"Each year, with our players, I ask them what their goals are," McLane said. "I said, 'Roy, what is one of your goals?' He said, 'To own a bulldozer.' That kind of took me back a little bit. I had never heard that before."

I heard this on the radio last night and I LOVE it. I mean, of all the goals to have...a bulldozer??!! Very cool, indeed.

If I was starting my own team and could pick one pitcher off any MLB roster to be my ace, I'd pick Oswalt. And that was BEFORE I heard about the bulldozer.

As good as Oswalt is, you'd pick him over Santana?

I hate to sound insulting, but he is such a hick. I heard he has problems reading and everything. Oy vey.

But hey, to each his own.

Do you have any idea how many MLB players don't read up to a high school level? They are by far the most uneducated group of professional athletes. The fact that some pitcher from Houston wants a bulldozer, however, doesn't speak to education level, but the way he was raised. I grew up with plenty of people who love to have them a piece of good farm equiptment.

Really? I always assumed that football players were a lot worse in that department.

I know it doesn't speak about his education level, but it reminded me of a story that I heard about him. Didn't mean to insult anybody as I'm from the South myself.

WTF? He can read fine. He was on Letterman doing the top ten list in October. He didn't seem to have any problems reading then.

Maybe he had an earpiece and they were dictating it to him?

Florida doesn't count as the south.

Ive never heard this before, but its probably because a lot of them are literate in the wrong language, having never lived in this country before.

A bulldozer is farm equipment?

A lot of people consider the South to be the states that formed the Confederacy during the Civil War. Since Florida didn't secede, many people don't include it when talking about the South.
