Maddon2005: Now I understand that this couldn't have been the easiest season for you having suffered a pulled hammy, dislocated index finger, torn ACL, inflamed pancreas, hangnail, type 2 diabetes, gout, pink eye, and an infection in your left calf muscle leading to its amputation. |

RoccosModernLife: ... /sticks hand beneath running spicket |
|
RoccosModernLife: wah-wah wah-wah |
|
Maddon2005: Well the Devil Rays organization has come together and decided it wants to make you one of the premiere cornerstones of this franchise. We're prepared to offer you $32 million over the next 6 years. |
|
Maddon2005: Now I know you haven't fully regained your ability to speak since coming down with typhoid, so I'll take your violent neck spasm as a yes. This is going to be a great relationship. |

RoccosModernLife: It's been a long road to recovery. |
|
RoccosModernLife: Aggrivating? Sure. Testing? Even more so. Through it all, though, I've found out I'm a lot stronger than I thought I was. |
|
RoccosModernLife: The numbers don't affect me much. Of course I'm well aware that I'm closing in on 1700 at bats and that's great, but it's really about helping this team turn around as quickly as possible. I'm not going to rush myself back too early and wind up right back on the DL. I do plan on playing in 2007 though. |
|
RoccosModernLife: Playing could mean a myriad of things, though. I mean I could just tell certain guys what I would do in games and have them do it. Or maybe just tell them what I would have done and mark it down in our books. |
|
RoccosModernLife: What I'm getting at is that I don't think there's a chance of me stepping onto a baseball field and physically moving around until well after my contract is paid in full, if ever. |
|
RoccosModernLife: That being said I was wondering if it would be too much to ask for my number to be retired and displayed on the right field wall, given that I embody the effort and production values of the entire organization. |

EvryBdyLovesRaymond: /waves /humps air wildly |
|
RoccosModernLife: Wait, when did you get an ATV Mr. Maddon? |
|
EvryBdyLovesRaymond: /speeds off /continues humping nonsensically |
|
RoccosModernLife: Hey do you know how long it takes to regain sight? |
