Future Redbirds

Derrick Goold has a very good interview with Mitch Boggs up at Birdland. Check it out.

Here’s a snippet–

DG: Are you aware that you haven’t missed a start as a pro?

MB: It’s something that I take great pride in. I think it has to do with how you prepare yourself in the offseason and the work you get in between every start. You pitch every five days, but you put in the work on the days inbetween. Some times it’s overlooked. Because it’s not the flashiest of things — working between starts, doing the running, getting the side sessions in. I’ve also been lucky enough with my health. I haven’t had a problem.

And there’s this not so tasty tidbit-

DG: Whose the last one to the car? (ed. note-he’s rooming with Mark Hamilton and Jason Motte)

MB: Hamilton. He’s always cranking out some breakfast on the way out the door. We have to drag him to the car with his Hot Pockets.

Hot Pockets?!?! For Breakfast? No wonder he’s the last man to the car. “Good morning! You’re about to call in sick.”

In honor of Mark Hamilton, enjoy Gaffigan’s Hot Pockets bit.

-Elsewhere, Dustin has a preview for Team USA. They will play the Peoria Javelinas today at 1:25.
