A little late starting today because I had to take care of some Phillies’ related business, etc. … I’m sure you’re all really interested in how busy I am. You know, because no one else is ever busy at all...
Sheesh!
Anyway, I (and a bunch of others) had a nice little chat with Game 3 starter Jamie Moyer before today’s game where the ol’, wily lefty waxed on about everything under the sun as it related to baseball. At one point Moyer mentioned that after yesterday’s game he asked Cole Hamels if he had learned anything from his first post-season start. Hamels told Moyer that he had.
Moyer said he told Hamels that learning and having fun was the best part about baseball, and as long as a player does just that, everything will be OK.
So I asked Moyer what he’s learned this year, 22-years into his Major League career, and what kind of “new fun” he’s having.
“Sometimes you just got to shut up and not say anything,” Moyer laughed.
That’s funny because if you know Jamie Moyer and had a conversation with him, it will last all day. The guy loves to talk, which is great because he has interesting things to say.
Just think if he was Brett Myers… wait, was that my out loud voice again?
Anyway, I will be writing about Moyer today. Look for the story after the game.
