I don't care if he calls himself Ethel Merman..just hit something damn

[ATLHawks3]

I hope Melvin hits above .250 

[macdaddy]

Does this zero his lifetime stats?

And now Melvin Jr is down with a foot injury. Some sort of inflamation around the heal bone. Sounds awful AND like one of those injuries that never heals.

However, MUpton wasnt going to give us much anyways, so this is really no big loss.

Haha - at least Ethel Merman could hit a note...she could belt out the songs in her time.

 

E.M. trivia:  Ethel married Academy Award winning actor Ernest Borgnine and they went on an "around the world" honeymoon trip.  They didn't even make it all the way through their honeymoon before they split up...one of the shortest Hollywood marriages of all time.

That's deep DJ...I actually never heard her songs but rather they referenced her on the early 80's movie "airplane II" and some mental tranny thought he was Ethel in a looney bin that Ted Striker was residing. Lol
