When In Rome

Daddy says The Franchise is fine:

The pitcher's father filled in some of the details of his son's illness, saying, "He had major-league dehydration. It was a combination of flying in from the Chicago game, a delayed flight. He didn't land until 1 in the morning." 
Translation:
The pitcher's father filled in some of the details of his son's illness, saying, "Brian Wilson closed in on my Timmy and lured him to the New York nightclubs.  After a long night of unspeakable acts, Timmy realized that he's about a foot shorter and 200 pounds lighter than Brian, at which point those last seven limoncellos did him in."
I'm almost proud of our Freak for showing some reckless youthful behavior in what clearly was a nod to the imbibing prowess of Ruth, DiMaggio and Mantle.

Kudos, Tim.

Did he really get wasted? Really? It's amusing to think about, but I can't pick up on if you're actually serious or being ironic.

From a comment on FB:

"I heard he dressed up like Josh Hamilton for the 1st and 2nd rounds of the home run derby and bombed a bunch of homers, then went to save 55 orphans from a burning building during the finals, letting the real Josh bat for himself. I'd be dehydrated too, after that."

Timmy had one too many Bud Light Limes. That is to say he had exactly two.
