The Smiley Award

We may have lost another two games, but all was not lost on the benches where smiles filled the dugout with warmth and happiness.  It was a close call this week, with both Derek and Colin very deserving of the award.  It really came down to 2 things.  1) I didn't really know what Derek was doing at the time, but while he was catching he had a really funny look on his face, causing me to be a little distracted and walking a batter.  After the inning he told me what he was doing, and it all made sense.  He was putting his smile on display for me to see, but with the grizzly adams length of beard, it resembled something a little more out of The Shining.  Too bad it freaked me out on the mound.  And 2) Colin's a dentist.  He brought a tin of chew.  Enough said.  Congratulations to Colin on a smile well done.  We've got two more games tomorrow night, so there'll be plenty of opportunities for smiles.
