"I sure do miss watching you jack hangers way the heck out… if only they were about a mile to the right."

So first we got another in-depth game recap from Schilling about his appearance vs. the Orioles, which focused especially on Millar's K. Today, we get the official greatest blog post in the history of the internet (with apologies to previous title-holder Surviving Grady), in which Millar responds with his own account of the at-bat, complete with Schilling's parenthetical snark. Observe:

1st ab he shook 3 times and I had a feeling he was shaking to the curve ball but still didnt have the balls to sit 1st pitch curve ball on Schilling. Then, I did call time out, telling Tek “What the hell is Schill doing shaking to the curve ball?”, and bam! sure enough here came this hanging curve ball (Curt: I beg to differ, the first one wasn’t hanging) I watched for strike 1, and couldnt pull the trigger. Then schill came back with another (Curt: which I did hang) whiched I pulled foul (Curt: into the vendor selling lemonade, which for anyone sitting along the 3rd base dugout knows is no surprise, Kevin hooking a pitch foul) and yes he threw the 3rd one in a row which I layed off.

This is ridiculous treasure for a baseball fan. (Especially since I myself long since dubbed a towering fly ball which leaves the stadium foul a "Millar Home Run".) To echo the first commenter on the post: "that was beyond special." In so many ways. :)
