You wanted to sell R.A. Dickey, but no one was buying. Seeing last year as a fluke. Said he couldn't do it again. Said you had too much fruit in your tapioca for even drafting him. They told you go fly a kite with Dickey, but not around children or it would be weird.

Do you know anything more about Dickey than you did two days ago? He says he's been dealing with cold weather and a sore back and he's blaming the WBC. Excuses are like Alcides Escobar, everyone has one and they all smell. Did Dickey's back suddenly clear up? Because he gave up six earned in his last start.
