Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

Kissing ass pays off

Toady Witt gets the call.      Sycophants everywhere rejoice!    I guess he deserves it though, with 36 apples polished, 99 boots licked, a .289 noses browned average, and a team leading .937 glad handing average.    Pretty soon, Maddon will have very shiny white sneakers when he rides his stationary bike - which will be disinfected and wiped down immediately after he is done.

PS
Just to clarify, I did mean "Toady Witt", rather than "Today Witt".   Either would fit, but the former is more apropos.

Think about it
If he was called up because he was kissing ass, wouldn't he have gotten the call some time ago? I mean, there is only about a week left before roster expansion, when he would have been called up regardless. You'd think kissing ass would have meant he had been called up sooner.

Explanation
"If he was called up because he was kissing ass, wouldn't he have gotten the call some time ago?"

It takes the Devil Rays Front Office 2 hours to watch 60 minutes and a couple weeks to read USA Today.    Just saying.
