Oral Surgery

Ceil had some oral surgery to relive the pain she’s had for the last few weeks. It had been getting worse and worse…the one good tooth she had holding up a bridge had become infected, and they had to take it out. She feels much better already, although she’ll have to go back soon to get the teeth replaced. I had thought I’d only be out for a few hours in the morning, but quickly realized that I’d be needed at home all day.

Will had spent Monday night at the Normans, and rode with them to Living Science yesterday morning. I had to go out to Woodstock to pick him up yesterday afternoon. I never get to go out there during thee week like all the moms do, and I was able to spend a little time helping Mr. Davis, the “headmaster”, which was good.

I agree about the bullpen being stronger, and Frenchy, Langerhans, and Thorman need to improve. Perhaps Thorman will be serviceable and improve, but he could be the next Klesko. Johnson could always hit…like you say, that’s why they gave him the job, not just because of this spring, but because of his past performance. He hit those 3 HR in one game in 2005 in Texas. They’ll give him some time, and he’ll eventually sink or swim.

Does Frenchy think he’s proved himself to be the player that McCann has? He’s said he needs to be a more disciplined hitter…he things he can consistently hit .290. Other’s (Baseball Prospectus?) agree…but he has to prove it. The Braves were willing to talk about a long term contract, but were unable to agree on terms. Does he really want to go play for Boston? They’ll back up the truck for him…they’ll sign anyone. But Boston already has a young Frenchy…a guy named David Murphy. I haven’t checked on him yet this spring.

I’ll get to watch the game tonight…though Anna and Matthew will want to watch Idol…Tony Bennett.
