sweet tea will never be as sweet.

I listen to NPR in the morning while getting ready for work. Every once in a while I will respond to something from a report byQuinn Klinefelter or Amy Miller but I usually just listen because I love Quinn Klinefelter's voice. Anyway, this morning someone, not sure who, reported that the Tigers acquired right handed pitcher Edwin Jackson from the Tampa Bay Rays. I didn't really think much of it because I don't know anything about Edwin Jackson. But then. Then I heard the radio voice say, "in exchange for outfielder Matt Joyce" and the room started to spin and I let out a scream... NOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOO!

Not Sweet Tea!!

Not the man that rescued the kitten from the bullpen at Comerica Park in the pouring rain!!!

I think part of the reason I am feeling so sad to see Matt Joyce go is that he did a lot for the Tigers in 2008. There were a couple players who got called up from Toledo who really pulled through for the team.

Be well Matt Joyce. I know there are some fans in section 338 at Comerica Park that will always be cheering for Sweet Tea.

Now. About sweet tea, the beverage. I have only had sweet tea once. Julie and I got breakfast from a fabulous biscuit place in Durham, NC and we got sweet tea. I think it was a bad place to get sweet tea. It was waaaaaay too sweet and I couldn't drink much of it. I'll have to try it again sometime but I'm feeling like I'll have to wait until I'm in the south.
