...good one, remember? The one that doesn’t fold under the pressure. Theo didn’t end up signing you, buddy. You’re a New York Yankee. You’re supposed to be at your best against the Red Sox (see Ramiro Mendoza). Where is Mendoza, by the way? I’m convinced that if he and Kim come off the DL, the Red Sox will find their way back to second place in no time...

The hospital promised to post a picture of baby Ramiro, named after his grandfather, on its website. Luckily, Perez had been deployed along with the 5th Special Forces Group from Fort Campbell, Ky., a high-tech outfit with a laptop linked to the Internet by satellite--a laptop reserved last Christmas Eve solely for the use of one Randel Perez. He hunted and pecked until the screen filled with a digital image of Ramiro. Perez stared at the picture...
