding, right?katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757578559952821218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-69365682220758893012008-06-30T11:25:00.000-04:002008-06-30T11:25:00.000-04:00I guess Ollie finally figured out he looked pretty...I guess Ollie finally figured out he looked pretty stupid hopping over the line after just being lit up for 6 runs...weesle909https://www.blogger.com/profile/13002607890588207793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-52091384613151512612008-06-30T10:32:00.000-04:002008-06-30T10:32:00.000-04:00I agree with Unser--shop Ollie now.

Glad you referred to the original BNB - the re-make with Billy Bob was absolutely awful.<BR/><BR/>Let's see how they do with Church back in the line-up. You could argue that they were beginning to roll until Church went down in Atlanta. Since then, they've had basically no production from 6 through 9 in the batting order.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And here's a query - would you shop Ollie now, after his best start of the year? Perhaps get a right-handed hitting outfielder?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-38056287387221763562008-06-30T07:40:00.000-04:002008-06-30T07:40:00.000-04:00your observations are sound but untimely on a day ...your observations are sound but untimely on a day when the mets take another subway series from the skanks.<BR/><BR/>dude, if you're going to be this somber when they win, what will you be like when they lose?<BR/>oh wait, we know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-54999121507524231042008-06-30T07:12:00.000-04:002008-06-30T07:12:00.000-04:00Just an observation, but did you notice Ollie does...Just an observation, but did you notice Ollie doesn't jump the line anymore?<BR/><BR/>That actually makes me kind of sad...however if it keeps him pitching like this, more power to him!Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558502055473509156noreply@blogger.com
