Ah...this one just speaks for it's self:

Arroyo was all thumbs (texting)By Hal McCoy Friday, February 27, 2009, 01:09 PM

What do you think?
Bronson Arroyo spent at least two hours standing outside in the sun, near the Cincinnati Reds offices, wearing civvies and scrolling through his cellphone.“Do it about once a week,” he said.

“I’m so busy doing stuff around here that I can’t answer so everybody leaves me a text or a voicemail. I answer ‘em all, but I do it like once a week.“Some players are real jerks and don’t answer their messages, but I try to answer ‘em all,” he said.In between thumbing texts and answering voicemails, Arroyo said, “I can’t wait to get on the mound today. Feels like it has been a year-and-a-half since I pitched. I know we’ve been throwing on the back fields, but that’s not like facing hitters on the other team. And, for some reason, I feel so skinny.”

In the first inning, it was as if Arroyo sent texts to Philadelphia’s Sane Victorinio and Raul Ibanez to tell them what pitches were coming. Both doubled for a run as Arroyo appeared to be lobbing the ball.He was. He said he just tries to throw strikes in the first inning, get a feel for things. He’d rather give up hits than walk people and said, “No matter how established you are you don’t want to go out there and walk people. Shane Victroino (Philadelphia’s leadoff hitter) smoked that double off me, but I was happy that it was a good pitch.”He was more Arroyo-like in the second inning, going 1-

2-3.ARROYO’S POINT was well-proved by Philadelphia starter Andrew Carpenter, a rookie. He didn’t retire a batter at all, not one. He walked three, gave up three hits and four runs. He faced six hitters and all reached base. That spawned the down home hlumor of Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel, who said, “What did he do wrong? He didn’t get anybody out, that’s what he did wrong.”
