Tastefully

I don't really have time today to write extensively about Doc's return, so I'll save that for his actual game. I posted links on Twitter a few classic posts about Doc (which more often than not, featured AJ Burnett. I clearly have a thing for contrast.)

The National Post had a piece about how much Romero was influenced by Doc and how much Ricky wanted to go head to head with him, old ace vs new ace.

“I knew I was never going to be a Roy Halladay but I can make a name for myself and be Ricky Romero. He always taught me that,” Romero said.

“He always said, ‘You’re going to have to create your own identity.’ I took that with me and to this day, I continue to build on that.”

As for what the team has planned for the return, Paul Beeston said, "It’s going to be done very tastefully, respecting his team and our team."

So, I assume that means a pig race, jell-o wrestling and a wet t-shirt contest.
