Matusz

16. August 2008 by Orioles Fanatic.

Hot off the press, this just in:

The Orioles on Friday announced that they have come to terms with LHP Brian Matusz, their first-round pick (fourth overall selection) in the 2008 First Year Player Draft.

Isn’t “coming to terms with” something you do when you resign yourself to bad news? Like, “I’ve come to terms with the fact that the Orioles will definitely not be going to the World Series this year, unless a new one is invented for those of us at the bottom of the standings.” Or, as someone put it to me yesterday, “I’ve come to terms with the fact that the Orioles ‘have fallen on hard times.’”

Here’s how freedictionary dot.com describes the idiom, “to start to accept and deal with a difficult situation.”

Still, despite how the wording was phrased to suggest the Matusz will be another dismal addition to our pitching staff, if you rearrange the letters in his name, you can spell Utz, and that’s gotta be good news. If not, I at least hope HBP will share some of his special techniques to make next season interesting, if not good.

Interesting. Yes, I’ve come to terms with “interesting” being the most I should hope for.
