Now that I’ve written a fancy headline, I feel free to express my true feelings about the acquisition of George Sherrill by my Los Angeles Dodgers and his pitching debut yesterday: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
In case you missed it, the Brim Reaper was brought on in the 7th inning with 2 runners on and no outs. He quickly dispatched Nate McLouth and Kelly Johnson via strikeout.
All Sherrill has done is come in and look … electric
Chipper Jones came up batting right handed and was eventually pitched around, and up came Brian McCann with the bases loaded. One swing would’ve tied the game, but Sherrill wasn’t gonna have any of that. With a 2-2 count, Sherrill throws a sick breaking ball that nicks the high inside corner, and McCann is sent packing.
Crisis averted with style. Welcome to Dodgertown, George.
I guess I was already somewhat attached to Sherrill since he’s on my fantasy team, but after watching this video over and over, my feelings are strengthened and reaffirmed. So much so that I bought a Sherrill jersey t-shirt in extra baggy XXL. Now I just gotta make sure I have the matching flat bill and I’ll be in business. Yeah, it’s serious.
