NOTHING

This is the time you earn your paycheck is what the experts say.

When you go out the night before and get wasted, celebrating the performance bonus you got for doing little to nothing.

Just keeping the nose above the watered-down minor leagues.

I guess I should be thanking my agent for thinking about that stipulation.

It was a selfless gesture, actually done with my best interests in mind.

Which is the way it should be considering I’m the one out on the mound, by myself, every time the phone rings and B-pip looks my way.

B-pip is the bullpen coach, Skip and juvenile humor rolled into one word for yet another location specific phrase that few will pick up on.

Not that we’re advertising, but it’s the things like that that fill the time as we all sit and wait for the phone to ring and our moment on the hill in the sun.
